Fall Ball / SVS
Take the First Step Toward Excellence
Fall Ball Overview
Team NorCal Fall Ball Programs provide players with valuable off-season opportunities to continue developing their skills in a competitive and structured environment. Designed for a range of experience levels, our fall offerings include both league play and instructional programs for boys and girls.
Players can participate in high school leagues featuring competitive teams and playoff formats, or join instructional programs focused on skill development, game understanding, and confidence building. The programs are tailored for beginner through advanced players, with options that balance training, gameplay, and progression.
We have 4 Fall Ball programs:
- For Boys HS: Intermediate players through Advanced = Boys HS Fall Ball League
- For Girls HS: Intermediate players through Advanced = Girls HS Fall Ball League
- For Boys Youth and MS Beginners through Advanced, and also Beginner HS players = Boys Instructional Fall Ball

Also for our Fall Ball participants (and open to friends as well) is our annual Silicon Valley Shootout Sixes small-sided tournament. It's a great way to finish off your Fall Ball season! Create your own team (with Fall Ball friends or school teammates or other lax friends) or register as an Individual and we will create a team for you. Join us November 22 for SVS Sixes fun! (See below for more details.)
Proceeds from Silicon Valley Shootout help us fund our general Scholarship Fund for players as well as help us to donate lacrosse sticks and other equipment to local schools and after-school programs through our Sticks for Schools fund. It's a great way to make the sport we love more accessible to the youth in our local communities. If you'd like to nominate a deserving school or after-school program, please complete this nomination form.
