A PLACE TO LEARN, GROW, AND PLAY

From first sticks to competitive youth lacrosse, FMLA gives boys a place to learn, grow and compete.

LEARN THE GAME. BUILD YOUR SKILLS. PLAY TOGETHER.


FMLA offers youth boys' lacrosse programs from kindergarten through 8th grade, with age-appropriate opportunities for players at every experience level. Whether your player is picking up a stick for the first time or has been playing for years, they'll learn the fundamentals, develop their skills and grow as part of a team.

WHO

The youth program is separated into five separate age groupings: 

Kindergarten - 2nd grade 

3rd - 4th grade 

5th - 6th grade 

7th - 8th grade 

High School 

 

Programs available to players will be based primarily on their grade, but the player's birthday and USA Lacrosse's age brackets will override in some cases for players who are older than most of the other children in their grade. 

*Age Guidelines can be found on the USA Lacrosse Website 

WHERE

Our home fields are located in Flower Mound and Lantana. We have fields dedicated for lacrosse in 3 primary locations: 

  • Bakersfield Park 
  • Gerault Park (Flower Mound CAC)
  • Lantana Community Church


We may also utilize the Chinn Chapel Soccer Complex for some home games. 


Youth teams travel to other communities in the DFW Metroplex, like McKinney and Keller, for away games.  We make every effort to schedule multiple teams on all away game days.

WHEN IS LACROSSE SEASON

The youth program is broken into two seasons, spring and fall.


The spring season (Feb-Apr) is our competitive season, with games weekly.


The fall season (Sep-Nov) is primarily developmental. In the fall, teams may have some weekend events, but do not have games every weekend.


We encourage our players to attend our summer skill-development programming, but we do not offer team play in the summer.

WHEN ARE PRACTICES

Practice times and locations are dependent on field and coach availability. Specific information will be released at the start of each season. 


Our youth teams practice on weeknights. A typical practice load will vary based on the player's age as follows: 

  • K - 2nd - 2/week for 1 hour 
  • 3rd - 4th - 2/week for 1.5 hour 
  • 5th - 6th - 2/week for 2 hours 
  • 7th - 8th - 2/week for 2 hours 


We offer additional materials to players who are participating in their schools' external PE programs to meet the minimum requirements for practice time for those programs. Contact us to learn more about external PE options.


GAMES

The number of games will depend on the age group.


Typically in the fall season we play a minimum of 8 games which includes 2 tournaments and several "play days".


In the spring, teams can expect to play 8-12 games, depending on the age group.

 

Youth teams generally play games on weekends. We do our best to avoid scheduling games on Sunday mornings. No games will be played on Spring Break weekends or on Easter Sunday.
