Spring ‘26 Registration News
We hope everyone is staying sane through the holiday season. While it is a whirlwind time, it also gives us a lot to be thankful for. As our winter sessions are heating up we are looking forward to our spring cohorts and a few new sessions as we look forward to the spring time ahead.
Backyard Basics – Our traditional programming, we show up with our coaches and gear for an hour in your backyard. We aim for a 5:1 player to coach ratio for our younger players and try to have a max of 8:1 for all backyard sessions.
*Sticks only is just that. Show up with a stick! This session is to learn the basics of the game in a fun and supportive group. We work hard on making this a fast paced and fun session. We structure the sessions and aim for a 5:1 player to coach ratio so the kids get maximum reps and lots of feedback.
*Full Equipment includes goggles and a mouthguard for girls. Boys include a helmet, gloves, elbow pads, and shoulder pads. We incorporate goalies into these sessions for some fun game play.
Interested in hosting a session this spring? We ask for a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 players. We let you fill the cohort and then can help backfill with other participants. If you re not sure if your yard will work for the session please reach out to coach Josh and he can discuss it with you.
