GET READY FOR BULLETS 2023-2024!
A view of the program for rising 5th through 8th graders.
This is consisting of players with graduation years of 2028-2031.
Fall: September, October, November
The Bay State Bullets will enter their seventh year in the fall of 2023. Talented and committed players who have accepted a spot on our roster will be accepting a spot within our full 2023-2024 Bay State Bullets program year.
Once tryouts have concluded in August and our teams have been selected, the players will take part in a 3-month outdoor fall season that runs from September to November. We will hold either a training session or we will attend a tournament on Sunday’s between September 10th and November 15th. We will attend four 1-day local tournaments. This intensive training is designed to cultivate player/coach camaraderie and provide necessary learning time to prepare players and teams for a fast paced start to the club lacrosse season.
Fall Tournaments- FOUR EVENTS

Each team will be assigned one head coach. The head coach will work in collaboration with varied staff assistant coaches. The consistency of our leadership is a critical staple in evaluating player strengths and weaknesses. A solid individual player evaluation allows the coach to truly individualize instruction. This also gives the coach the opportunity to place players in the most productive positions to succeed. Our assistant coaching staff rotation will provide all players the opportunity to work with different coaches and different coaching styles. The consistent head coach and rotating assistant coach model is something we feel is an essential part of player and team development. Four fall tournaments are included in tuition.
Winter: December, January and February (concludes in early March)
Our youth teams will train indoors, two practices a month during the winter season. We also offer optional programs. We offer Functional Training and Skills Clinics at The Edge and Northboro Teamworks.
In an effort to compete at the highest possible levels at the upper youth division, we will hold consistent meetings (practices, tournaments, games) from September through July. Although we recognize the winter months can be very busy for our players involved in other sports, we have added 6 additional practices in total over the winter season. These will be in place in hopes to keep sticks in player's hands more consistently over the course of the winter. We are adding 2 practices per month during the Months of December, January and February. These practices will take place on Sunday mornings at the Edge in Bedford.
