2023 FALL LACROSSE
As lacrosse continues to grow on a national level, so does the Carrollton Lacrosse program! In the last few years, we have introduced the sport to 5–8-year-olds in the Flex6 format, added girls’ lacrosse and started our own recreation league which is the ‘Sixes League.’ We will continue to offer these programs this Fall and below is a detailed overview.
Flex6: This is a non-contact program for Boys and Girls 5–8 years old as of Aug 31, 2023. Players only need a lacrosse stick and a mouthpiece. No other equipment is required. This is a fast and fun way for young players to get introduced to lacrosse.
Flex 6 Practice Dates and Times: Flex6 will be once a week, every Thursday starting September 21st, 6:30-7:30PM. All practices are at Avenger Field. Parents are encouraged to attend and participate if they have played lacrosse or just want to be involved. The season will end November 9th.
Girls Lacrosse: This program is for Girls who are 9–13 years old as of Aug 31, 2023 (no 8th graders in Fall Season). This will be the second year of this program where the fundamentals of the game will be taught which include cradling, throwing, catching, and scooping. Mandatory equipment needed for girls’ lacrosse is a stick, mouthpiece, and lacrosse eye masks.
Pending the number of registrants, girls will either scrimmage each other or be divided into small teams to play round robin style, intramural games toward the end of the season. At this point, we do not have any scheduled games with external teams but will continue to pursue meet ups as we find emerging teams.
Girls Lacrosse Dates and Times: Thursdays from 6:30-8PM, starting on September 21st and ending November 9th. All practices are at Avenger Field. If you have women’s lacrosse experience or just want to be involved in the growth of this sport in the area, please let us know!
Sixes League (6v6): Available to Boys who are 9–13 years old as of Aug 31, 2023 (no 8th graders in Fall Season). The league will be split into two divisions – 4/5th Grade and 6/7th Grade. The first two weeks of the season will be fundamental work and conditioning where coaches will be grading players during that time. Players will be drafted, and parents will be notified as to what team their child is on prior to the beginning of league play on October 3rd.
This is a ‘full pads’ league and participation in this program will require all mandatory equipment including lacrosse stick, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, mouthpiece, and protective cup. This league will be short sticks only, no defensive poles will be allowed.
Sixes League Dates and Times: The ‘Sixes League’ will be once a week, every Tuesday starting September 19th, from 6:15-8PM. All practices/games are at Avenger Field. This season will conclude on November 14th. If you have previous lacrosse experience and want to coach a team, please let me know. ‘
