This fun non-competitive clinic is a great chance to introduce your Kindergartner to Lacrosse. Girls in Kindergarten will have practice once a week for 1 hour on Sundays (time TBD).   All of the girls will practice at the same time working on beginner lacrosse skills.   

There is no uniform to purchase, as HGYL Pinneys or T-shirts will be given out to all players as part of the program. The Little Laxers Clinic begin in late April and goes to early June.

PRACTICES: During these clinic-style practices, the girls will work on developing their basic fundamental lacrosse skills while striving to maximize player enthusiasm and a love for the sport. Players will use soft lacrosse balls, as we try to limit throwing and catching at this age (or until stick handling and hand-eye coordination is developed).

On Sundays: Kindergarten Players will need the following labeled equipment (see equipment options below):

• GIRLS’ Lacrosse stick
• Footwear:  Cleats (no metal spikes), turf shoes, or sneakers can be worn on the turf field.
• Water bottle
