Philosophy

Lacrosse at St. Sebastian’s began in the spring of 1981, forty years after the school’s founding. Since then the program has grown into a top contender in the Independent School League, the largest and most competitive prep school lacrosse league in New England.

In 2012, the Arrows earned a share of the ISL championship for the first time, and they repeated the feat in 2017. In 2019, the team notched its first outright ISL title, going undefeated and earning a trip to the Geico National Tournament in Washington, D.C. The Arrows are perennial contenders in the ISL, and in recent seasons they've notched non-league victories against top-ranked schools from Connecticut, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The team is consistently ranked in the top 25 in the Under Armour/Inside Lacrosse National Rankings.

Program Details

St. Sebastian’s believes in developing players at every level. We typically have over 100 boys playing middle school or high school lacrosse. In addition to the Varsity team, St. Sebastian’s fields a JV, a 9th grade, 8th grade, and a 7th grade team. Each squad is coached by at least two full-time faculty members.

Clubs

The Arrows have strong relationships with many of the club teams in the Boston area. Varsity players have also suited up for 3D New England, Clams, Harlem Lacrosse, Kings, Laxachusetts, and Piatelli Lacrosse.
