MINI STICKS 

Intro to lacrosse for boys and girls ages 4-8

Mini Sticks is a lacrosse experience designed to introduce 4-8 year old kids to the game of lacrosse in a fun, supportive way. Equipment is provided, but feel free to bring your own! Energetic coaches teach skills in a participatory and age-appropriate manner using creative games and exercises. The goal is to teach basic lacrosse skills while developing physical literacy in a supportive setting. Players will be grouped by age as of 8/31 (following school cutoff) and participate in small-sided games.  Mini Sticks...BIG Fun!
