U11 Lacrosse Program Policy For 2nd Graders Playing Up
The U11 Lacrosse Program is designed specifically for 3rd and 4th-grade players. In limited circumstances, 2nd-grade players may be considered to “play up” in the program under the guidelines outlined below.
2nd-grade players must meet all of the following criteria to be considered:
- Prior lacrosse experience (previous participation in a structured lacrosse program or league).
- Demonstrated skill level appropriate for U11 play.
- Demonstrated maturity, focus, and ability to compete with older players safely.
Playing up is intended for players who are clearly capable of participating successfully at the U11 level. The Recreation Program Director must approve all requests for 2nd graders to play up. It is not automatically available to all interested 2nd graders.
Roster & Participation Guidelines
- The U11 program prioritizes roster spots and game-play opportunities for 3rd and 4th graders.
- If roster numbers reach 18 or more players, consistent game-play opportunities for 2nd graders cannot be guaranteed, particularly in games against other communities.
- In situations where roster size or competitive balance requires it, a 2nd grader may be limited to practice participation only.
The goal of this policy is to maintain a positive, developmentally appropriate experience for all players while ensuring team balance, safety, and fairness.
Overall program considerations and final decisions are at the discretion of the Recreation Program Director.
