| Welcome to Wilmington Wings! |  | |
Wilmington Lacrosse, located in Wilmington, Delaware, was founded in 1990. The Wings Program has grown from twenty-four seventh and eighth grade boys to over 400 girls and boys in grades K through eight. The spring season runs from late February through early June. Teams are organized by: age, grade, experience and skill.
The mission of Wilmington Lacrosse is to provide an opportunity for young athletes to learn and play the game of lacrosse, and to have fun in a safe and positive environment that fosters good sportsmanship and citizenship.
Lacrosse can be a very expensive sport, especially for the beginning athlete. If you need assistance with fees and equipment, please email us at:

| | | | Sports Injuries Growing!! | | | | posted 08/21/2010
Athletes: Please DO NOT SPECIALIZE. Play lots of sports through the year and your body will love you!
The following are excerpts from an article in the April 1, 2010 edition of the Wall Street Journal: "Youth sports injuries are reaching epidemic proportions," reports Alabama orthopedic surgeon, James Andrews. Dr. Andrews treats professional athletes. The incidence of youth sports injuries is rising. Some of the increase comes from the growing number of kikds who participate in sports. Another factor is the increasing number of kids who specialize in a single sport at young ages and who play year round. "They're putting more stress on their growing skeletons," says Dr. Peter Millett, a surgeon at the Steadman Clinic, Vail Colorado.
The Board of Directors of Wilmington Lacrosse echoes these concerns. We urge our athletes to play different sports throughout the year in order to avoid overuse of any muscle group. | | |
