3rd-4th Grade
Players will focus on introduction to the fundamentals of lacrosse, including passing, catching, ground balls, and teamwork - along with learning the rules of lacrosse and having fun. Girls' lacrosse has a unique set of rules, and very minimal contact, allowing youth players to focus on developing a strong base of fundamental skills. Practices will begin indoors in January and the season will run through mid-late May. Regular season practices will be twice weekly, and games are generally played on Saturdays within the greater Cincinnati area.
5th-6th Grade
Our fifth and sixth grade players will continue their fundamental skill development with an increased understanding of on-field strategy and positional play. Game play will be full-sided teams on a regulation lacrosse field with an emphasis on attacking and defending principles and midfield play. Practices will begin indoors in January and the season will run through mid-late May. Regular season practices will be twice weekly, and games are generally played on Saturdays within the greater Cincinnati area.
7th-8th Grade
The middle school program will focus on honing the critical fundamental lacrosse skills and competencies that will allow for participation in high school lacrosse. Players will be introduced to set plays on offense and defense and the game is played within standard lacrosse rules. Our emphasis will be on creating a positive team experience while ensuring competitive time for each player, based on practice- and game-evaluations of each player's skill level and performance. Practices will begin indoors in January and the season will run through mid-May. Regular season practices will be twice weekly, and games are generally played on weekdays within the greater Cincinnati area.
Each team's season will consist of 8-10 regular league games and one or two 3-game weekend tournaments.
Kindergarten-2nd Grade
At this time we do not offer a girls-specific K-2 program. However, we are gauging interest in a shorter developmental program for our youngest girls players. Please contact the coordinator at ohyalacrosse@outlook.com if you would be interested in this type of program offering for Kindergarten-2nd Grade girls.
