About Pathfinders

Pathfinders our 1st - 3rd grade boys' program, which is run primarily in clinic format to encourage learning of basic skills and fundamentals through fun drills. Teams will be organized for game play following the first few sessions.

Team assignments may change from week to week.
1st graders will play mostly 3v3* 
2nd graders will play mostly 4v4 
3rd graders will play mostly 5v5 

*The Pathfinders group typically begins in 1st grade.  Players who are in Kindergarten and meet the U.S. Lacrosse 6U age requirement (born before Aug 31, 2014) are considered on a case-by-case basis. 

All games will be played on a short field to maximize touches and increase stick skills and decision-making.
1st graders may play with some 2nd graders and 2nd graders may play with some 3rd graders.  
1st and 3rd graders will not be grouped together.

All players registered in the Pathfinders will be able to join Geronimo pick-up at a reduced rate! 

The season will start at the end of spring break and run for 9 weeks.  Practices will run from 9:15-10:45 on Saturday mornings.  One exception will be on VGF weekend.
