Box Lacrosse Highlights
Train + Play Format
Each 90-minute session combines box-specific drills with live, full-speed gameplay. Players develop quick reactions, precision passing, and tighter control in game-like settings.
Early Emphasis on Learning Box
The first few sessions focus more on box training concepts — spacing, movement off-ball, picks, 2 man game, and transitions — while maintaining 40+ minutes of game time.
Box Lacrosse At Its Core
All sessions take place outdoors at The Rink at Jackson, providing the authentic box environment without walls or turf limitations. Fast, physical, and fun.
Box Equipment
Field equipment and Box Rib guards are mandatory for all players to play. Bicep pads & box helmets are optional. Players have the option to purchase box jerseys, but all players must bring a reversible pinny with a number on it OR light/dark box jerseys.
Who Is Box Lacrosse For?
This program is for boys in grades 5–12 who want to improve stick skills, reaction speed, and lacrosse IQ through high-intensity box play. Whether you’re new to box or already experienced, NJLT Box Lacrosse will elevate your game in every aspect.
Why Choose Box Lacrosse?
Players join box lacrosse to build speed, toughness, and precision in a fast-paced, high-rep environment. Every touch, pass, and dodge happens under pressure — creating smarter, more confident players.
