COMMITMENT REQUIRED
COUNTY: Unlike various other county sports, boys lacrosse does not have a set day for games. Games are played throughout the week/weekend and schedules are not released until the first week of April. This said we are unable to “guarantee” game schedules or that practice schedules will remain the same throughout the season. Please keep this in mind when planning activities for the spring. Playing time requirements are only valid if a player is showing up for practices.
SCOOPERS: Our Scoopers program is for players in pre-k to first grade. As with county lacrosse we expect players to be committed to attending all practices and games. Please consider your child’s individual personality and readiness to participate in a team sport before signing up for lacrosse. Generally speaking this age group meets two times per week (weeknights) for about 1 -1 ˝ hours for practices/games. We will not have a final schedule determined until late March.

The age cut off for boys lacrosse is September 1. Age parameters below are for the Spring 2013 season
