UPCOMING EVENTS
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2025 SEASON OPENS 12/15!
There are two notable changes this season:
The first is that the Western Mass Girls Lacrosse League has merged with the Connecticut Valley Youth Lacrosse League - this is an exciting development that will help enhance our players' lacrosse experience and further grow the sport in our region.
The second change for the 2025 season is that in the Senior division (7th/8th grade) we will now be tiering the teams into an "A team" and a "B team." The "A" teams will be comprised of more experienced and skilled players, with the goal of competing against tougher opponents. The "B" teams will have a more developmental focus, with more time spent reinforcing fundamental skills and learning basic lacrosse team concepts.
The Longmeadow Girls Lacrosse Association's philosophy is to expose young girls to the great game of lacrosse. We want them to develop a love for the game that will carry them through all their years! We will teach them a foundation of skills they will build on each year they play. We do this by evenly balancing our youth team rosters from grades 3-6. We do not tier our teams at this level.
Starting in 2025, teams in the Senior division (grades 7/8) will be divided into an "A" team and a "B" team. The goal of this will be to offer the optimal lacrosse experience to each player based on her own skillset and level of experience. "A" teams will be comprimised of more experienced players and play in a more competitive division, while the "B" division teams will be more developmental in nature, with a greater focus on teaching foundational skills and fundamental concepts to those players who are newer to the game.
WHAT TO EXPECT
BANTAMS
JUNIORS AND SENIORS
VOLUNTEER COACHES
We are an organization that is run by volunteers and we are lucky to have a great volunteer coaching staff. We encourage parents to volunteer as coaches and as assistant coaches. Experienced coaches will help you learn all you need to know about the game in our pre-season coaching clinics and are available throughout the season to mentor as needed. Starting at the Bantam level is ideal as this is when everyone is developing their lacrosse knowledge together. Please reach out to any board member if you are interested in joining our volunteer coaching staff!
