Youth Teams

Our Youth Program is designed for those players who want to grow their skill set in a more challenging environment by training alongside players from across the Twin Cities Metro area. Coaches will challenge players through age-appropriate drills and skill development. We know our players desire to play with friends on their local MSLax/GNLL association team and have created our practice schedule to minimize potential conflicts.

Players are introduced to leadership and how to be leaders on their association teams by lifting up and bringing out the best in those around them and challenging teammates to be their best. Tournaments for youth are kept to local and regional locations to reduce costs to our families and the potential for conflicts with association play.
