Lacrosse Program
Since fielding our first team in 1966, has become the premier program for middle school players to develop their skills and learn to play the game at the most competitive levels.
Many of our players matriculate to the finest secondary schools in the country, and dozens of Cardigan graduates have enjoyed successful college careers. We understand that athletics can play a key role in the development of a boy’s character, and we remain committed to our student-athletes, both in the classroom and on the field. We have four lacrosse teams, each with a dedicated and experienced coaching staff. There is place for every boy to play in an environment that fosters skill development, understanding of team concepts, and sportsmanship.

One of things we know is that middle school boys need to be active, so part of their education is athletic education. A lot of the boys come with a sport of hockey or lacrosse or skiing that they feel is an important part of their identity. We want to honor that, and we want to do it the right way.
