    • We'll be focused on having fun, learning fundamentals, building teamwork and fast paced play.
  • 3rd/4th grade BOYS: 6v6
    • This fast paced, short field version of field lacrosse lets players get more experience, more positions, and more touches on the field than full field.  This is a fantastic option for all levels of players as it increases fundamental skills and field awareness.
