[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD started playing at 4.  She could cradle catch and throw with no problem by nine yrs old.  Luckily she went to a K-8 private that had a lax clinic starting at 3rd and a team by 5th.  You have to send your kid to private to get those advantages.  Its one reason lax is a private school sport.

Get your DDs into clinics as young as possible - most start in K or 1st grade-  through your local rec (Arlington, Fort Hunt, Alexandria, McLean, Bethesda) or, if you live in DC, get your DD to Next Level or Bethesda for scoopers clinics.  Then get her on a rec team (see above) and by 3rd/4th she can try out for. a club team: Stars, MC Elite, Pride are a few of the better organizations with great coaching.

Girls lacrosse is a great sport.  [/quote]

I agree that doing clinics and camps is great for a younger girl to quickly gain skills.  My daughter is a rising freshman and plays competitively and loves it.  When she was younger she did Bethesda rec and then did camps in the summer like the Prep camp, SR camp and several indoor ones at Next Level (good for when it's really hot out!).  By the time she was in 5th grade she was playing on a club team but kept her rec team on the side as well because she got twice the practice.  These days her club schedule and middle school spring team made it not necessary to add rec lacrosse to her life (or ours!) but she would play every day if we let her.

If you're looking for a younger team try MC Elite or Rebels because Pride and Stars don't start until 6th I believe.[/quote]

Stars has started in 5th for several years now and this year they are adding a 3rd/4th grade team.  You still need to play on a school or rec team though for Fall and Spring league play as Stars teams don't join a league until 6th.  The 5th grade team (and soon-to-be 3rd/4th just go to Fall and summer tournaments).
