St Monica’s have entered 3 teams into the ‘Lacrosse at the Lights’ Term 1 tournament at Lightsview.
This is a 6 week ‘Come and Try’ style tournament where there is no cost to families and is all about allowing the children to join in and see if they like it.
We have two Under 8’s teams and an Under 11’s team, and have increased our numbers from Term 4 last year which was very pleasing.
It’s also been great to have our sister school in St Martin’s also entering teams and being able to compete against them (and also with them, when shared players were needed)
Our weekly training sessions on Wednesdays have been well attended and have been lots of fun. The children have fine-tuned their skills and its been great to see them put them into action on Saturdays, and at this stage, all 3 teams are undefeated.

The children’s faces lit up when they saw them on the sidelines!
Also thanks to the East Torrens Payneham Lacrosse Club for providing equipment and organising coaches and teams.
We are pleased to announce that St Monica’s will be entering school teams into the Lacrosse SA Winter season – see the flyer and link for more information.
