Summer League
Athena Lacrosse offers a dynamic and engaging Summer League for players of all levels.
Our Summer League is designed to provide players with the opportunity to develop their skills and compete in a fun and supportive environment.
Summer League is divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. This allows players to compete at a level that is appropriate for their skills and experience. Our coaches provide personalized instruction and support to ensure that each player is challenged and supported in their development.

Our League is structured like a weekly practice, taking place on Wednesdays. During these sessions, players learn a variety of skills, including stick skills, lacrosse IQ, and position-specific skills. Our coaches use a variety of drills and activities to keep players engaged and motivated, while also promoting teamwork and sportsmanship.
The Athena Lacrosse Summer League is a great way for players to stay active and engaged during the summer months, while also building their skills and confidence on the field.
