Spring Lacrosse 2024

8 weeks of super fun lacrosse games & instruction

Overview

Our Bandits team program is both a competitive and a developmental lacrosse experience that provides players with the tools to develop their fundamental skills as well as individual concepts necessary to take their game to the next level. This year, will have practices twice weekly for 8 weeks.

5th/6th & 7th/8th: Our older teams will be scheduling 6 to 7 competitive league games this spring.  The Bandits will have multiple teams this Spring. The U15 (7th/8th) and U13 (5th/6th) teams are our traditional competitive teams-usually divided by grade level.

3rd/4th:  The U11 (3rd/ 4th grade) team is our youngest group and considered developmental (beginners).   We usually are able to divide players into smaller groupings of three to four separate teams for instructional games –  We will have a fun Sunday “In-House” league for their games.  The 3rd 4th graders will all practice together on Monday and Wednesdays and then will divided into teams for their Sunday games which be small sided games 7 v 7 or  5 v 5 type events, where players receive multiple touches and extra lacrosse development. 4TH GRADERS~ WE MAY BE SCHEDULING A FEW SCRIMMAGES AGAINST OTHER COMMUNITY TEAMS IN MAY!

1st/2nd: Our youngest Bandits (1st/2nd grade) are called “Bandit Rookies” . Click here for Bandits Rookie Page

LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR SPRING 

The older Bandits (5th-8th) are excited to continue their 2024 Spring league play in the NSCL conference.  It is an exciting time for girls lacrosse on the North Shore–the league is growing in leaps and bounds.  We are guaranteed 7 league games with referees at each game- most games are within 30 minutes drive.  The league makes for a variety of competition for our girls because there are travel teams, ( NSU/Team One and Players 360), there are also community based teams like the Bandits, Evanston Youth Lax, Junkyard Dogs, Northside Youth, Lake County, Barrington, Arlington Hts., & Tinley Park.  We are excited to get our 10th spring season underway—this is going to be an awesome spring season!!
