Program Overview

Kougar Kup — Youth Faceoff Competition

The Kougar Kup is an exciting, youth-only faceoff competition designed specifically for young lacrosse athletes to showcase their skills in a competitive, high-energy environment. Players will compete against others in their respective grade divisions, ensuring fair and challenging matchups throughout the tournament.

Modeled after the same format we run for high school athletes, this event brings that elevated, competitive experience to the youth level—giving younger players the opportunity to test themselves, improve, and compete like the next generation of elite faceoff specialists.

Beyond the competition, the Kougar Kup provides valuable recruiting exposure for young athletes and their families, with opportunities to connect with coaches and learn more about some of the highest-level private school education and lacrosse programs throughout New England. The goal is to help young athletes understand what it takes to compete at the next level both academically and athletically.

Each matchup will highlight technique, quickness, and strategy at the X, creating a fun and intense atmosphere for both players and spectators. Winners in each division will take home prizes and earn bragging rights as top competitors in their grade.

Whether you're looking to compete, improve your skills, gain valuable exposure, or experience high-level youth lacrosse, the Kougar Kup is the place to be.

Over the course of 9 years, we have studied, tested, and developed the best possible curriculum to ensure we are preparing each and every student for success at the X. Our training has proven to establish proper fundamentals of faceoff and techniques that will ensure immediate and prolonged success at the faceoff position.

Coaches: (Free of charge) - Our clinics are always open to coaches, free of charge. We allow coaches to take notes, record videos and ask questions during/following the event. This is a great way for coaches to get right in on the action, learn from the staff, reinforce what their players learn, and further educate themselves.
