Jr. Bandits Girls Elite is a competitive tournament team for girls in grades 9 & 10 that will compete in one box lacrosse tournament this winter, with the possibility of a second. Teams will be coached at practices and tournaments by Canisius University head coach Mark Miyashita and Canisius University assistant coach Corey Yunker. Several Bandits players including Ian MacKay and Tehoka Nanticoke will also help run all tryouts and team practices.
We understand that box lacrosse equipment is a bigger investment. Because of this, tryouts will be non-contact, and full box gear is not required but is encouraged. Should you make the team, box equipment will be required for practices and tournaments moving forward.
