SPEED LAX

SPEED lacrosse is an innovative and dynamic discipline of lacrosse that showcases fast-paced and high-scoring gameplay. As a variant of the traditional format, it features 3-6 players on each team, creating an exciting and intense experience for both players and spectators.

• Learn & Play: 30 minute Skill Development session, followed by 30 minute SPEED LAX Game

• Fast-Paced Play: Game is designed to be a high-energy, non-stop game, with players constantly moving and touching the ball.

• Emphasis on Fundamentals: Focuses on developing fundamental lacrosse skills, such as cradling, passing, catching, dodging, shooting, and defending.

• Limited Equipment Required: Players only need a standard lacrosse stick and mouthguard. Protective eye goggles will be provided. NO LONG POLES

• CO-ED Scrimmage Format: Prior to the game, during the Skill Development sessions each week, players will be divided evenly by skill level onto CO-ED (mixed-gender) teams.

• No Specialized Positions: Unlike traditional lacrosse, SPEED Lacrosse doesn't have specialized positions, meaning all players are involved in ball possession. 

• Focus on Finesse over Physicality: SPEED LAX emphasizes finesse and skill over physicality, making it a great option for new beginning players.

• SPEED Format: Game is played with three to six players on the field at a time, with substitutions allowed. 

• BOX Rink: played in the BOX Lacrosse Rink, fast paced continuous action with the contained ball never leaving play.
