Girls Spring Season
Harvard Youth Lacrosse offers an in-town program for girls from age 3-kindergarten and a travel program for grades 1 to 6 playing in the Massachusetts Youth Lacrosse League. Boys can play with Acton-Boxboro.
At the youth level, lacrosse's primary season is spring and our season runs from March or early April to mid June. We also offer summer scrimmage play and fall instructional play to provide different types of opportunity for fun, learning, and player development.
There are no try-outs or cuts on in our program and coaches strive for equal playing time. Every player, regardless of experience or ability will have ample playing opportunity. Please do not be concerned if your child has never played lacrosse, we welcome players of all abilities in our programs.
