Holliston Youth Lacrosse

Holliston Youth Lacrosse had another very successful season this spring. 

 
Uniquely, success is measured by having fun, getting better and being very active – not wins or losses.

In keeping with the objective of growing the sport (lacrosse is the fastest growing support in the US, with an 18% growth in high school programs last year), Massachusetts youth lacrosse does not keep score or maintain records in any of the town team programs.

Of course, the action is competitive and intense, but the focus is on participating and getting even more to join in – even through 8th grade or high school.

For girls and boys who want to consider starting to play (it is a high scoring spring sport and can be managed opposite the all-dominating Holliston soccer program), there is a top lacrosse camp right here in Holliston this summer. Several of the coaches are from the Northwestern national champion women's team (four-time champions).
