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:

General Information: League hosted by Boys - YLM and Girls - MSLAX

- Outdoor Practice Mid-May - July 26th.

• 8U (Boys only) practices M-Th evenings twice a week for 1 hour
• 10U, 12U, & 14U practices M, Tues & Th evenings for an hour and a half

- Most games played weekday evening June - July
- 10U, 12U, & 14U teams will participate in 3 tournaments
- State Tournament for 12U & 14U teams July 26th - 28th. 
- Teams coached by current and former high school and college lacrosse players

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.
