OUR MISSION...“is to encourage and promote the sport of girls’ lacrosse for
the benefit of emotional  maturity and athletic development.”
~ US Lacrosse Grant Application, July 2003
You and your daughter are an exciting part of SMGLL’s new program, which is in its 3rd season ~ The
Chicklettes!  We welcome all the new little lacrosse players and are excited to see returning Chicklettes.  The
designed to introduce skill fundamentals through the avenue of fun and games!
  
This is an 8-week instructional program that will
begin on Saturday, March 28 and end on May 23.  Please note
there will not be a Chicklettes session Easter weekend.
 All one-hour Saturday sessions will be at the College of
Southern Maryland (CSM) Leonardtown campus.  Please park in the lot off of Hollywood-Leonardtown Road.  
Chicklettes sessions will begin at 9 a.m.  Chicklettes participants will not be part of the Lax-a-Daisy Draw
tournament, but are encouraged to come and share the end-of-season festivities held at the Lax-a-Daisy Draw on
Sunday, May 31 at Chaptico Park.

SMGLL will provide sticks and goggles for all the Chicklettes.  If you have your own, you may bring them.
You will need to provide a mouth guard.  The mouth guard needs to fit completely in your child’s mouth with no
exposed protruding tabs.  Please purchase a mouth guard ahead of time and work with your daughter to get used
to the fit.  This is one of the challenges with this age group ~ getting them used to the mouth guard.  They cannot
play without it.  It is a great idea to have 2 mouth guards as one always seems to get misplaced.  Cleats are
recommended, but not necessary.  

Each week, an instructor will introduce a concept and institute skill sets in “game disguise” in order to teach a
fundamental skill.  

SMGLL is excited to work with this age group and look forward to meeting all Chicklettes and their parents in
person on Saturday, March 28.  Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to email us at www.
