Instruction and play time philosophy

 Provide children their first opportunity to play organized games against teams from other towns


Emphasize basic lacrosse skills while introducing strategy, structured plays and how to play various positions. 


Play time during practices and games should be equal. All players should be given the opportunity to try any position during the course of the season


At this level we encourage kids to attend as many practices as possible to improve their skills.

5th & 6th Grade Teams

 Game becomes more competitive.  Full field play is introduced and checking is introduced.

Reinforce basic lacrosse skills as well as strategy, plays and positions.


All players should get the opportunity to try different positions throughout the course of the year.


It is expected that all players will get equal playing time but this does not mean all players will receive equal playing time during every game.

7th & 8th Grade Teams

3rd & 4th Grade Teams

7th & 8th Grade Teams

Coaches are encouraged to involve all players throughout the season however playing time at this level is a function of attendance at practice, ability, and effort.


Players on these teams should be prioritizing lacrosse practices and games.
