Play lacrosse with us this summer in the Backyard Lacrosse Program!
We will once again host the 6 session backyard lacrosse program on Tuesday nights in Solon beginning June 13 with a break during July 4th week. This program is a mix of drills followed by free play. We will split the group roughly by age.
This is a No-Contact event so no pads or gloves. Play emphasizes body control, positional defense/offense, stick handling, ground balls, and shooting. Registration will open next week. We had a lot of fun with this program last summer. It has something to offer for returning players and is especially for those just starting out.
Registration for this program can be found here. The program is open to all ages and skill levels, boys and girls.
Join us June 5 to join us for a season ending celebration, recognition, and equipment return! We will gather between 5:30-7pm.
We will meet at the pavilion next to the tennis courts at the Solon Recreation and Nature Area (where our main practice field is). The pavilion is located along Sovers St.
Plan to return all of your rented equipment and uniforms (not the practice pinnie - those are yours to keep).
