Where Kenilworth players train, and when

The local season, the programs players come up through, and how private coaching fits around them.

Kenilworth players enter a Union County lacrosse scene tied to NJSIAA spring competition and a year-round calendar of rec leagues, club travel, and fall ball that stretches across northern New Jersey.

How players come up here

The programs a Kenilworth player moves through, youngest first.

  1. PreK to grade 8

    Rec and youth league entry

    Town recreation programs in the Union County area feed boys into the North Jersey Junior Lacrosse League and girls into the New Jersey Junior Girls Lacrosse League. Seasons run from March or April through mid-June, giving younger players a structured introduction to the game before middle school competition begins.

  2. Middle school

    League play through grade 8

    Boys programs compete in the North Jersey Junior Lacrosse League, a US Lacrosse-affiliated league covering northern New Jersey through 8th grade. Girls follow the New Jersey Junior Girls Lacrosse League track, with travel team play from 3rd grade onward giving players meaningful competitive experience heading into high school.

  3. High school

    NJSIAA spring season

    High school lacrosse runs under NJSIAA rules, with practices opening in March and league games carrying into May. Nearby programs at Westfield and Scotch Plains-Fanwood are regular NJSIAA tournament participants. The state tournament starts in late May and wraps in early June, setting the competitive ceiling for the spring season.

  4. Summer and fall

    Club and travel lacrosse

    Club and travel play through organizations like Tri-State Lacrosse fills the summer and fall months, with weekend tournaments keeping players sharp after the NJSIAA season closes. Fall ball leagues and indoor winter clinics round out the off-season calendar for Kenilworth players looking to develop year-round.

Where private coaching fits

How families in and around Kenilworth use an independent coach.

When families book

Kenilworth families most often book private coaching in January and February ahead of NJSIAA tryouts, and again in summer before club tournament weekends. The coach travels directly to the family, no facility required.

Fields families use

Your backyard, a local park, or your club's field: you and your coach settle it directly, anywhere inside their travel radius.

Talk to the STXZ team
Can I pick the coach I want?

STXZ matches you with an independent coach based on your location, the player's level, position, and goals. You review that coach's profile by email first and can request a different match before anything is billed.

Is this a fit for a brand-new player in Kenilworth?

Yes. Tell STXZ where your player is starting so the match accounts for their level. Beginners work on catching, cradling, and ground balls; experienced players focus on their position.

When do I actually pay?

Once you approve a match and agree on a start date, your invoice arrives by email. It is due in full at least five days before the first lesson. Registration itself requires no payment.

What does it cost in Kenilworth?

Rates are per lesson and set for your zip code. Packages of 6 and 12 lessons lower the per-lesson rate, and the booking app accepts any count from 1 to 18. There is a one-time $20 service fee per player.

What if the first session is not a fit?

Contact STXZ within seven days of that lesson and choose a rematch with another coach at no additional charge or a refund of the lesson fees paid. The service fee is not refundable.

Where can we train, and what should we bring?

A backyard, park, or school field within the coach's travel radius, arranged directly with your coach. Bring your stick, protective equipment, and water. Indoor or paid facility charges are yours to cover.

Who are the coaches in Kenilworth?

Independent contractors on the STXZ roster, not STXZ employees. Each passes a criminal background check and completes STXZ safety and conduct training before taking a first lesson. Coaching and playing history is provided by the coach, and clients are responsible for vetting their matched coach before booking.
