WWLC facilitates year-round lacrosse programs for girls in grades K-6 as well as supports and sponsors both Webster School programs in grades 7-12. Programs range from sports introduction, to skill building, to tournament play for the more experienced player. WWLC also sponsors fall and summer tournament teams and hosts the Seaway Classic every fall, a very popular event that includes some of the finest women's lacrosse teams from upstate New York.
Spring Season:
This is our flagship program designed for girls in grades K-6 at all skill levels. The season run from mid-March to late May. This includes 2-3 practices per week, 6-7 game days and 2 tournaments. Additional opportunities for play dates may be established. The focus is individual skill development, team play, introduction to the sport, sportsmanship, and most importantly - fun for the girls! Girls will play 7 v 7 games at the 1/2 and 3/4 levels, and 12 v 12 games at the 5/6 level with a focus on learning the fundamentals of the sport in a fun atmosphere. Kindergarteners will practice as a unit and focus only on fundamentals playing 3 v 3 short-sided games.
Summer Tournament Extension Team:
Summer tournament team extensions are offered to grades 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6. The WWLC Tournament Team is an opportunity to play in a competitive tournament setting upon the completion of our spring season. This program is open to players with a minimum of one season of lacrosse experience or equivalent (a season is defined as full participation in a fall or spring session - current spring season DOES count). The goal of the program is to enhance player development by introducing and increasing the competitive nature of the game. WWLC hires collegiate coaches and players (Webster Alumni) to act as head coaches for these teams, versus having parents as coaches.
Summer Camp:
Webster Schroeder and Webster Thomas coaches and players will offer a youth summer camp during July. The four day camp runs from 9-11:30 and is great way to spend learn from exceptional varsity coaches and players.
Fall Ball:
Fall ball is a great way to keep the stick in your hands and get some runs in while still allowing time for all the other sports and activities Webster offers. This six week session runs during September and October and includes our very own Seaway Classic tournament. Another great way for girls of all skills to have some fun!
Fall Tournament Extension:
This program is a similar to our Summer Tournament extension. The WWLC Tournament Team is an opportunity to play in a competitive tournament setting upon the completion of our fall season. This program is open to players with a minimum of one season of lacrosse experience or equivalent (a season is defined as full participation in a fall or spring session). The goal of the program is to enhance player development by introducing and increasing the competitive nature of the game.
Winter Training Sessions:
We offer multiple winter training sessions for those looking to keep their skills sharp and also for those who want to try this great sport. For newer players, the multiweek sessions introduce girls in grades K-6th to the sport. We focus on the basics, provide an environment for newer players to learn and have fun without the intimidation of those who have been playing for some time. More experienced players participate in advanced drills and scrimmages as they prepare for the spring season.
