MINI STICKS
Intro to lacrosse for boys and girls ages 3-8
Mini Sticks is a lacrosse experience designed to help 3-8 year old kids become the best versions of themselves while teaching the game of lacrosse in a fun, supportive way. Equipment is provided, but feel free to bring your own! Energetic coaches teach skills in an organized 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. We discuss "super powers" each session - characteristics that make you a great lacrosse player AND person. Players will be grouped by age as of 8/31 (following school age cutoff), but if you have a request to be with friends we do our best to honor that! Mini Sticks...BIG Fun!
