Little LAX: Grades K-2 Boys & Girls
Our Little LAX Program is for athletes in grades K-2. Our goal is to have these athletes learn & practice the basic skills of the Lacrosse game and have some fun.
The Little LAX program is run by adult volunteer coaches and supported by awesome volunteer High School Lacrosse athletes that come to practices to help our Little LAX players when possible.
Season begins with indoor practices on Saturdays at the Gorham Sports Center in late March and runs through June.
Practices will be offered two nights a week for roughly one hour at Windham High School Campus. There will be games scheduled on Sundays, but please note some away games could be scheduled on Saturdays.
Grades 3/4 & 5/6 Boys & Girls
For athletes in grades 3-6, our goal is to have them practice & enhance their skills of the game, build their sportsmanship, and have some fun.
Season begins with indoor practices on Fridays (5/6 only) & Saturdays at the Gorham Sports Center in late March and runs through June.
Practices will be 2 nights a week for 1.5 hours at the Windham High School campus. Games will be scheduled on weekends.
Grades 7/8 Boys & Girls
For athletes in grades 7 & 8, our goal is to prepare them for competitive high school play, hone their competitive advantage, build their sportsmanship, & have some fun.
Season begins with indoor practices on Fridays and Saturdays at the Gorham Sports Center in late March and runs through June.
Practices will be 5 nights a week for 1.5 hours at the Windham High School campus. Games may be scheduled mid week if playing middle school teams and/or on weekends. *When playing mid week with middle school teams athletes may need to arrive to games (home or away) by 3 or 3:30. Please note, we do not have transportation as this is not a school run program. Parents will need to work together to coordinate rides if needed.
Expectations for Grades 3-8
We love multi-sport athletes as it makes them well rounded in many aspects. Lacrosse is a spring only season sport and we ask that athletes take that into consideration when committing to the season.
The season is short. In order to maximize the athlete's and teams' experience, please be prepared and strive to attend each practice and game.

Rental Option
WYLO has always been proud to supply equipment for our families, and we are incredibly grateful for the growth and continued participation in our program. With more players joining each season, the need for additional and updated equipment has also increased. Just let us know during the registration process by answering "Yes" to that question.
As many parents know, lacrosse equipment can be expensive, and much of our current inventory needs to be replaced. In order to maintain and grow our equipment supply, the board has decided to implement a small equipment fee:
-
Boys' Equipment (helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves and stick): $35 Non-refundable
-
Girls' Equipment (goggles and stick): $10 Non-refundable
If you don’t return your items, you will be charged the full replacement price.
All funds collected will be reinvested directly into purchasing new equipment and replacing worn-out gear.
