Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have to attend every session? No — this is a “come when you can” program. It’s designed to be light, fun, and enjoyable.
  • Will we get a uniform? Yes. Uniforms (courtesy of Beltway Lacrosse) should be ready by Week 2.
  • Can I volunteer? Absolutely! We welcome all volunteers to help with lines, timekeeping, shot clock, and general support.
  • Is there active coaching? Coaching is minimal — mostly minor corrections and assistance. 6U will have some instructional time before play.
  • How are teams formed? Sticks are thrown in each week and coaches draw teams randomly. This gives everyone a chance to play with different teammates.
  • Will we use goalies? Yes — goalies play when available. If none are present, we’ll use Hectors to cover the goal.
  • How does Sixes differ from spring field lacrosse? Think shorter-field, basketball-style lacrosse. No offsides, fast-paced shifts, constant action, and lots of play.
