About our Boys Program
The Stonington Bears Youth Lacrosse program is designed to help each player reach their potential as an athlete and lacrosse player. Having fun while learning to play the “fastest game on two feet” is of the utmost importance. SBYL places emphasis on skill development at all levels. As a player moves through the SBYL program they will be taught the game of lacrosse in a fun and supportive environment. The program curriculum has been designed to maximize the skill development of players at each respective level in a progressive fashion. We endeavor to create a continuity of experience between coaches and age groups. The focus of all of our teams is to encourage growth and development.
