MIDDLE SCHOOL LACROSSE 

Winter Session      League Rules  MS Schedule

The Far Post is excited to announce its first year of  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.
