Where Holmes players train, and when

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

Holmes players feed into one of Delaware County's most active lacrosse corridors, with SEPYLA and PAGLA rec seasons leading toward competitive high school and club programs just minutes away.

How players come up here

The programs a Holmes player moves through, youngest first.

  1. Grades K to 2

    First touches and clinic play

    Young players in Holmes typically start through kindergarten-to-2nd-grade intramural or clinic programs, with some towns also fielding K-to-4 teams in the Delaware Valley Lacrosse League. Private coaching at this stage focuses on catching, throwing, and cradling so kids arrive at rec tryouts with basic confidence.

  2. Grades 3 to 8

    SEPYLA and PAGLA travel seasons

    Boys in this range compete through SEPYLA, girls through PAGLA, both running mid-March to late May with one weekend game and two weeknight practices per week. Holmes players draw from a pool of Delaware County community organizations aligned along school district lines, giving them structured league play through middle school.

  3. High school

    PIAA District 1 spring season

    Practices open in early March under PIAA rules, with league games running through mid-May in the Central League, which governs Delaware County public schools. District 1 playoffs follow in late May, and the PIAA state tournament runs through mid-June at Penn State. Nearby programs like Springfield-Delco, Ridley, Penncrest, and Garnet Valley are regular participants.

  4. Summer and fall

    Club, travel, and fall ball

    After the high school season, club tryouts with programs like Delco Lacrosse and Forge Lacrosse Club open in June and July, with weekend tournaments running through the summer. Fall ball and winter box or indoor clinics from December through February keep Delaware County players sharp between seasons.

Where private coaching fits

How families in and around Holmes use an independent coach.

When families book

Families in Holmes most often reach out in January and February, ahead of late-February evaluations and spring tryouts, and again in July and August before fall ball and club tournament weekends begin. Coaches travel directly to the family.

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 Holmes?

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 Holmes?

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 Holmes?

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.
