This program is a three-day-per-week commitment, with two practices during the week and a game with their Classic team on Sundays.  However, if your player signs up for and makes the Select team, it will be a 4 day-per-week commitment, with the additional Select game played usually on Fridays.  This division, like all of the divisions in our program, is organized by school grade. Sign-ups are done on a first-come-first-served basis. Multiple teams with balanced talent will be formed in this grade group with no cuts and everyone will play.  In addition to 7/8 Classic Program, the 7/8 Select team will play to be competitive and equal playing time should not be expected. It is expected that players make a commitment to both Classic practices and games.

The goal of HGYL's 7th/8th Grade lacrosse program is to continue to develop a passion for the sport of lacrosse by focusing on further development of the fundamentals, while also preparing the girls for success at the High School level.

• We will also spend time building stick skills with both hands and increasing “Lacrosse IQ” by teaching a Wheel Offense and different defensive strategies.
