BOY'S INSTRUCTIONAL FALL BALL

The Boys Youth/Middle School Program will be a combination of instruction, live ball play, and clinics from coaches and well known lacrosse players in the area.  We will also include participation in the Silicon Valley Shootout for all Fall Ball participants.  

This Boy's Youth/Middle School Fall Ball program is primarily instructional.  It is designed for players new, or somewhat new, to the game, as well as intermediate players looking to develop their skills.  This program is excellent for boys who played in the NCJLA/Tomahawks last season, or were introduced this summer to lacrosse through one of our Summer Camps, or even boys who are completely new to the sport.  

Current experienced members of our travel teams have regular practices and tournaments in the Fall, and are not expected to also come to this Fall Ball.

Girl's Instructional Fall Ball

This year we'll continue to offer our very successful Instructional Fall Ball program.  We are offering Instructional Fall Ball for Girls of all ages: Youth (8U/10U/12U), Middle School  (14U), and High School on Sundays starting September 17th.   The program consists of 6 instructional sessions on Sunday afternoons in a format that offers a similar experience to summer camps: small group instruction focused on skill-development and game-like activities. We'll have a super coaching staff headed by Colleen Niklaus, former Head Varsity Coach at St Ignatius College Prep and current Director of Girls' Lacrosse at Team NorCal Lacrosse.  

This program is excellent for all girls of intermediate or beginner skill levels; likewise this program is great for those who played in the NCJLA (i.e. Tomahawks) last season, or were introduced this summer to lacrosse through one of our Summer Camps.  

This program is appropriate for all girls looking to improve their lacrosse skills, to get ready for the spring recreational season or prepare for their high school tryouts and/or our Team NorCal travel team tryouts.  (This Fall Ball program is not geared towards our current travel team members, as they have regular practices and tournaments in the Fall.)
