Register for our free beginners clinic at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5 (Field 1).

Clinic will be held 11:30 am - 1:00 pm Sunday 10/5.

Open to girls and boys in grades 1 - 8. Players will learn the basics of the sport in a comfortable and fun environment with amazing coaches who share our passion and love of the game. No equipment necessary.

The Crescents have been bringing lacrosse, North America’s oldest game, to the youth of Brooklyn since 2006.

The Crescents provide instruction, a competitive schedule, educational opportunities and good old-fashioned fun for boys and girls from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade. Whether you’re a novice who has only seen the game on ESPN, have a cousin that plays in the burbs or been playing wall ball looking for a middie line to join, the Crescents are ready to play.

The Crescents boasts players from all over Brooklyn and all 5 boroughs of New York City. From Brownsville to Brooklyn Heights and all parts in between, we even have love for our friends from the outer borough of Manhattan.

Our home field is the beautiful Poly Prep Country Day School in Bay Ridge which has been our partner on this journey since 2008.

Lacrosse is unique as a sport, not only in the athletic attributes it combines but the opportunities beyond the game it provides. It is the fastest growing sport in North America from the youth level up through the collegiate level. While today’s kids want to play in the NBA or NFL the competition in basketball and football almost becomes counterproductive. Lacrosse gets you one step ahead at great public & private schools and after that to some of the best colleges and universities in the country.

No player will be turned away for financial reasons.

About The Brooklyn Crescents:

Eight years ago six people (L’Quentus Thomas, Susan Murray, Kassim Howell, Jessica O’Brien, Dan Sheff, and Wes Jackson) dedicated to youth development and the game of lacrosse came together to continue the mission of bringing lacrosse, then a historically suburban sport, to Brooklyn.

The group had worked with the legendary Kevin Graham of The Brooklyn Admirals who for years worked to use the sport to empower the community. After Mr. Graham’s passing, the founders, still committed to that original mission, launched the Crescents.

Our alumni have gone on to enroll and play at some of the nation’s leading high schools and boarding schools as well as the collegiate level.

The future of The Crescents, our beloved sport, our players and their families is as bright as ever.
