2024 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, 2024. 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, 6:30-7:30PM, from September 19 through November 7. All practices are at Avenger Field. Parents are encouraged to attend and participate if they have played lacrosse or just want to be involved.
Girls Lacrosse: This program is for Girls who are 9–13 years old as of Aug 31, 2024. This will be the third year of this program where girls will learn the fundamentals, skills, and rules of the game. 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, but may coordinate to play some exhibition games later in the season.
Girls Lacrosse Dates and Times: Thursdays from 6:30-7:30PM, from September 19 through November 7. 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, 2024 (no 8th graders in Fall Season). The league will be split into two divisions – 4/5th Grade and 6/7th Grade. The first five weeks of the season will focus on fundamental stick work and conditioning. This is important to get all players acclimated to playing in the upcoming games and to better prepare for the Spring League.
At the midway point of the season, players will be drafted onto teams, and parents will be notified as to the game schedule, which will begin on October 22 and last through the end of the season.
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/long sticks allowed.
Sixes League Dates and Times: The ‘Sixes League’ will be once a week, every Tuesday, 6:15-8:00PM, from September 17 through November 21. All practices/games are at Avenger Field. If you have previous lacrosse experience and want to coach a team, please let us know. ‘
The cost for the Fall program will be $125 per player ($25 discount for multiple registrants), plus a non-refundable $2 transaction fee. To register, click on the registration link and proceed from there. For registration or fee assistance, contact Alan Godchaux at [email protected].
