HEADWATERS PROGRAMS

Headwaters Lacrosse provides lacrosse opportunities for Gallatin Valley youth to play throughout the year.  From competitive spring seasons to learn-to-play events, we’ve got the fit for those who want to reach the upper level of play, or those just looking for a great way to have fun on a team.  

Fall:  The Fall Ball program typically runs 6-8 weeks in length.  Non-competitive, and non-travel, Fall Ball is all about skill building, staying in shape and having fun.  It’s a perfect place for returning players to keep and build on skills they’ve already learned, as well as for new players to learn the game in a non-competitive environment.  

Spring:  Spring is the main competitive season for lacrosse in Montana. The Spring program is a travel league for 3rd – 8th grade and runs from March through May/June. Our K-2 is considered a home program and does not travel but may scrimmage when there are home game weekends.

Summer:  Currently, Headwaters does not offer a summer program, however, Headwaters Lacrosse may provide parents with information about non-Headwaters sanctioned opportunities as we learn about them. From regional summer camps and clinics to competitive summer travel clubs. 

 

SCHEDULE

Lacrosse competition in Montana ranges between members of the Montana Youth Lacrosse Association (MYLA) members and other clubs throughout the Northern Rockies.  

Games are usually held on Saturdays, with teams playing several games in a day.  The schedule and travel expectations and schedules are clearly outlined prior to the season if possible.
