Each session will consist of 30 minutes of instruction and skill work and 30 minutes of a freestyle style of game play.

What makes Fiddle Lacrosse different than traditional field lacrosse?

  • Players will not wear pads (there will be strict rules against stick and body checking)
  • The goals will be half the size of a traditional field goal
  • A smaller and softer ball will be used to help with skill development
  • The offensive team will have 4 players while the defensive team will have 3 players plus their goalie
    • This creates a transition opportunity that favors the offense thus giving the offensive team more opportunities to score
  • Players will be able to play without the fear of being checked/hit
  • Players will be able to play with a clear mind and have fun
  • There are no “HARD” shots allowed, which encourages players looking for higher percentage shots, and focus on accuracy as opposed to power

Instruction and skill work will consist of

  • Passing
  • Catching
  • Shooting
  • Groundballs
  • Dodging
  • Defense
  • Transition Play

Fiddle games will consist of

  • 3 youth players and 1 High School Player on the field
  • All players will play offense, and while on defense the High School player will be the team’s goalie
  • Teams will be encouraged to shoot early and often during possessions
  • Passing and cutting will be encouraged on offense as opposed to one player dodging
