Spring 2012 Season
Team assignments for the spring as well as practice
days and times will be communicated by March 14th. The season will start
on March 26th and run through May 19th.
1 / 2 Program
Our 1 / 2 Program over
the last 4 years, since its introduction, will not be much different. The
clinic-like style of this program has been very successful allowing the children
to move quickly through a series of drill stations, participating with their teams,
mostly, learning the basics of the game, while having quite a bit of fun.
As in the previous years, focus on the safety of the game is critical, and several
weeks of the game basics, drills through stations will be the focus before the girls
will be ready for any intra-league scrimmages, outside the program games and any
play dates. Last year, the 1 / 2 girls were able to participate in 2 outside
the program games, a big play date "tournament" in Wissahickon, PA and
several games against the other URA 1 / 2 teams. All gameplay at this level
is not played with a goalie and is seven vs. seven (two homes, two wings, a center
and two points). A great introduction program for first and second graders.
Cost $125.00
3 / 4 Program
Our 3 / 4 Program as with
all of our programs, continues to build on the foundation and the basic skills of
the womens lacrosse game. Teams are more independent then they are at the
1 / 2 Program and have games, typically, every Saturday. Games are traditionally
split between outside programs and playing against other URA 3 / 4 Program teams.
Last year, many of our 3 / 4 program participants also got to play in the Gumball
Rally Tournament near the end of the season - played under the lights in the King
of Prussia area. Practices have been held at the Upland Day School Facilities
on the lower athletic fields just past the New Bolton Center off Byrd Road in Kennett
Square. Practice times may vary a bit depending on the coaches but the days
will, most likely, stay on Monday and Wednesday each week. Practices during
the week are typically 1.25 to 1.5 hours.
Cost $150.00
5 / 6 Program
Our 5 / 6 Program begins
the program division based on PAGLA's "A", "B" and "C"
system. We do have girls play at this level that have never played before
- so please note that if you daughter has not played the game before, that is fine!
Games are typically every Saturday but an ocassional week night game may need to
be played if there a make up game due to weather or other reasons. Practices
have been on the Unionville Middle or High School fields during the week and run
approximately 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the coach and level of team.
Cost $150.00 + applicable uniform costs (jersey & kilt required for 5th grade)
7 / 8 Program
Based on the 5 / 6 Program
& PAGLA "A", "B" and "C" system. Games are
typically played on Saturday but once again, there may be a need for a week night
game. Practices for this group will vary depending on the coach and level
of the team. Practices have been on the Unionville Middle School or High School
fields during the week and run approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
Cost $150.00 + applicable uniform costs (jersey & kilt if needed)
Team Assignments
Although we do not take requests, during team formation we do take into
consideration grouping children outside the immediate Unionville / Kennett
Square area on the same team for carpooling reasons. If your family lives
inside of the Unionville or Kennett Square School, please do not submit team or
grouping requests for your player.
With all of our programs, once teams have been finalized in February, coaches will
contact you regarding practice times and locations. The coach will also be
responsible for maintaining good contact information so that game times, locations,
practice changes due to weather or field conditions etc, can be communicated with
you each week. Please make sure that if any contact information changes from
what was in the original registration information, to contact your coach(es) and
let them know so you do not miss any important information. Follow us on Twitter
(top right corner of the webpage) to get breaking alerts as well.

insurance, paint, official fee amoung other costs
