2018..What a great 14th year it was for Boca Jets Lacrosse! We welcomed a lot of new players to our lacrosse community and said goodbye to four "lifers" who will take their skills and love of lacrosse on to high school next year. We are so grateful to all of our families who make the commitment to supporting their players in the love of learning and playing the game of lacrosse.
Little Jets Lacrosse
Little Jets Lacrosse is a program that is tailored made for our youngest children to get them involved in lacrosse and give them an introduction to the game.
The program is geared toward boys and girls ages 4-8. Anyone who has never played before is encouraged to participate in our Little Jets program. It is a fabulous way to learn the fundamentals of the game.
This is a 6 week program that is held on 6 Monday nights starting in September and concludes at the end of October. We will be holding these clinics at Hillsboro EL Rio Boca Raton off of 18th street from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Monday nights.
We are aware that many of you have children already playing in our program and may have siblings that fit this age group. We invite you to share this with your local friends who have children in this age group that are interested in learning more about playing lacrosse.
Little Jets Lacrosse will supply all the equipment needed to play.
