3rd & 4th Graders Join us for Class!

The 6-week, Spring Clinic is designed to teach basics for new players while sharpening skills for seasoned ones. Each class has a different focus. No matter your skill level, we tailor the coaching to match your experience!

Players can sign up for individual classes, however it’s highly recommended that they book the full 6-weeks in order to get the most out of the program.

*If you’re looking to buy your first stick, we recommend an STX Jr stick from Dicks Sporting Goods (cost of roughly ~$50). A kid's lacrosse stick (from butt to top of stick head) should generally be around the length of their arm from the back of their shoulder to the tip of their index finger, with most youth sticks falling within a range of 36 to 42 inches depending on their age and position. Rhode Island Lacrosse is happy to advise on stick lengths, but due to time constraints during the clinic we ask you please adjust the length of the shaft before class.
