Box League
Riptide Box Lacrosse Experience
BOX LACROSSE overview
Originated in Canada, "Box" lacrosse is played in a roller hockey rink 5 vs 5 in addition to a fully padded goalie in a 4' x 4' goal.
The Box Game is fast-paced and physical because it's played in a smaller, enclosed space, requiring players to focus on improving quick stick skills and team passing to succeed.
When played properly, there is a heavy emphasis on various lacrosse concepts: stickwork, finishing, teamwork, physicality and transition.
As these directly translate to the field game, our coaches work with players to develop and enhance the necessary skills to excel throughout all of our programs.
Format
This is an “Academy-style” training league, where the first half of each session will focus on Box skills training and concepts. For the second half of each session, we will split players up into two teams and play a game.
