Programs Offered:
- Physical Education Program – Bandits players will visit your school to teach the fundamentals of lacrosse to students in grades 2–12. Sticks will be provided if your school does not have its own.
- Reading Program – This program is designed for students in grades K–1 who are unable to participate in the PE program. A Buffalo Bandits player will visit individual classrooms to read a book about the history of the Creator’s Game. This is intended to be a small, classroom-based experience rather than a school-wide assembly, allowing for a more personal and engaging setting with the students.
Run Dates:
- The Buffalo Bandits School Program will run from mid-November to the end of April
Equipment Provided:
- Lacrosse Sticks
School Provides:
- Tennis balls or soft-sided balls
- Cones or polyspots
- Goals or nets – They do not need to be lacrosse-specific and can be pop-up nets or hockey nets.
Bandits Ticket Vouchers:
In addition to the presentations, each student will receive one (1) complimentary ticket to a 2025-26 regular-season home game with the purchase of at least one ticket. Additional tickets can be purchased. Tickets are subject to availability.
Please Note:
- Due to the program’s popularity and the limited availability of our players, we may not be able to accommodate every school that registers. Priority will be given to schools we did not visit last year, with a waitlist created as needed. When selecting dates, please consider state testing, scheduled days off, and other potential conflicts. Once your school’s visit is confirmed, rescheduling may not be possible if dates later become unavailable.
- For the PE program, only your school’s PE teachers should register and coordinate directly with our program scheduler. For the reading program, school administrators or grade-level representatives may apply. Parents, PTA members, and other individuals should not submit applications on behalf of a school.
- If your school is selected, our team will contact you directly using the email address provided during registration.
- We will do our best to accommodate your school’s requested dates; however, please be prepared to offer flexibility if your preferred dates are unavailable.
