YMCA Community Service

Community service refers to the service our players perform for the benefit of our lacrosse community. People become involved in community service for a range of reasons - for some, serving community is an altruistic act, for others it is a punishment. The term "community service" within our league is about players giving back to others based on what they take out of their lacrosse experience. 

Many players have earned community service hours by participating in our umpire shadowing program. Shadowing teaches these players the rules of the game and in time will allow them to umpire youth games as well as teach youth in upcoming seasons and clinics. 

Community Service is used by college-bound high school seniors as a way of attracting colleges to accept them. Most colleges require both community service and work experience. The best overall community service hours for colleges is generally around 500 hours or more.
