What is Box Lacrosse?

All players carry a short stick and play defense, transition, and offense.

Played in a modified hockey rink, confined playing area develops outstanding stick control & timing.

Missed passes and shots result in a rebound, so there is no stoppage of play.

30-second shot clock speeds up the game, increasing reps, transitions and conditioning.

Small goals + big goalies (think hockey) teaches players to fake & finish.

Major focus on pick play, screening, two-man game and three-man game.

Faster recognition, faster decision making, and sharper skills for all positions.

“I believe that box lacrosse gives young people many more opportunities to excel in our game. If I had my choice, I would have every player under the age of twelve play box lacrosse exclusively or at least a majority of the time. The number of touches of the ball and the ability to develop better stick skills in a game of box lacrosse, far surpasses what happens to young people on a 110 x 60 yard field. Learning how to pass and catch in traffic, understanding how to shoot, and developing a sense of physicality are all positive traits developed by the box game.”
