The purpose of the Learn to Play (L2P) lacrosse program is to introduce players to the fun of lacrosse. Ideally players will fall in love with lacrosse and continue on to play the sport at the competitive level. A good focus of time will be spent developing fundamental lacrosse skills such as cradling, passing, catching and ground balls. Fitness is sprinkled throughout various drills and modified games. Games are safe, fun and highly active! There is no contact or stick checking. Players will be expected to show respect for and cooperate with each other through team themes/activities. All L2P equipment will be provided. All equipment is provided in the Learn to Play program.
