Raptors Youth Lacrosse offers team lacrosse programs for boys and girls in grades K-6th in the Fall and Spring. 

++SPRING SEASON++

Our Spring program incorporates all of the elements of the Fall program, and adds additional games and league play against other area lacrosse programs.  This allows the players to compete locally in a fun environment, which helps solidify the skills they are learning and gives them a positive overall experience.  

Practice Details:
Regular season practices are Tuesday and Thursday evenings beginning in mid February.

Game Details:
Game play for Boys will be through the Mid TN Lacrosse Association, Sunday afternoon double headers in Franklin, March through May
Game play for Girls is usually on Saturday mornings.

Registration:
All players will need to set up an account with Secondslide to register as well as have a valid USA Lacrosse membership.  You can find a short registration tutorial here. 

++INTRO TO LACROSSE CLINICS++
           
If your child is interested in trying lacrosse but has never played, try a free clinic this month! Our coaches will go over stick skills and the basics of lacrosse. No equipment needed.  Held on Saturday at 9am at Woodland Middle School twice monthly!  You can find additional information and registration here.

Current dates:
August 9, 23
September 13, 27
October 4, 18
November 8, 22

++FALL BALL++

Our Fall Ball season is a great opportunity for new players to increase their stick skills and familiarity with the sport, and for returning players to keep their skills sharp in the off season! It is practice only, on Sunday afternoons. We understand that many of our players have other sports commitments in the fall so the once a week weekend practice is designed to avoid scheduling conflicts. Fall Ball will run September 7, 14, 21, and 28.  Sessions will be held at Woodland Middle School on Sundays from 2-4pm.

 Lacrosse Age Group Breakdown (Up to 12U)

USA Lacrosse uses a 12-month age grouping model, meaning players are placed based on their birth year, not school grade. Birthdate is the determining factor for age group placement.

For the 2025–2026 season (September 1, 2025 – August 31, 2026), age groups include:
    •    6U – Players 6 years old and under
    •    8U – Players 8 years old and under
    •    10U – Players 10 years old and under
    •    12U – Players 12 years old and under

These groupings follow USA Lacrosse age guidelines to ensure safe, fair, and developmentally appropriate competition. While graduation year may be referenced as a guide, birth year always determines eligibility
