Welcome to Arlington’s Learn to Lax Program. We are in the second year of the program and looking to make some changes. We are very excited to be offering in addition to our more competitive U-9 Travel Teams. Unlike our U-9 Travel Teams, Learn to Lax does not offer any competitive games or formal competition. Learn to Lax is an in-town program that consists of a one hour-long clinic on Saturdays. No pads are needed for this program and sticks will be provided for every participant. This program is available to both male and female athletes who are in either Pre-School or Kindergarten. In a less competitive format, using familiar games like Sharks and Minnows and Simon Says, participants will be introduced to the five fundamentals of lacrosse in a fun, informal environment. Throughout the sessions participants will learn the following essential lacrosse skills needed to excel on the more competitive U-9 Travel Teams:
This year's program and hoping as a model for the future will be scheduled in between our U9 and U11 practices on Saturday mornings. The goal is to have some of the newer kids from both ages to have the chance to do some more skills works during the Learn to Lax sessions. Some K kids who are more advanced and have pads can also practice with the U9 team

Boys 2020 G1/2 "U9" Travel Lacrosse (K - 2nd Graders)
Overview: The G1/2 "U9" boys team is comprised of first and second graders. The league at the G1/2 "U9" level is based on a "parity" structure -- as such, the players will be evaluated, and then distributed across the teams evenly, based on their skill and experience. All 1st and 2nd grade players will be afforded equal playing time, provided that they participate consistently and regularly in weekday practices.
**K players will practice weekly with the full G1/2 "U9" teams, receive full uniforms. K players will be evaluated weekly and based on skills and development may be offered the opportunity to play in select G1/2 "U9" games. This is solely to ensure the safety of the K players.
From early April (depending on weather) through mid-June, the G1/2 "U9" teams will practice twice on weekdays, and will have their regular-season games on Sundays. We will expect to hold some pre-season practices in February and March, and will keep players’ families apprised of these opportunities. There will be some pre-season clinics to familiarize those new to lacrosse with the equipment and rules.
Costs: The player fee for the 2020 G1/2 "U9" program is $285.00 -- it covers uniform costs, as well as all fees associated with regular season play (town/rec department fees, jamboree participation, team fees, field fees, referee costs, team equipment, balls, etc.).
