Box Lacrosse is coming to the North Shore this winter! Played indoors in a hockey rink-sized arena, box lacrosse is a fast-paced, high-scoring 6-on-6 game that builds quick decision-making, precise stick skills, and toughness. The confined space and constant action accelerate skill development, improving field vision and ball control that directly enhance field lacrosse performance.

Many top college and pro players credit box lacrosse for their creativity, quick thinking, and advanced stick work giving them a clear edge on the field.

Kougarz Box Lacrosse (team website) was founded by Coach Derek Yannone, a St. John’s Prep and Endicott College alum who has coached with the Faceoff Factory, St. Anselm’s College, and St. John’s Prep.

Kougarz will field two teams (5th–6th grade and 7th–8th grade). Tryouts are Sunday, Nov. 16, 2:30–4:30 PM at Danvers Indoor Sports (register here!). Practices run Sundays, 2–3:30 PM, December–mid-February at the same location. Teams will compete in two tournaments:

• Connecticut Box Championships — Jan 17–18
• Connecticut Indoor — Feb 14–15
