The Tyker (5-6) in-house program is intended to create a fun, learning environment to develop basic skills and an enjoyment of the game of lacrosse.  The girls play with a regulation girl’s stick and ball to develop the proper feel and technique with their first exposure to lacrosse.  Additional equipment needed includes protective eyewear, a mouth guard, and proper footwear (cleats) for a grass field.  The focus of the program is instruction and fun.  The girls are divided into teams for practice and play controlled games that are 7 vs. 7 on a small field with small goals and no goalies.  The coaches are on the field with the girls providing instruction and teaching points.
 
The program for 2009 will be held at the fields at Mays Chapel.  Tyker (5-6) Opening Day is Saturday, March 14th from 2:00PM to 3:30PM.  The schedule for the regular season is Monday and Wednesday evenings at Mays Chapel from 5:30PM to 6:30PM.  The season ends with a Round Robin tournament.
 
To be eligible to participate in the Tyker 5-6 division for the Spring 2009 season, a player must be 5 on or before September 1st, 2008.

 

The registration fee is $80.00 per player.
