About the True Blue Lacrosse Program
True Blue is committed to providing an affordable and highly competitive lacrosse community. Experienced NCAA talent along with current NCAA and High School coaches will develop each team with an age appropriate curriculum. The core values of Good Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Respect for Others and Community Service will be the corner stone of the organization. Our philosophy is that these values merged with a competitive spirit will enable our players to reach their collegiate lacrosse goals. The True Blue community will extend beyond the field with important college recruiting guidance and opportunities for our alumni to stay involved.
True Blue is a grass roots program originally started by a few parents interested in having their children play outside the typical regional tournaments. A large portion of the venture was privately funded and the U13 team travelled to Denver and most recently Stowe, Vermont. Painstaking care and communication was taken to ensure there would be no conflicts with the selected player’s commitment to existing travel teams.
The outpouring of positive feedback from all involved has motivated True Blue to a new initiative of providing an affordable yet comprehensive lacrosse community. The core values of the program will focus on creating a highly competitive and highly enjoyable lacrosse experience. All coaches will be hand selected for their ability to raise every player’s game and their strong desire to instill good sportsmanship. Tournament selection will include the acclaimed regional venues along with a continued search for quality Tournaments that provide a Family Friendly environment.

Is that a good thing that they are fielding 2 5th grade teams. Do they really have the talent to compete? BOTC spoke with Chris Roberts on Tuesday and Wednesday, just before there was a full club meeting to decide how to handle their age groups. Each and every player was individually reviewed from all of the observers who "graded" the players. True Blue did not make a decision to expand the team count before the review of the players. Chris was very weary of any expansion plan and told us that he would only do so if the Board of Directors/Coaches at True Blue truly believed that they had the right level of talent and coaching bandwidth to handle an expansion. If this age group was expanded, the club clearly feels that they are doing the right thing by these particular players and their families - and that the talent level is present to justify this expansion for the club itself. One final thought : with hundreds of candidates attracted to their True Blue tryouts (to the point that preregistration was closed here on BOTC), it would have been "easy" to just form as many teams as possible. True Blue is maintaining the quality of both the coaching and the program itself; BOTC wishes the program and its players a wonderful season.
