Schedule Expectations

SSLC offers training and playing opportunities throughout the year.  Spring is our primary season with full practices, games and mandatory expectations for players.  “Fall ball” is designed to provide lacrosse playing opportunities while supporting multi-sport athletes and player dedication to the sport they are playing that season.  We also provide development opportunities and encourage play on club teams throughout the summer.
