During the fall season, practices are usually limited to a couple per week (based on coaches' schedules/needs), and the teams usually participate in a few local tournaments. Practices usually begin in mid-September, and the season usually ends around Thanksgiving.

Spring season is the "main season" in lacrosse. Games are usually played on the weekends (some weeknight games for the older groups), and practices will start either the first or 2nd week in January. Games usually start mid-February and can run as long as early/mid-May. Practices are during the week, and the coach of that age group decides upon days/times.
