HOTSHOTS FALL 2020
HOTSHOTS FALL 2020
HOTSHOTS FALL 2020
2025 will mark the 4th Spring Lacrosse Season for the Santa Ynez Valley Hotshots.
Our 12U and 10U schedule will include games with Santa Barbara Hotshots, the 805 Sharks Lacrosse Club (SLO/AG/Templeton), and potentially the Bakersfield Rams.
Players that have never tried lacrosse before are required to have attended an Ignite Beginner's Clinic and a few Training Sessions so they are adequately prepared to experience some success in a competitive setting. We also use this time to make sure the player likes the sport before the parents invest in the necessary equipment to play.

Equipment
All players must provide their own lacrosse equipment to participate in the Hotshots Spring Program.
Hotshots loaner equipment is designed to be used for "Try Lacrosse" opportunities. This equipment is necessary to have on hand so we can come to your school and introduce the lacrosse to new players and help grow the game!
We believe it's important to invest in your son's lacrosse experience and we can help direct you to many affordable options.
