Lacrosse isn’t about chasing scholarships or building highlight reels—at least not when your kid is barely big enough to hold the stick. At this stage, it’s about movement, friendships, and the sheer joy of running wild on a field with a group of other kids. If they don’t love it now, they’ll never stick around long enough to become great. So forget the rigid drills, the nonstop corrections, and the pressure to play "the right way." Let them play, and let them fall in love with the game first.
You want kids to get exercise, make friends, and pick up a few life lessons along the way? This is how you do it. Keep it simple:
Two goals, opposite ends of the field.
When a team scores, the defense grabs the ball and takes it the other way—no stoppages, no whistles.
