At Spencer Junior Lacrosse we are able to offer:
Note - The Lacrosse Assocation caps the participation of girls playing 'mens' rules to U14 and at the end of this age grouping we encourage our girl players to join local womens' teams - who, sadly, do not currently have junior sections at Spencer.
We also have events for U18/U19 events and encourage maturing players to continue to play in our senior teams.
Details of our progressive programme can be found on our Junior Events Schedules.
As always, juniors players new to the club or new to Lacrosse are very welcome.
Parents please call or email our junior coordinator, Peter Compton so he can give you all the information you need.

For most events players will generally need to wear sports clothing. As with the seniors, most games are played on grass with the occasional game on artificial pitches. Remember to pack spare dry clothing for away games if playing conditions are wet and muddy.
The specific lacrosse equipment of stick, helmet, gloves and padding is provided on a 'loan' basis, payable at the start of the season. The club provided playing shirts for games.
Junior lacrosse in southern England has grown over the past few years with more established clubs running junior programmes working closely with local schools.
The English Lacrosse Association has also encouraged clubs bringing in Local Development Officers (LDO's) to work in the schools and encourage lacrosse as a mixed gender PE activity.
