The Bandits have finalized plans for their 1st & 2nd grade Rookies Lacrosse program. It will be 9 one hour lacrosse sessions that will introduce your child to lacrosse and other fun athletic activities.
Bandits have decided to add an additional team at each of their three age levels to help create the opportunity for more playing time for all players. Because of record turn-out for the spring, and the importance of multiple touches and game experience for players, the Bandits added an additional team at all three age groups. .
The Bandits are excited to announce that their original head coach has returned to the area and helped out coaching the Bandits this fall 2018. Coach Caroline will lead the Bandits Winter Lacrosse Skills & Drills clinic this winter. Caroline is a Northwestern University graduate. She played on the National Championship lacrosse team while she was attending school there. Caroline, a Loyola Academy grad was a high school lacrosse All-American and multiple Illinois State Lacrosse Champion. The Bandits are very fortunate to have Coach Caroline back with us—–she is recognized as one of the best coaches in the state.
Bandit alumni, Daphne Karahalios, 2020, recently committed to attend and play lacrosse at West Point for the Army women’s team. Daphne attends Culver Military Academy and plays club lacrosse for the Denver Summit Elite 2020. Way to Daphne—-we are proud of you.

Bandits were excited to offer fall lacrosse to thirteen 3rd graders this fall 2017. This spunky group was fun to work with and improved greatly. Bandits are excited to include this 3rd grade group in the winter and spring programming moving forward.
Bandits create a shortened 6 week Fall lacrosse program beginning Sept. 6th for those players ready to start their Fall lacrosse after Labor Day!
The Bandits popular late summer/fall lacrosse programming will be beginning August 14th. Programs usually sell out so please register as soon as possible. This year we will be starting August 14th on Mon/Weds. and some Saturdays. The program will run until October 7th. The main focus of the fall is to upgrade skills for established players in a relaxed and fun environment. Additionally, we use the fall program to help instruct new players on the basics of lacrosse. It is a great time of year to really work on skill level no matter what level your daughter may be at.
