The Adaptive Lacrosse Program is the first of its kind in Massachusetts and is open to all communities. This program offers a way for kids with physical and developmental disabilities to enjoy the sport in a non-competitive and adaptive environment. Coaches and organizational participants will emphasize teamwork, sportsmanship, and skills development on an age and ability appropriate basis. The pr
ogram is structured to have middle and high school lacrosse players from the local community area teamed as a “buddy” or “mentor” for each participant. These buddy coaches assist in adapting the skills and teaching methods to the needs of each participant’s ability and specific requirements. Equipment and rules will also be modified as necessary to meet participant’s needs while maintaining the overall fundamental lacrosse team experience.
