Intro to Lax

Intro to Lax

NYL’s kindergarten beginner lacrosse program is a playful introduction to the sport of lacrosse in a non-competitive environment. The emphasis lies in creating a playful and inclusive environment where our littlest lax players can explore the fundamentals of lacrosse at their own pace. Coaches prioritize fun and skill development over competition. The coaches utilize imaginative drills and age-appropriate activities to introduce basic techniques like passing, catching, and cradling. The program aims to instill a love for physical activity and teamwork, nurturing the children’s social and motor skills in a supportive setting that encourages enthusiasm and participation. The kindergarten program places a strong emphasis on positive reinforcement and encouragement, creating an atmosphere where kids can develop a sense of confidence and camaraderie.

Kindergarten lacrosse meets once a week from late April - June. The exact dates are TBD.

No personal lacrosse equipment is necessary.
