YOUTH BOYS

3RD - 4TH GRADE

NELC's goal for our 3rd and 4th grade players is to help each player reach their full lacrosse potential in a fun and exciting environment. The 3rd and 4th grade team will focus on basic skill development, building lacrosse IQ, teamwork and sportsmanship.

COACHING

The NELC has a goal to provide every child the opportunity to play lacrosse. We rely on volunteer coaches to make that happen. If you are willing to help, please click below. We have a training program for new coaches, so no lacrosse experience is necessary.

SEASONS

NELC offers a fall and spring season. Our fall season runs from September through November and our spring season runs from January through May. See our schedule page for more information.

SCHEDULE

PRACTICES

3rd-4th grade players attend one weekly 75-minute practice in the fall and two weekly 75-minute practices in the spring. Practice times and location will be sent out to your player by each team's volunteer coach.

GAMES

3rd-4th grade game play will consist of 7 total players per team (2 attack, 2 midfielders, 2 defensive players and a goalie). Games will consist of two 22-minute running time halves, with a 5-minute halftime period.

The fall season games are played during a single two-day fall tournament usually held in Fort Walton Beach in early November. The tournament includes 2-3 games of pool play on Saturday and 1-3 games of single elimination play on Sunday.

The spring season games are played during several one-day jamborees generally held on Saturdays between Panama City and Mobile. The jamborees include 2 games for each team.

TOURNAMENTS

Our Tournaments consist of 2 games per team. The league typically tries to plan the games with only an hour in between. For example, a team might have 10 am and 12 noon games. That means the player arrives at 9 am, plays from 10 am-10:45 am, has a break until warmup at 11:45 am, plays the second game from 12 noon-12:45 pm, and is free to leave or stay and watch other teams. Tournament games can start as early as 8 am or as late as 6 pm.

UNIFORMS

The uniform store will open August 28th - September 1st for uniform purchasing. There might be an opportunity to try on sample sizes that week. Uniforms are ordered through the company directly, so there may be shipping fees as applicable.

Required uniform items for the spring season include (Girls) reversible tops and shorts. (Boys) two tops and shorts. Only Boys need pads, cups, and gloves.

Goalie helmet for $330 available. Email treasurer@nicevillelax.com
