Development Programs
Quick Stix Lacrosse
Kids can play Quick Stix with a lacrosse club or at school. Quick Stix is modified lacrosse for primary school kids. It is fast. It’s exciting. And it’s sneaky too! Kids catch and throw a ball with a modified lacrosse stick, and shoot the ball into an unprotected goal.
Quick Stix Involve - In School Program
Five week program (one hour per week)
If you are a sport teacher, let us help you run a Quick Stix program in your primary school! School and clubs run Quick Stix Involve to introduce students to the modified lacrosse game. The program aims to develop the three basic skills of catching, scooping and throwing, and teach the game rules. If you would like to run Quick Stix Involve at your school, send us an email.
The Quick Stix program is a free-flowing form of lacrosse for students to start learning the game. It is simple to teach and learn, and a perfect sport for both primary and secondary school children.
• Enjoy a fun environment in which to learn the game of lacrosse
• Lacrosse combines hand-eye coordination and quick decision making
• Enjoy the positive social experience that team sports provide
• Join a pathway which can transition children into club-based competitive lacrosse at youth level
• Be introduced to one of the fastest growing international sports that is played in over 60 countries world-wide.
Quick Stix Invade - After School Program
Five week program (one hour per week)
-
Sessions run after school, so kids and parents don’t have to turn up on weekends.
-
Quick Stix Invade uses modified sticks and soft balls to develop the three basic skills (catching, scooping and throwing). But it focuses more on game play. The first session will be half skill development and half games, then game time will increase for the following four sessions.
-
Younger children can play Quick Stix Challenge for one, two or three years, getting ready for when they are old enough for junior lacrosse. If you would like your child to attend our Quick Stix Invade program, register on the Quick Stix tab.
Development Initiatives
Play Our Way Funding
In 2024, our club received funding from the Australian Government under the Play Our Way grant program. The program aims to give women and girls more opportunities to access, participate and stay involved in sport and physical activity. The grant is for 3 years and will be used by the club to provide safe, inclusive, quality and sustainable facilities, equipment and initiatives and help women and girls to stay involved in sport and physical activity for life.
