Lightning Girls
The Tolland Lightning Lacrosse Program is designed to introduce newer players to the sport of lacrosse in a fun environment that focuses on the development of fundamental lacrosse skills and teamwork. We use age appropriate drills and games in an effort to teach players how to scoop through and pick up ground balls, pass, catch and shoot. As our players develop their skills, we scrimmage within our team and play friendly games with other Lightning Programs. There is some travel involved with the Lightning program as we do play games with other Lightning programs in our area.
AGES
Grades K, 1, and 2
*TLC Lightning players are typically in 1st and 2nd grade and fall within the USA Lacrosse 7U & 8U groupings.

It is recommended that parents who are unsure if their child is ready reach out to our club president (contact found under Board of Directors tab) to help make a decision.
