Welcome to Bedrock Lacrosse, a foundational program for bringing the game of lacrosse into new communities and promoting local interests in partnership with existing programs. Our core mission drives us to match level of play to community identity in order to make our sport more accessible. Check out some of our programs or view or core model below!
Core Bedrock Model
Our model of lacrosse emphasizes adapting style of play to athlete age and community size during the traditional spring season. Below are our general guidelines for age level – most advanced play style (and size limited backups) and additional high level details.
General progression in a larger area may see a player start with 5v5, learn about positioning in 8v8, and graduate to full field rules by Middle School or High School should program size be large enough. In smaller or newer lacrosse communities, younger players may learn the game through other smaller sided variants like 3v3 or 4v4 that prioritize more localized teams and therefore more time on the field with less travel. Those players may graduate to a gameplay version that may play 8v8 or sixes (6v6) rather than 10v10 if it means being able to play for your local area rather than playing under a co-op.
