Boys 12U (travel $225 and non-travel $50)

12U lacrosse is where BMLA has typically introduced the travel option.  The emphasis at this age group is building and honing technical skills, as well as begin building the tactical skills needed in lacrosse.  Developing stick skills with the use of both hands becomes a focus, and position specific training is increased.  Play will focus more on using technical skills in game situations and exploring and applying new tactical skills.

Play of the game occurs in one of two ways: on a regulation size lacrosse field, with 10 players each side or on a cross-field, with 7 players each side.  Full equipment is required, and limited stick checking and some body contact is allowed.  Body checking and one-handed stick checks are not allowed.

Practices will most likely be 2-3 times per week, with specific days and times set by the coaching staff.  All 12U level participants will practice together.

·        Non-travel participants, an intramural jamboree will be put together towards the end of the season to provide game opportunities.

·        Travel participants, 5-6 travel weekends of game jamborees will occur during the spring, from late April until early June.

·        If there are enough total 12U participants, BMLA may try and establish a 7v7 intramural league and provide weekly game opportunities.
