It's one of the fastest growing sports in the nation, and once you attend your first game, it's easy to see why! Described as the fastest ball game on two feet, lacrosse builds endurance, speed, and agility, plus it’s fun!
GWA now has an opportunity for players who have never played to try lacrosse in the off season. Experienced players will work on their skills with plenty of time for both offense and defense development on a shorter field.
CLINICS
GWA is partnering with Approach Lacrosse Academy to offer seven FREE skills clinics to boys and girls in first to eighth grades. No experience is necessary and sticks and soft practice balls are provided. We are pleased to be working with the highly experienced Coach Mitch and his team! See above for more details and sign up by calling Coach Katie Downey at 678-725-1015.
GAMES
Games will be played in and around Gwinnett County on Sundays. The season runs Sept. 9-Oct. 28 with practices starting the week of Sept. 3. Practices will be held one night per week at Bay Creek Park.
Players will receive a reversible pinnie and will provide their own black athletic shorts, socks, cleats, safety equipment and stick. Equipment rentals are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Equipment page here: http://www.gaasports.org/index.php/lacrosse/equipment/
