Box lacrosse is a different style of lacrosse that requires a new development of useful skills that will benefit your athlete when they return to field lacrosse. We bring in a unique and fantastic coaching staff of players who all currently play box lacrosse at the Professional level (NLL), Senior level (MSL), Junior level (OJLL), International level (IBLC, EBLC), and Club level (HVBLL) to assist in the development of your player.

We use state of the art and constantly updated drills, situational scenarios, skill development, and gameplay to help your athlete improve their game and lacrosse IQ. All of these currently taught at the highest level and at the disposal of our coaching staff.  Many programs rely on out of date teaching and repetitive demonstrations. We pride ourselves on the ability to constantly update our teaching and coaching styles with the current game.

We do not associate with any field club programs. We have players from 14+ club programs and 5 different states representing our program.

Practices will be held in Rockland County, NY from the middle of October until the weather no longer permits us to practice outdoors.

Schedules have been made for the upcoming season and will be available at tryouts.

We understand some families have prior engagements and conflicts with their tryout date. We ask that you still register your athlete. If you are unable to attend, we do allow athletes to attend 2 practices early in the season with their selected age group(if spots are available), where they can be evaluated and determine their placement in the program.

At 845 Box Lacrosse Club, we don't try to set and meet a number of required practices. Our job is to maximize your players experience and enjoyment of the sport of box lacrosse while creating a competitive and fun environment for our players. We set a minimum number of practices at 8 and hope to push as far as we can into the elements while still practicing on the only rinks we have available which are outdoors. We don't see any benefit from practicing on indoor turf as it does not replicate gamelike situations. Boards are required for the full box experience.

You can expect your schedule to look something like this:

Start: Middle October

Finish: Late January/Early February

Tournaments: 3 (2 for Peewee and Novice Group)

Practices: 8-12

Bantam, Midget, and Junior: $1549

Goalies: $500

Peewee and Novice: TBD

We provide all of our goalies with the proper and safest gear available to play box lacrosse. Goalies are just required to provide their own helmet, sticks, and cup.

Goalies also receive a major discount at registration. Please inform us as soon as possible if interested in playing goalie as we order our gear direct from Canada. Shipping can take up to 6-8 weeks.
