Free “Try Lacrosse” Clinics

Olympia/Thurston Lacrosse Club Invites Local Youth to Free ‘Try Lacrosse’ Clinics

Families in Thurston County will soon have the chance to see why lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. The Olympia/Thurston Lacrosse Club (OTLC) is hosting two free “try lacrosse” clinics for new players on Sunday, November 9 and Sunday, December 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Olympia High School Auxiliary Field.

The clinics are designed for boys in grades 2–12 and girls in grades 2–6 who are new to the game. Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of lacrosse through fun activities and guided instruction from OTLC coaches and high school players. All equipment will be provided.

Founded more than a decade ago, OTLC now fields teams for boys and girls ranging from kindergarten through high school. The club schedules its season in the spring, allowing young athletes to stay involved in other sports like fall football or winter basketball without conflict.

To lower barriers for new players, OTLC also offers a gear loan program that provides season-long access to sticks, pads, and helmets for just $50. A scholarship fund is available to assist families with registration costs.
