About Youth Fall 5-6 and 7-8 Teams |
|
Registration Opens June 8 for the Fall and Spring Seasons (ends September 3)
Highland Park Boys Lacrosse Fall Youth League (5/6 grade level & 7/8 grade level): The goal and emphasis of the Youth league is primarily to develop HP players and teach basic skills and game strategies. Part of that development is competition at various levels depending on the player’s stage of individual development. Winning games is not the primary goal at this level, but will occur as a result of proper skill and game strategy development.
The HP Lacrosse Youth Fall 2010 season will consist of a minimum of nine Sunday practices in September/October and two tournaments in October/November.
Players will be divided up into practice teams and stay with their group for each practice during the fall. During each Sunday practice, the HP Youth Lacrosse coaching staff will focus on skill development and situational/game strategy for the first half of the practice; and then hold intra-squad practice games against another practice team to incorporate the training in a live game situation for the last half of the practice time.
During ALL fall practices, players will be evaluated by the HP Lacrosse coaching staff for team formation for the end of season tournaments. Based on fall performance, players will be placed on Championship and Competitive (A&B) level teams for participation in the end of season tournaments.
Dates & Time: Each Sunday starting September 12 through November 14 (see practice times below); Halloween Shootout tournament October 30-31 (Eastfield College, Mesquite) and the Lonestar Shootout (High Point Park, Plano) November 20-21.
