Stick School

Recrational, Non-contact, Coed Lacrosse Promoting Fun, Fitness and Fundamentals
Stick School is a Recreational, Coed Non-Contact Lacrosse program for 1st-8th grade students. We currently offer camps and courses through East Bay Schools, The YMCA and City Recreation Departments. Unlike traditional sport leagues focusing on winning or losing, our program focuses on learning and improving. We realize that while contact is a key element of the sport, it may not always be the best method for teaching. Stick School is based on recreation style games and a Reward Program designed to instill knowledge and confidence. Our expert instructors promote the physical, emotional and mental growth of each participant in a safe enjoyable environment. Stick School LLC provides all equipment & instruction necessary for a child to develop his/her stick skills. Our goal is to provide a stepping stone to club lacrosse which in turn will assist in the growth of this great sport.
