Description of League: The City of Graham Instructional Lacrosse Program is an 8-week program offered for both boys and girls ages 7 – 14. The program is developmental and instructional.

At the end of the season players should have a greater understanding of the rules of Lacrosse as well increased abilities in the following skill sets:
- Cradling – The most basic skill in the game of Lacrosse. The purpose of cradling is to maintain possession of the ball in one’s stick.

- Throwing & Catching – Catching and throwing are crucial fundamentals of the game.
- Shooting – The actual act of trying to score a goal.
- Dodging – Allows a player to avoid members of the opposing team.

Equipment Needed: All players will be asked to wear cleats.

Class system breakdown: All participants will be placed on teams consisting of no more than 20 players and 4 coaches. There will be NO GAMES versus other teams or classes as we will have intra-squad games only. Teams will not practice nor scrimmage against other teams. Spectators and coaches will be required to wear masks, social distance, and follow all COVID-19 guidelines and regulations.
