Somers U12 Junior Boys
The Junior boys team allows players in grades 5 & 6 to play in this division. We welcome both returning and new players to Somers Lacrosse! We ask parents and players to attend a mandatory season kickoff meeting before the first practice. Additional season details will be shared at the kickoff meeting.
Ages
This program is for boys in grades 5 and 6. There is no requirement that you have played lacrosse before.
When
The season will begin in late March and run through early/mid June.
Where
Practices and home games are held at Firehouse Fields and Mabelle B. Avery middle school. Away games may be played in towns throughout Central CT and Western MA.
Practices
Practices are typically held 2-3 days per week, rarely on weekends. Teams tend to practice more often prior to games commencing.
Games
Teams will play 10-15 games over the course of the season, both here in Somers, as well as surrounding towns. Each team will play 1-2 games per week, with most games taking place on weekdays.
uniforms
Every player is required to have a reversible jersey and shorts for the season. New players must purchase a complete uniform. Returning players have the option to wear their uniform from last season or to purchase new gear as needed. Uniform sizing can be found below:
PAUL BOWERS MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT
The 37th annual Paul Bowers Memorial Tournament will be held in Somers on June 1st and 2nd. This is our one-and-only fundraiser, and we ask each family to volunteer 2-3 hours (per athlete) to help ensure the tournament's continued success!
