Pop‑Up Littles: Westward’s Little League Lacrosse Launch in Las Vegas
“No pads, no worries” — just sticks, fun, and first steps in lacrosse
If you’ve seen kids buzzing around Reid Marketplace Park with lacrosse sticks and big grins, chances are they’re part of Pop‑Up Littles, Westward Lacrosse’s coed mini program aimed at PreK through 2nd grade beginners.
What’s the deal?
Launched in Las Vegas in 2023, Pop‑Up Littles is a fall/winter, 60‑minute skills‑and‑games series built to spark early interest in lacrosse — and keep it light.
Sessions run on Oct 23, 30; Nov 6, 13; Dec 4, 11 from 6:00–7:00 PM, at Reid Marketplace Park (5800 Surrey St, Las Vegas).
Cost: $99 regular / $119 late (after Oct 16)
USA Lacrosse membership ($35) is required
This is a non‑contact, sticks‑only program (no pads).
Loaner sticks are available by reservation for kids without gear.
Why locals are rallying behind it
Pop‑Up Littles taps into a simple but powerful idea: the younger the introduction, the longer the love potential for lacrosse. The format leans on Flex6, a fun, fast-paced, non‑contact version of the game that’s perfect for beginners.
Parents praise the program’s strong organization and its ability to welcome even total newbies:
What’s more, this program fills a gap in local youth sports — many start with soccer or T‑ball; Pop‑Up Littles offers something fresh (and yes, stick-based).
Quick glance: What Pop‑Up Littles offers
Introductory lacrosse experience with no prior knowledge required
Short, structured sessions that keep it fun
Non‑contact format, safe for early athletes

Community connection
Pop‑Up Littles is more than just another youth program. It helps plant roots for lacrosse in neighborhoods and brings families together around a growing sport. Coaches, volunteers, and parents all become part of that early ecosystem.
