Great news for the GORC boys lacrosse program!!!!  GORC, in association with ROCKFISH Lacrosse, is working together to promote youth lacrosse in the area.  Rockfish Lacrosse wants to partner with GORC to help develop lacrosse players for grades 3 and up. Rockfish offers Fall lacrosse, skill drills and various tournaments.  This partnership will help keep players active in lacrosse training and will be able to offer GORC athletes the opportunity to play both rec and travel level lacrosse.  

In addition to the experienced coaching at Rockfish, coaching staff from GORC (Steve Mitcheltree) and others will be coaching with both programs.  Steve Mitcheltree will be coaching the six grade teams for both programs.

The plan is to offer GORC kids the opportunity to tryout for Rockfish (see the link below) in addition to playing GORC Lacrosse. In the spring, kids who make the Rockfish teams will be able to play in the Howard county (HOCO)  leagues on Sundays with other travel teams and with the Anne Arundel county Rec leagues on Saturdays. Once spring is over, they can continue playing with Rockfish in the fall. Kids who just play in the rec league will have every opportunity to continue to build on their skills and try out for Rockfish each year.  The goal of this partnership is to feed both programs with kids and give our young athletes every opportunity to play competitive lacrosse regardless of the level of interest or ability. 

If interested, please see the link below to look at tryout dates for you age group. DATES are coming up quick for tryouts so please don't delay.  There will be two separate fees, one for travel Rockfish and one for GORC county.  

We at GORC share the philosophy of Rockfish Lacrosse which offers a little bit of a commitment each season year round, but not such a huge commitment that it takes away from players playing multiple sports and with their rec teams in the spring. 

The year round program consists of:

• 6 days in the fall to play in a fall league
• 7 days in the winter, that include 3 skills position specific clinics and four team practices to be held at API indoor facility 
• 7 weekends in the Howard County Spring league
• 3 summer tournaments that are over by the end of June which allows families to still have plenty of their summer for vacation!

If you have any questions please feel free to contact the GORC commissioner here.
