Boys Fall Lacrosse
The Winnetka Park District, in conjunction with Lacrosse America, will be offering youth boys’ lacrosse for grades 3 through 8. Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in Chicagoland and around the country! This fast paced exciting sport combines the best of football, hockey, soccer and basketball. This fall’s lacrosse programs are open to beginners as well as experienced players. This is the ideal program to learn and practice the action-packed sport of lacrosse. All boys are required to have their own lacrosse stick. Protective equipment can be rented – visit lacrosseamerica.com for details on new and used equipment.

This program will be divided into three divisions. Boys in grades 3rd-4th, 5th-6th, and 7th-8th will play on Saturdays (times listed below). Boys will do drills and learn team concepts to use in games to be played against inhouse teams. Emphasis in games will be on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship and equal playing time. More experienced players should consider playing in the Lacrosse America fall league, details at www.lacrosseamerica.com.

Girls Fall Lacrosse Leagues
Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association in partnership with Lakeshore Lacrosse

Glencoe, Northfield, and Winnetka Park Districts are joining forces to be a part of a new and exciting youth lacrosse league exclusively for girls of all skill levels. This is a grade school league run by women in lacrosse who want to help girls reach their potential in a fun and safe environment. The goals of the program are to understand the rules of lacrosse, active teamwork, sportsmanship, and fostering personal development in a respectful environment led by positive coaching. All players will receive equal playing time and will be played in all positions.

Practices will be one day a week for 1½ hours. Games will be played on Saturdays or Sundays. All home games will be played in Winnetka. The game and practice locations and schedules will be posted on the web site: www.iglax.org. Neighboring teams in the league include, but are not limited to, Highland Park/Northbrook, Kenilworth, and Wilmette. The league fee does not include transportation.

Each player must have goggles, a stick, and a mouth guard. Sticks and goggles will be provided to use for each practice and game at no charge for players new to the league. For further equipment information check out lakeshorelacrosse.com.
