This introductory class/league is perfect for younger age children to begin their lacrosse career. This
game, known as Modcrosse, was brought back from Australia by League Director Albin Haglund.
Every Sunday, a ½ hr clinic is provided followed by a ½ hr league game. Modcrosse stresses lacrosse
fundamentals in a non–contact game atmosphere. Our sponge balls make this a safe and fun way to
learn the game. This is a great venue for the young beginner without the investment of full
equipment. A Stick & Mouthguard only are required. Gloves are optional but recommended.

This will be our 5 Annual Fall Session. The league started with 4 teams in 2004. It was a huge
success with both players and parents. This fall league will be divided into 2 Divisions as it is our
most popular league, an “A” Division (advanced/competitive) and “B” Division (beginner/novice).
This enables the experienced players to strive for more, meanwhile, our B Division opens it up for the
new player to learn fundamentals and get playing time with players of their own ability.
Each Sunday, both divisions are broken down into a 1 hr. fundamentals practice followed by a 1 hr.
league game. Our “once a week” format is perfect for boys to play lacrosse during the fall along with
other activities. Each week players learn new drills and skills that they will use in league games.
This league is noted for its excellent coaching led by Albin Haglund & the Lax Locker Coaching
Staff. A must league if your child wants to start and continue in lacrosse.

January 2008. The league meets every Sunday for 2 hours for 6 consecutive weeks. Players will run
and execute fundamentals and drills for the first hour followed by a full hour of league lacrosse
games. Practices are conducted just like a jr high practice session. The young player receives
instruction from some of the best coaches around including from the AYLL on the Lax Locker staff.
This is also an excellent venue for getting your child placed on a team in the AYLL for the upcoming
Lacrosse year. Last year, over 120 kids at this age group participated. This year we will have 2
Divisions (A—competitive/AYLL players & BBeg/Novice). This is a perfect venue for the beginner
to pick up the sport and learn quickly and great for the AYLL player or advanced player to continue
honing fundamentals and getting game time against other advanced players. (Goalies Play FREE.)
