WINTER TRAINING SCHEDULE

In collaboration with our Somerville High School lacrosse coaches, we are excited to announce the inaugural offering of our "Junior Pioneers Winter Training Program." We have extended consideration to our membership by supporting developmental opportunities for boys and girls lacrosse players of varying ages. With Coach Jamie Lovejoy (SHS Boys Head Coach) and Coach Kelly Connolly (SHS Girls Head Coach) overseeing all aspects of instruction and development, we are confident that players will benefit from the experience and be better prepared for the 2020 spring season!
