Emphasis will be on individual skill development with an introduction to game concepts in this youth lacrosse program. All players are welcome and will be placed on gender and age appropriate teams (grades 3/4 together and grades 5/6 together). Teams will be created with equally balanced skill levels. The season begins once we are able to get outside (on FHS Turf), and concludes in mid-June. Equipment needed: boys need shoulder pads (compliant with current NOCSAE standards), arm pads, helmet, gloves, mouth piece, and stick. Girls need a mouth guard, eye guard, and stick.
Exact start dates and weekly practice days will be posted below as the season approaches. All practices will take place on Monday-Thursday at Pownal Road Field between the hours of 3-6pm (roughly), and will begin as soon as fields are dry/open (in 2024 the first official practice date was 4/22).
We will publish the practice schedule as soon as we are able! For now, here is the 2025 Practice Schedule for reference:
3rd/4th Boys - Tuesday/Thursday from 5-6:30pm @ Pownal Road Field (starting on 4/29)
