Winter Skills 2024-25
Winter Skills 2024-25
Learn the basics, tune up for the spring season, and PLAY LACROSSE!
The Winter Skills program ran through Payson Youth Lacrosse is a once a week lacrosse clinic, indoors, over the winter months. It is a fantastic opportunity to:
Learn and improve the fundamentals of lacrosse
Brush off the rust and tune up for the upcoming Spring Season
Get some exercise and have fun during the cold winter months
This year, we will have 11 total sessions, 2 hours each (see below for details), and we will have the FULL field! In addition to time spent with experienced coaches and players working on fundamentals, we will spend at least 30 minutes each week in full pad competitive scrimmage or game scenario drills! We believe the best way to learn the game is to play the game, and plan to spend much more time in game scenario scrimmages than we have in the past.
We will have coaches from the Payson HS Boys Lacrosse coaching staff, experienced PYL Youth Coaches, and players from Payson HS Boys Lacrosse teams providing instruction and coaching.
This program is available to:
Boys in 5th to 8th grade who intend to play on an Payson Intermountain Lacrosse team in the Spring 2025 season
Any lacrosse experience level, from brand new, to those who have played multiple season, on club teams, etc
Those who hope to play on an "A" team in their respective division are strongly encouraged to participate if they are able!
Intended for those in the Payson HS boundaries
Registration is limited, so sign up soon!
