HIGH SCHOOL LACROSSE LEAGUE

Winter Session      League Rules  HS Schedule

The Far Post is excited to announce its SECOND High School Indoor Lacrosse League (the “Far Post League”).  All play will take place on the facility’s two state of the art “Sprinturf” fields, each of which measures 175'x 81' (by far the largest indoor playing surfaces in the area).  The playing surfaces are “touchline” fields; there are no rinks or boards, simulating outdoor play and making for a more traditional lacrosse-playing experience.

 DIVISIONS:  The Far Post League will consist of three divisions: 

  • Super A Division:  Premier/Elite High School or All-Star Teams

  • A Division:  High School Varsity-Level Play

  • B Division:  High School Junior Varsity or 9th/10th graders
