  • Games: Tournament style games on Sundays in October
  • Focus: The fall season often serves as a developmental period where players can hone their skills, stay in shape, and enjoy the sport in a less competitive environment. Teams are generally less structured, allowing for more flexibility and experimentation with positions and strategies.

Spring Lacrosse:

  • Type: Official High School Season
  • Formality: Formal GHSA (official season)
  • Schedule: Runs from February through April
  • Focus: The spring season is the primary competitive period for lacrosse. It includes more rigorous practice schedules and regular games. Teams are more structured, with defined roles and positions, and the focus is on achieving peak performance and success in the sport.
