Juniors [5th & 6th]

Our Junior Team prioritizes mastering fundamental lacrosse skills while also introducing higher level skills and game strategies. As a Junior, players will have the opportunity to compete against neighboring teams, they are introduced to the 12v12 format on a full size field, and have modified checking rules. There is continued focus on teamwork, sportsmanship, and the development of character on and off the field. 

Spring Season: End of March through the beginning of June

Practice Days: TBD

New Players

Starting something new can be exciting and challenging, and that’s why we’ve created the New Player Program, a welcoming space for players who are new to our league. This program focuses on introducing you to our philosophy, teaching essential skills, and helping you feel confident both on and off the field.

As part of the New Player Program, you’ll participate in team practices, join league events, and get involved in our fun and inclusive lacrosse community. While initial gameplay opportunities may be limited, the focus will be on building foundational skills and confidence. As players develop their abilities, they will have opportunities to seamlessly transition into competitive gameplay during the season, depending on team dynamics and individual progress.

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.
