FALL BALL

Boulder Valley Lacrosse runs our annual Fall Ball program on Sundays in September and October. BVL Fall Ball provides opportunities for beginning, intermediate, and advanced boys players to continue their skill development under the direction of experienced BVL coaches.  We strongly recommend participation in Fall Ball for all players interested in playing for BVL during our primary spring season. 

We will again provide 2 options for BVL Fall Ball: our traditional Sunday Skills program at Manhattan Middle School, and our "SLV Fall League" option which includes home and away games organized by Summit Lacrosse Ventures.

Boys of all experience levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) in grades 1-8.

New and inexperienced players are specifically encouraged to register for the Sunday Skills program. We will assign them to the appropriate group for their grade and experience level.

We take pride in preparing players to ascend to the high school level. Check out our College Commitments page to learn more.

Manhattan Middle School lacrosse fields, 290 Manhattan Drive, Boulder
