Axemen History
The Calgary Axemen Lacrosse Club was formed in 1989 to consolidate community lacrosse clubs in the Calgary Southeast.
Known initially as the Raiders, the club changed its name to the Axemen in 1990, borrowing from the name of the Maritime college football team.
Axemen Club Statement of Purpose
a. to organize, develop, train and promote amateur lacrosse players
b. to improve and maintain the moral, intellectual, physical and social qualities of the players of the club
c. to stimulate good citizenship and good fellowship.
Axemen Code of Conduct
Respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, fairness, commitment, and the spirit of friendly competition are foundational to the game of Lacrosse.
Those involved at all levels should strive to uphold these principals. For Axemen players, we believe these qualities are essential for success, enjoyment and athletic growth. When we look back on the time we were part of the Axemen Lacrosse Community, whether as a player or in a supporting role, we want to remember an environment of enjoyment and encouragement, conducive to growth both as an athlete and as a person. In an effort to achieve this goal the Axemen Code of Conduct, introduced in 2007, relates the foundational elements of the game to the Axemen Lacrosse Club.
CODE OF CONDUCT
As a club, the Axemen consider the following as important elements a minor league coach can provide for his players:
Respect for the game, its rules, officials, opponents, teammates and oneself.
Personal safety, fun, positive reinforcement.
Organized, patient, player centered teaching in all aspects of lacrosse.
A fair amount of playing time, based on the specific level and circumstances, with a mind to the best interests of each individual and the team as a whole.
As a player some specific conduct is required for everyone involved to get as much as possible out of the lacrosse experience.
A respect for officials and a realization that they are there to protect the game and the players themselves.
A positive and constructive relationship with their team mates
A certain level of commitment, recognizing that lacrosse is a team game, and as a player, they will only get as much from the game as they are willing to put in.
As parents we must remember why our children play minor league sports and appreciate the responsibility we have as examples and teachers. Both parents and other spectators should encourage the players and foster an environment conducive to athletic and personal growth.
Establish healthy communication with the coaches
Be a positive role model when relating to coaches, officials, other players or others involved in the game
Exhibit a respect for the rules of the game
Emphasize athletic and personal growth that results from full commitment to the sport
The Axemen Lacrosse organisation has a tremendous respect for the game of Lacrosse. As such the Board of Directors is working to improve the experience for everyone in our community. The Code of Conduct is an initial expression of the expectations for all Axemen members.
We trust that all involved will do everything they can to make this a reality.
