Boys Stingers

The Stingers program is open to Boys in 1st and 2nd grade looking to learn the basic skills of lacrosse through practice and game play. BBH Stingers follows the USA Lacrosse program for 8U. Players are fully padded, and the games are 4 vs 4, with no goalies, no face offs, limited body contact and limited stick checking. Our program emphasizes development and fun, allowing everyone interested to get exposed to the sport.

We need help from parents to coach! Please don't worry that you never played or don't know anything about lacrosse! All of our programs are made up of volunteers. Most of our coaches started with minimal knowledge of the game and learned form others. The program will provide you with numerous resources to educate and orient you to the game. This will include mentorship from coaches from our older programs, assistance from High School players, and practice plans with drills that we have ran before that will help to teach fundamentals.

We working to determine the exact days for practices and games. The schedule would include an hour during the week and an hour and a half to two hours on a weekend day. Both days will have practice elements and we will have games on the weekend. Games will be intrasquad and internal to just the Stingers program, with teams created on gameday. Our coaches also work with some of our other teams so schedules may shift a day or so one week to the next during the season if there are conflicts with the other teams

If at some point other clubs in Northeast Ohio have teams in this age group, we can schedule games against them. We would like to have High School Players referee games, if possible.

The registration fee is $100 per player, including a pinnie, player insurance, field fees, and field equipment (balls, goals, etc.).

Since this program is fully padded, each player is required to obtain equipment at their own cost. Please access the Resources Tab on this website and review the Equipment Guide. The main equipment will consist of a stick, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads and gloves. You can purchase used or new equipment. Additionally, various retailers offer full gear kits. We can potentially work with you and selected retailers to see if we can get a bulk deal on new equipment kits. Additional equipment would include a mouth guard, an athletic supporter and cup, and cleats.
