Minnetonka Lacrosse operates three lacrosse seasons:
In addition, we offer an 8U boys' lacrosse in-house program in May and June and a 6U Co-Ed lacrosse clinic. Find more information about both on this page.
Our 6U co-ed lacrosse clinics offer even the littlest Skippers the chance to start learning the game early. These clinics do not require pads, and we provide a stick with your registration. With gamified drills and fun general athletic activities, your child will start to learn the basics of this amazing sport.
For more information on our 6U Co-Ed Clinics, check out our 6U Co-Ed Lacrosse webpage.
Our 8U in-house boys' lacrosse offering typically runs from early May through the end of June. Our 8Us practice one or two nights a week, typically at Manor Park and Badger Park, both in Shorewood. When appropriate, and with assistance from parents, we will schedule scrimmages with 8U teams from other local lacrosse associations (e.g., Wayzata, Chaska/Chan). In addition, our 8Us have the opportunity to scrimmage on Einer Anderson Stadium at MHS during half-time at a Skippers boys' varsity lacrosse half time.
Why do we run our 8U program in-house? Because it means you don't have to go out and buy a lacrosse helmet and compliant lacrosse shoulder pads just to try lacrosse! Your child can wear an old hockey helmet and shoulder pads. We'll even include a lacrosse stick in your registration if you want!
