2019 Fall Youth Lacrosse Clinic FAQs

Fall Ball is here!  PABA will be running a "Boy’s" lacrosse program (i.e. full contact "Boy's" lacrosse...although girls are more than welcome as well.) for students in grades 1- 12 on Monday nights from 6pm – 7:30 pm.  The program starts on 9/16 and will end on 10/21.  We may continue into early November if the weather is nice or we need to make up rain days.  This house practice league will focus on skill development and we will practice at the fields next to Fricano Elementary (the same fields we played on this summer).  You will need the same equipment and mouthpiece as needed in the summer. 

Thank you for your continued interest as we are striving to continually improve the program.   We are excited to bring year round lacrosse to PABA and Starpoint!!
