Girls’ Lacrosse
(ages 5 – 8)
Emily Wilcox – Director
The Girls’ Lacrosse Program is designed exclusively for our littlest athletes. Our 6 or 8 week sessions are offered year ’round, and feature hands-on lacrosse instruction in a small group setting. There is no stress and no pressure.
Lacrosse fundamentals include developing the key skills of the game, including cradling, scooping, shooting and some passing. We focus on overall fitness and an introduction to team sports, with fun developmental team-based games included in every session.
Pockets (4 & 5 year-olds):
This high-energy program introduces the game of lacrosse. Girls will learn how to cradle, scoop, throw, and catch through engaging games and activities.
Tykers (6 & 7-year-olds):
Tykers starts with the fundamentals of lacrosse (cradling, scooping, throwing, and catching) and gradually introduces defensive and offensive concepts. Players work on improving their stick handling and learn teamwork concepts through drills and games.
Lightning (8 & 9 year-olds):
Our Lightning program is for older players who want to learn the basics of lacrosse. We cover throwing, catching, scooping, and cradling and introduce dodging and defensive positioning. Players will get exposure to small-sided games and work on shooting.
Stick Skills (9 and up):
Stick Skills is a program focused on improving older players’ stick handling skills. Players will work in small groups and get one-on-one attention with coaches who have a significant amount of experience in lacrosse. Players will become more comfortable using both hands, pin-point their shooting skills, and improve the accuracy of their passes.
