PRESEASON:
Preseason practices begin the first full week in March at Six Rivers Youth Sports in Topsham. Preseason practices are held once per week for one hour.
REGULAR SEASON:
After April vacation we practice twice weekly, with games typically played on either Saturday or Sunday. The competitive season spans roughly 6 weeks, and two games are usually played on each game day.
At this level we play a 7 v 7 format with goalie.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:
All field players are required to have a
lacrosse helmet, a mouthpiece, gloves, shoulder pads, arm pads, and an athletic protective cup. Cleats are not required but are strongly encouraged. Soccer cleats are fine. All field players must have shoulder pads or protectors that also meet the NOCSAE performance standard, ND200.
EXPECTATIONS:
This skill level of players in this program ranges from no experience at all to boys having played for several years. All are welcome. This level is about learning the game of lacrosse. It’s about learning the basic stick handling skills, positioning on the field, offensive and defensive strategies and playing as a team. It’s also about having fun!
