Girls Spring Youth 26

Spring is our FAVORITE time of year!

For over 20 years in the Upstate, we have looked forward to each and every Spring Lacrosse Season! The temperatures warm up. The sun sets later. Most importantly it's time to get out and play the game we all LOVE!

What do we like most about Spring Lacrosse? Working with youth players of course. All of our coaches commit to providing age and skill appropriate instruction that motivates every player WHILE HAVING FUN! Not just regular fun but "Having a BLAST" "I can't wait to come back next week" "I wish all my coaches were like this" kind of fun! Those aren't our words...they are from our past players!

What can you expect from our U12, U10, & U8 Youth Series? Simply spend 4 weeks of learning and playing with us in an environment designed specifically for your younger athletes. Many of those athletes have come away from Fall and Winter events wondering why coaches made them feel less than rather than being empowered with confidence. Many of whom spent more time not learning and not progressing rather than receiving attention and encouragement. Many of whom wondered how coaches yelling at them helps when what they wanted was clear and helpful direction. Many of whom got into the car after events disinterested and quiet rather than smiling recounting how much FUN they had.

If you know us you know we're different. Yes we understand the things the "system" convinces everyone they MUST do. We have heard, seen, and experienced it ALL. We spend every day working with players and families to reconnect them with what the sport brought to them the first time lacrosse entered their lives. It's what we are passionate about. It's our calling. If you don't know us just ask anyone who does and they'll agree. We deliver impactful instruction, build uplifting relationships, demonstrate how progress doesn't have to be difficult, and most of all...it can be FUN!

This Spring we've built a 4 week series for young athletes to spend time learning and then playing. No crazy time commitments. No lengthy travel. No pressure. Just engaging information with coaches who care about lifelong connections to the sport that has brought us all so much! Players will learn in a supportive environment with personalized feedback and concise direction. Then players will PLAY! Short field, high rep, EVERYONE participates, zero pressure playing!

The series will take place on:
April 12, 2026 from 4:00pm - 5:15pm
April 19, 2026 from 4:00pm - 5:15pm

SOUTHSIDE PARK

You may know the park as the location of Discovery Island Waterpark. Please refer to the Google Maps link or your GPS for specific directions.

Players will need to bring all of their equipment to include: Stick, Goggles, and Mouth Guard. Players should wear footwear appropriate for athletic activities on an outdoor natural grass surface. Cleats are HIGHLY recommended. Players should also bring a water bottle with enough water to stay hydrated during an active lacrosse session.

Please plan to arrive early enough to sign in. We will begin promptly at the listed times. Players should plan to be fully dressed and equipped at the listed times.

Only registered players will be permitted on the playing surface during the event.

We encourage parents and family members to attend, learn, and observe their players but please keep aware of your surroundings. Lacrosse can be a very fast paced activity and thrown balls have been known to stray from their intended targets. If you have any questions about where a safe viewing location can be found at the venue, simply ask any of the staff in attendance. We ask that only players be on the designated field area. This is for the safety of our players and staff.

All of the facilities we utilize are tobacco, alcohol, vape, and drug free venues.

We love four legged members of the family but please do not bring any pets to the facility. This is as much for their safety as it is for that of our players. An obvious exception is made for service animals.

Once payment is received, no refunds will be issued.
If a payment has been received for an event package or multiple session event, refunds will not be given nor the price changed for an attendee missing a session.
Event registration fees may not be carried forward to any future event and are only used for the event for which they were collected unless the event must be rescheduled due to local, state, or federal restrictions due to COVID-19.
Please keep these policies in mind when deciding to register.

The health and safety of players, parents, and staff are paramount to our event. As such, ALL local, state, and federal guidelines will be implemented and adhered to for the entire duration of the event. Beyond those guidelines, we ask the following:
1) If you or a member of your family are experiencing ANY signs or symptoms of COVID-19 at the time of the sessions, or have been exposed to someone who is experiencing ANY signs or symptoms of COVID-19 PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND.
2) Please be respectful of those around you by maintaining social distancing as appropriate and by wearing face coverings when 6 feet of distance cannot be maintained per appropriate local, state, and federal guidelines.
3) In the unexpected case that the NEXT STEP INDOOR is required to be canceled due to local, state, or federal COVID-19 restrictions, the event will be rescheduled for the earliest possible dates. Registered players and families will have their registration advanced to that event. Staff members will be in touch with each registrant to communicate all necessary information and details of new event information.
4) We fully expect to be able to hold a safe event. As guidelines continue to evolve in the coming weeks and months, we will also adapt the event experience in accordance with local, state, and federal as well as venue specific COVID-19 guidelines. ALL REGISTRANTS, FAMILY, AND ATTENDEES ASSUME ALL RISK SHOULD THEY DECIDE TO ATTEND. Registering for and attending any event indicates assumption of this risk.

5) As information, guidelines, and best practices change prior to the event, the event staff reserves the right to amend these policies either by reducing or eliminating policies or by increasing or adding additional policies.

All events are assumed to be held as scheduled unless direct notification is made through this website. In the case of severe inclement weather, every attempt will be made to hold the event as scheduled.
