WINCHESTER YOUTH LACROSSE IS BACK!!! PROGRAM 1
The House League. For the first time, we will be offering a Fall house lacrosse league. The WYL House League is for Kindergarten – 3rd Grade. We strive to make the House League FUN, get used to wearing the gear and start to get the hang of the game.
- Weather permitting, the season begins on September 27th. League meeting, and gear handout at Skillings. We will be SELLING gear this Fall. Full used beginner sets for $50. We do not sell sticks (which can be purchased online or at Lacrosse Unlimited in Burlington).
- House League players are divided into two, grade-based divisions: The Kindergarten-1st Grade Division and the 2nd-3rd Grade Division. We will also seperate by numbers to comply with local and state COVID guidelines.
- Within each division, we will create teams for “Game Days” (which will be Sunday 9:30AM at Manchester). Our first Game Day will be October 4th.
- Everyone will practice at 5:30PM on Friday afternoon/evenings at Skillings Turf. Practices will be for 75 minutes. The first practice will be on October 2nd. The last practice will be on November 6th.
- We will, of course, comply with all COVID rules. This means that our "Games" will not look very much like a real lax game. We will blow plays dead to avoid scrums. We will not allow faceoffs. And we will take other precautions.
PROGRAM 2
2020 FALL BALL - WYL FALL SKILLS AND DRILLS PROGRAM
We are excited to continue to accomplish our goal of developing home-grown high school caliber lacrosse talent with Winchester Lacrosse's Fall Ball program. The Fall Ball program will consist of 2 skills practices per week for each age group.
- What you will need: Everyone needs a stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads, shoulder pads, cleats and cup
- Also, everyone must be a member of US Lacrosse for insurance reasons.
If your son is not playing extra lacrosse (through a Club or elsewhere), this program is intended to push their lax skills forward in preparation for the Winter/Spring. If your son is playing lacrosse with a Club, this program is likely still doable because of the times and locations.
Program details:
- Program will run from September 21st - November 5th.
- 4 grade-based groups:
- Group 1 (4th/5th Grade)
- Group 2 (7th/8th Grade)
- 6th Grade - You can pick one, but not both, for your son. We strongly suggest that only the more experienced 6th graders play with the 7th and 8th graders.
- All practices will be at Ambrose Field, when it gets to dark to play outside practices will be moved to a turf field in town.
- All practices will be 4:00PM-5:15PM. Players are expected to be ready sharply at 4PM.
- Practice Schedule:
- Monday & Wednesday: 7th-8th (and select 6th)
- Tuesday & Thursday: 4th-5th (and select 6th)
- All players may attend one or both practices (for your applicable age group)
