New Parents & Players

Welcome to the Fastest Game on Two Feet!

There's a moment that happens in lacrosse that you won't find anywhere else - that instant when a player who once could barely catch the ball suddenly threads a perfect pass to their teammate, and their whole face lights up with newfound confidence. That's the magic we get to witness every day at Crawdad Lacrosse.

Whether your child has never held a stick or is already dreaming of their first goal, you're in exactly the right place. Lacrosse combines the defensive footwork of basketball, the strategic field play of soccer, and the hand-eye coordination of baseball into a unique sport that challenges both body and mind. But here's what makes it truly special - every player, no matter their size or athletic background, can find their perfect role on the field.

What to Expect:

  • A welcoming community where every new player is celebrated
  • Step-by-step skill development tailored to each child's pace
  • Focus on fundamentals that build confidence naturally
  • Experienced coaches who remember their own first days with a stick
  • A family atmosphere where questions are encouraged and growth is celebrated

Your child will learn:

  • Core skills like catching, throwing, and cradling
  • Team concepts that translate to all areas of life
  • Strategic thinking and field awareness
  • The joy of being part of something bigger than themselves
