Girls and Boys Summer League
Welcome to the main event! In our Summer league, players are ready to use their new skills against other local associations. Practices are more intense and skills are honed. This is separate from Spring League. Pre-season training starts in April, just like the Summer league has been historically (they will still practice 2x week at Schmitz-Maki Arena early in the season).
Here is what this Summer Season will look like:

8U | $150 |
10U | $300 |
12U | $350 |
14U | $350 |

Please note: We understand that there is some overlap between the spring and summer seasons. Please be understanding as we work out the kinks as this is the first time we are offering a spring season. Our objective and motivation is to give players more opportunities to apply and improve their skills in games.
Summer registration will close March 20
Farmington will have one 14U team this spring (combined 12U and 14U players due to numbers).
The BOX opportunity offers Tiger lacrosse players a comprehensive skill set, enhanced physical and mental attributes, and a more profound insight into the game. The distinctive challenges and advantages of BOX lacrosse can boost a player's on-field performance and foster their development as a versatile athlete.
