FAQ

  • Is GLOW Just for Beginners?

    Not at all.

    Some girls join GLOW because they're picking up a lacrosse stick for the very first time. Others come looking for extra reps, more confidence, and a place to work on their game outside of town and club lacrosse.

    Sometimes she simply needs great coaching, meaningful instruction, and a place to practice without the pressure and comparison that often come with youth sports.

  • GLOW is a clinic-based model, which means we provide a flexible training format (seasonally), where players select class packages or individual sessions—without committing to a full team season.

    GLOW is also a great place to try the game, see if you love it, and figure out how competitive you want to be. We guide families who are new to lacrosse and provide a clear roadmap to help players succeed. It’s especially valuable for girls starting later who may not know where to begin.

    GLOW is not a club — it’s where players prepare for one.

    A club model is team-based, requires tryouts and a full-season commitment, and focuses on competition and tournaments.

  • The answer, is NO!

    We are town agnostic. You do not need to be a resident of the town where the clinic is located. (We structured GLOW this way for more optionality for busy families, while also promoting inclusion, adaptability, and making new friends)!

    • There are no upfront fees

    • Pay-per-clinic.

    • Flexible Scheduling (we understand busy schedules and multi-sport athlete calendars. You can register for a clinic package but attend a clinic in another location/time. Just let us know)!

    • All Levels are welcome.

    • Small-group, high-repetition instruction

  • If your daughter is just starting, you want her using a stick that’s forgiving and easy to handle so she can learn confidently and enjoy the game right away.

    The right stick supports proper mechanics and makes lacrosse feel simpler — which leads to faster progress and more fun.

    You can purchase a great stick for your daughter at $50 bucks. No problem.

  • A clinic is 1 hour. There are about 20 players per clinic with 2-3 coaches at least on the field. The age range is 1-4th grade, and we almost always have the groups divided by grade and then skillset.

    We build on basic fundamentals: catching, passing, cradling, ground balls, footwork, dodging, and shooting.

    For many girls, this is their first entry into organized youth sports, or they’re easing into it — so we also teach them good habits that make great teammates: listening to coaches, keeping pace, showing gratitude, and cleaning up when we’re done.

    We finish with fun, game-like scenarios and small-sided scrimmages so players can apply what they learned in motion and build confidence fast!

    • At GLOW, we make every effort to hold clinics as scheduled, but player safety always comes first.

    • Sessions will be canceled at least two hours prior if conditions are unsafe, either on the fields or on the roads.

    • An email update will be sent if it is clear the conditions are too dangerous.

    • Clinics will continue as planned in drizzle or light rain!

    • If a clinic is canceled, we’ll provide details on a make-up class date.

    • Alternatively, you are welcome to jump into another class that is offered that might work for your schedule. Please contact Caroline with questions: caroline@glow-lacrosse.com

  • GLOW offers 5-week clinics in the off-season to help players build skills and maintain interest and consistency. During the spring season, we step back (except for Shooting Stars) so players can fully focus on their town or club teams without added conflict.
