Girls' Spring Programs

Mountain Lacrosse typically offers the following girls' programs during the spring season: 

  • Girls 2-8th Grade Teams -- A full season of practices and competitive games in the Arapahoe Youth League. These grade-level teams are open to all skill levels, beginner to advanced. Come join your friends for a fun-filled and competitive lacrosse experience. 
  • Girls K-1st Grade Teams -- A shorter "lighter" season of competitive games in the Arapahoe Youth League. The kindergarten and 1st grade teams use a small field with fewer players (4v4), allowing girls to learn the rules and experience fun competitive play against other teams. 
  • Mountain Minis -- Our awesome in-house spring learn-to-play program for girls as young as preschool. Minis focus on fun while learning teamwork and skills. Minis will have several local practices in April/May; no travel/games.
