Girls Program
Glastonbury Lacrosse Club's girls program is dedicated to providing girls ages 6-14 the opportunity to experience one of the fastest growing youth sports in the US. We serve residents of Glastonbury and residents of neighboring towns who do not have a USA Lacrosse recognized program.
Our program welcomes players of any skill or experience levels with a mission to grow the great game of Lacrosse.
Ages
The girls program is separated into five separate age groupings:
Rising Stars/ Kindergarten
Lightening 1st-2nd/U8
Bantams 3rd & 4th/U10
Juniors 5th & 6th/U12
Seniors 7th & 8th/U14
Programs available to players will be based on their birthday and USA Lacrosse's age brackets.
*Age Guidelines can be found on the USA Lacrosse Website
