Ready to give lacrosse a try? Ultimate Lacrosse Charlotte's Intro to Lacrosse Clinics are designed to give young girls a fun, welcoming way to experience the sport and start learning the game.
Open to girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade, the clinics will be offered on September 21 and November 11 at Myers Park Traditional School. Families can choose the date that works best for them. Each clinic runs from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM and costs $35 per player.
No club lacrosse background is needed. The goal is to introduce young athletes to the fundamentals of the game in an environment where they can learn, move, build confidence, and have fun.
Players will get an introduction to the skills that make lacrosse exciting, including stick handling, ground balls, passing, catching, movement, and basic game concepts. Activities can be adapted for younger players and those picking up a lacrosse stick for the first time.
For parents who are curious about lacrosse but aren't ready to commit to a full season or training program, this is an easy place to start. Your daughter gets a 90-minute introduction to the sport and an opportunity to experience the Ultimate Charlotte coaching environment firsthand.
Choose September 21 or November 11, grab a stick, and come see why so many young athletes fall in love with lacrosse.
A: No. This is an Intro to Lacrosse clinic designed to give young players an opportunity to learn the game. It's a great starting point for girls who are curious about lacrosse but haven't played before.

A: Equipment requirements have not been provided yet, so families should check the registration information once it becomes available. This is especially important for first-time players who may not already own a stick, goggles, or other lacrosse equipment.

Ultimate Lehigh Valley Fall 4Square Training | Speed, Agility & Lacrosse Skills
Ultimate Lehigh Valley Fall 4Square Series
Dates: Wednesdays, September 30 through November 11
Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Location: Cedar Crest College Turf
Grades: 4th through 10th
Each Two-Hour Session Includes:
- 1 hour of Speed & Agility with St. Luke's Athletic Training Staff
- 1 hour of Stickwork & Lacrosse Development
Get faster, improve your stick skills, and continue developing your game this fall with Ultimate Lehigh Valley Fall 4Square Training at Cedar Crest College.
Open to girls in 4th through 10th grade, this seven-week training series combines athletic performance training with focused lacrosse development to help players become stronger, faster, and more confident on the field.
Fall 4Square will take place on Wednesday evenings from September 30 through November 11 on the Cedar Crest College Turf, with each two-hour session running from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Each session is split into two focused training blocks. Players receive one hour of speed and agility training with the St. Luke's Athletic Training Staff, followed by one hour of stickwork and lacrosse development with Ultimate Lehigh Valley coaches.
The format gives athletes an opportunity to improve both the physical and technical sides of their game. Speed, acceleration, footwork, balance, and change of direction are critical for creating separation, defending effectively, and competing in transition. Dedicated stickwork gives players the repetitions needed to become more comfortable and confident with the ball under pressure.
For younger athletes, 4Square provides a strong foundation of movement and lacrosse fundamentals. Older players can use the series to sharpen their skills, improve athletic performance, and stay prepared for upcoming school and club seasons.
With seven consecutive weeks of training, athletes have the opportunity to build on their progress each Wednesday.
Join Ultimate Lehigh Valley this fall and put in the work now that can make a difference when competition begins.
A: 4Square dedicates equal time to athletic development and individual lacrosse skills. Players get a full hour focused on speed and agility followed by a full hour of stickwork, giving them more concentrated individual development than they typically receive during team practices.
A: The athletic training portion focuses on speed and agility, helping players become quicker and more efficient movers. Those skills can translate directly to dodging, defending, transition play, and competing for ground balls.
A: Yes. Fall 4Square is open to girls in grades 4 through 10. Training can challenge experienced players while giving younger athletes the repetitions and fundamentals they need to continue building their game.

Open to girls in 2nd through 10th grade, this eight-week training series combines athletic performance work with lacrosse-specific skill development to give players a complete offseason training experience.
Fall 4Square will take place on Tuesday evenings from September 8 through October 27, with each 90-minute session running from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at Germantown Academy.
What makes 4Square different is how each session is divided. Players receive 45 minutes of speed and agility training with Parisi Speed School, focusing on the movement skills that translate directly to the lacrosse field. The remaining 45 minutes are dedicated to stickwork and lacrosse development, giving athletes consistent repetitions and focused coaching from the Ultimate staff.
The combination helps players develop both sides of their game. Speed, acceleration, footwork, balance, and change of direction can make athletes more effective on the field, while dedicated stickwork helps build the confidence and consistency needed to execute those movements with the ball in their stick.
For younger players, 4Square provides an opportunity to establish strong fundamentals and athletic habits. More experienced players can use the series to refine their technique, increase their speed, and stay sharp throughout the fall.
With eight consecutive weeks of training, players have the opportunity to build on what they learn rather than relying on a single clinic or training session.
Join Ultimate Pennsylvania this fall and put in the work that can make a difference when the next season begins.
A: Team practices have to cover systems, plays, and team preparation. 4Square gives players dedicated time to work specifically on their athleticism and individual stick skills, with half of every session devoted to each.

For Class of 2027 lacrosse players, the traditional club schedule may be winding down, but development does not have to stop.
Ultimate Minnesota is launching the Ultimate MN Alumni 2027 Team, a dedicated training and competition program designed to help 2027 players continue developing their game and preparing for what comes next.
The team will bring together ALL 2027s from Any Program, with the opportunity to include other Class of 2027 players who currently do not have a consistent place to train and compete.
Players will train twice per week throughout the fall, winter, and summer, providing the consistency needed to continue building skills, athleticism, and game readiness. The program will also feature dedicated speed training with Antwan Walker, helping athletes improve the movement, explosiveness, and conditioning needed to compete at the next level.
Competition will continue throughout the year. The team plans to attend one Fall/Winter tournament, either Presidents Cup or Sandstorm, compete in a Winter 6v6 League, and participate in local summer scrimmages. An additional summer tournament may also be added based on player interest.
The goal is simple: give 2027 players a place to keep getting better.
Instead of losing access to consistent training during an important stage of their development, players can continue working alongside motivated teammates while preparing for their senior seasons and future collegiate opportunities.
Interested players and families can contact Peter at peter@ultimategoallacrosse.com for additional information.
A: In Minnesota, there are fewer consistent club training opportunities after the summer following junior year. This program fills that gap so 2027 players can continue developing and competing as they prepare for college or their final high school season.
A: No. The program is designed for Class of 2027 athletes who want to continue serious training and competition. That can include committed college players as well as players who are still working toward their next opportunity.
A: Not necessarily. The team is being built around former Ultimate MN and Team MN 2027 players, but Ultimate plans to open opportunities to other 2027 athletes who currently do not have a place to consistently train and compete.
A: The transition to college lacrosse comes with faster play, stronger athletes, and higher expectations. Consistent training and competition can help players maintain their skills, conditioning, decision-making, and game readiness instead of going through a long development gap before arriving on campus.
