~~Letter to UConn Lacrosse Association Members From Coach Scordato~~

It is with much pleasure that I have been offered the University Of Connecticut Head Men's Lacrosse Coach position. I strongly believe that the University Of Connecticut Lacrosse program can be enhanced in many ways. My mission as the new head coach is to establish, implement and maintain team and program goals that will ensure a strong team environment and program development for this upcoming season and for years to come.  For success to happen, The University of Connecticut Lacrosse team will be following all of the established University of Connecticut rules, as well as the PCLL league and MCLA national rules. Because the program also includes alumni, parents, students, and the University of Connecticut community, I will ensure that each group will be involved in the success of the program and will reach out to each group for support and encouragement.

I am very eager to begin and look forward to meeting all the folks who will be a part of this program along the way.
