Boys and girls in grades 1-5 can learn to play one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. Lacrosse is action packed and lots of fun! The sport has elements of soccer, football, basketball and hockey. Once you try lacrosse, you’ll love lacrosse!

All equipment will be provided in this highly instructional program. Experienced coaches will be provided by Jump Start Sports, but parents are encouraged to learn about the sport so that they can help teach and coach it to Aurora youth. It is our goal to develop a competitive youth program and, eventually, a high school team in Aurora. Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the United States at the high school and NCAA levels.

All players will receive instruction on the fundamentals, including: passing and catching; fielding ground balls; cradling; spacing and positioning; and defense. Then they will be divided by gender and age to play fun game situational scrimmages which will help them learn more and enjoy the fast paced action of the game.

Plastic sticks will be used and no checking, stick checking, or poking will be allowed. No helmets or shoulder pads will be used. Players should wear cleats and a mouth guard.
