KYS Girls' Lacrosse is open to children ages 5-10. Players will be divided into groups by school grades:

  • K - 2nd Grade
  • 3rd Grade - 5th Grade

We welcome and encourage new players, even those who will see and hold a lacrosse stick for the first time. Our coaches especially love coaching new players and giving them the chance to love and excel at this fast-paced sport.

Knox Youth Sports Girl’s Lacrosse is an elementary school program designed for girls who do not have access to lacrosse at their schools for their age groups. The program is open to girls of all sports backgrounds. It’s fun to watch and even more fun to play. Girls enjoy playing with each other, and treat each other with respect, and have enthusiastic families.

Coaches are all volunteers and have played before at various levels, attend conventions/clinics, and have certifications up to Level 2 US Lacrosse Coaching Certification. Our coaches have the same goals for the girls; fun, safety, sportsmanship, skill development, personal responsibility, and long-term involvement.

Girls who participate in the KYS program will learn how to play the game correctly and leave the program with the ability to play the sport at the next level. Parent participation is highly encouraged.

Equipment

 

  • Stick: (be sure it's specifically a girl’s version which is quite different from boys). Please reach out to us before buying one and we will be happy to guide you to the right stick for your little one, often for less.
  • Goggles or Sports Glasses: to protect eyes, MUST be SEI certified ASTM F3077 (it will say it on the goggles). Cascade and Hummingbird are the only approved providers.
  • Mouth Guard: (must be colored, not clear, any color will do).
  • Cleats: Optional but recommended: There are Lacrosse cleats but soccer cleats are fine and that’s what most girls wear.
  • Gloves: Optional and not protective.
