Girls Box Lacrosse

JOIN THE FIRST GIRLS FULL BOX LACROSSE PROGRAM IN HAMPTON ROADS!

Box lacrosse is an exciting fast-paced version of lacrosse that is becoming the top off-season training program for field players.  Played by the same rules and using the same equipment as boys, more and more girls’ programs are being established to give female players the same opportunity to elevate their lacrosse skills! Our recreation program will gradually introduce equipment and continue to develop core lacrosse skills while introducing players to age-appropriate box lacrosse specific techniques and strategies.  All players will immediately benefit from working in tighter spaces, shooting on smaller goals, and getting more reps and experience offensively and defensively regardless of position!

Winter 2025/2026 Season

Our box lacrosse recreation program is designed to introduce players to box lacrosse in an age-appropriate, fun, competitive, and safe environment. We believe it is critical for both the safety and success of the players to properly train the players in the techniques and strategy of box lacrosse. Our recreation season will focus the beginning of the season on skill development and competitive small games to allow players to gain confidence and to learn the nuances of box lacrosse before playing full scrimmages under official box lacrosse rules.

WHY BOX LACROSSE

Players and lacrosse organizations throughout the country – including top college programs – are embracing box lacrosse as the best off-season training for field players. Box lacrosse is played in a fast-paced environment with a 30-second shot clock, no restraining lines, and a smaller, enclosed field and smaller goals than field lacrosse. This creates an environment for far more touches and reps, quick decision-making, and creativity to accelerate player skill development. In this 5v5 (plus goalies) game, all players use a short stick and are placed in scenarios to enhance offensive skills and defense techniques – regardless of position – ensuring total player development.

Although there are plenty of similarities to the field lacrosse game, lacrosse players will enjoy the challenge of learning the nuances of the box game. Players will learn how to effectively use and defend the two-man game, set proper picks and roll, create opportunities off-ball and embrace contact. Are you ready to improve your stick skills, decision-making, become a two-way player and most importantly – HAVE FUN?!
