Girls Lacrosse

Knox Youth Sports Girl’s Lacrosse is an at-large middle and elementary school program for girls that do not have lacrosse at their schools for their age groups. It appeals to girls from all sports backgrounds and their families. It’s fun to watch and even more fun to play. Current participants have played and continue to play basketball, soccer, volleyball, swimming, track, dance, tumbling, cross country, and a host of other sports. We are very blessed that the girls really seem to enjoy playing with each other, treat each other very well, and that there are so many enthusiastic families. Girls tend to get comfortable with each other quickly in our program.

Any girl who wants to try lacrosse for the first time is welcome to up to 2 free practices to see if she likes the sport before committing.

Coaches in both age groups are very enthusiastic and love the game. They are all volunteers and most have children playing on our teams. Coaches have played before at various levels, attend conventions/clinics, and have certifications up to Level 2 US Lacrosse Coaching Certification. All our coaches have the same goals for the girls; fun, safety, sportsmanship, skill development, personal responsibility, and long term involvement.

Girls will leave the KYS program able to play the game and taught how to play it right. Most girls end up sticking with it into high school. If girls come to practice, they will play in games. Parent participation is very welcome.
