our story
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NYC PLAYERS.
We recognize that we have a responsibility, as teachers of this great indigenous sport, to develop a lacrosse community as diverse, inclusive, and talented as our great city. 5 Points was born out of the frustration of watching some of NYC's best youth lacrosse players leave the five boroughs for club teams hours away, seeking advanced play that wasn't offered here. So we created a much needed resource for the NYC girls lacrosse community. We offer advanced training by accredited coaches, a proven curriculum, and use our unique city landscape in creative ways to get our reps in and level up NYC lacrosse.
TEAMS
Rabbits - 10u (35/36's) (skills sessions only)
This season our 10u program is an introductory skills program. We will teach the basic skills of the game and get good exercise through fun lacrosse based activities in a welcoming, low stress environment.
HUDSON DUSTERS - 12u (33/34's)
Our 12u program is designed to create opportunities for our players to develop core skills, athleticism and basic lacrosse IQ. We want to develop an overall appreciation and admiration for the game at this age. Practices will consist primarily of drills that provide high repetitions in a fun and welcoming environment.
Bowery Girls - 14u (31/32's)
At the 14u age division we continue heavy work on core stick skills. Players begin to specialize into positions. We begin to spend more time individual “strategy”, like when to dodge and how to set up your dodge. Team defensive concepts become a bit more of a focus with simple slide packages including 1st, and 2nd slides . Offensive strategy comes into play as we advance the explanations around movement and reactions to other players on the field to create balance and spacing in an offense. Odd man drills remain a staple as they both develop lacrosse IQ and demand proficient stick work in high speed competitive situations.
40 Thieves - 2029/30's
This program will continue to have a focus on stick skills but players are expected to have strong foundational skills. An emphasis will be on higher IQ development, including off ball movement and more advanced slide packages, in order to build a foundation for more advanced development at the varsity level.
Daybreak - 2027/28's
This program will focus on both individual skills and team concepts, taught at a varsity and college level. The program is designed to create opportunities for our players to further sharpen their stick skills, athleticism, and lacrosse IQ to prepare them for the next level.
We expect advanced players to understand core offensive & defensive principles and have very sound stick skills. Odd-man and small-sided drills remain a critical part of our player training. Defenders will do both team and individual drills to further understand 1v1 defense as well as team concepts like off ball positioning and slides and recovery. Team concepts and team offense and defense will remain “principle based” but those principles will become more complex.
