Bantams [3rd & 4th]

Our Bantam Team focuses on the development of core lacrosse skills and introduces field positioning and advanced rules of the game. As a Bantam, players will have the opportunity to compete against neighboring teams, in a 7v7 format, on a smaller field, with modified rules. As they learn the fundamentals, they will also be working to cultivate confidence and build a foundation of sportsmanship and teamwork in a fun and safe space.

Spring Season: End of March through beginning of June

Practice Days: Wednesday, Thursday

Time: TBD

Location: Practices will be held on the lacrosse fields at Nevers Park.

*subject to change based on weather and field playability.

Games: Generally one game each week, with 50% of the games requiring travel to neighboring towns. The Bantam schedule may also include participation in a youth lacrosse tournament. 

Bantam Team, House Club Developmental Player

If you're a player new to the league, you will register as a Bantam Team, House Club Developmental Player—a crucial step in your development as a competitive player.

While Bantam House Club Team members may not be eligible for league gameplay at the start, they are integral participants in every aspect of their respective teams. From immersive practices to tournaments, league nights, and engaging in-league programming and events, our developmental program ensures that you're fully integrated into the league experience.

Participation details and fees are tailored to accommodate our developmental players. Depending on the size of the team and individual progress, House Club players may have the opportunity to transition to the League Club Team during the season. This pathway provides a clear route for players to challenge themselves and reach new heights in their skills and competition level.

The commitment to development doesn't stop there—all Bantam House Club players are guaranteed a spot on the League Club Team for the following season. Our developmental program is designed to be a stepping stone for players, propelling them into the competitive arena while providing a supportive and inclusive space.

South Windsor Athletes

Spring registration will be limited to South Windsor athletes. Should there be open roster spots, we will extend registration to athletes from neighboring towns without their own youth lacrosse programs. Recognizing that several nearby town leagues are experiencing low program numbers, we aim to thoughtfully guide athletes from surrounding towns to those programs for the upcoming season.
