What:Indoor/ Box Lacrosse "Pick Up" league one night a week for youth boys and girls. Box Lacrosse is a modified version of Field Lacrosse played in a traditional hockey rink. The game is very popular in Canada and on the East coast. Due to its compressed format many programs will use it as a fun way to build skills. It's running, passing, catching, & shooting in tight quarters on a smaller goal. The game is modified from field in many ways. Field of play is shorter, the goals are smaller, there are fewer players, there is no offsides & there are fewer face-off. Think of it as a blend of Lacrosse and basketball.
Full gear is required:
You are responsible for your own equipment
BOYS: helmet, mouth guard, stick, chest, shoulder,elbow pads, cup and gloves.
GIRLS: Stick, mouth guard, eye protection and optional gloves
The cost will be $66.00 for a 6 week session. The price will decrease as the number of sessions decrease. This can be found within the registration process. with an additional $25.00 if you are not a member of US Lacrosse. The US Lacrosse membership is good for 1 year and is required for our spring league as well Registration will be open the entire time

No formal teams just pickup Green versus Yellow and we’ll mix up the teams each week.
There will be MANDATORY EQUAL playing time for all players. The rules will be modified to allow incidental contact only (not full contact) to protect the kids, the spirit of the game, as well as the facility.
There will be coach’s and ref’s present to provide some coaching and skill development.
Those who play defense in Field will have to adapt and use a “Short Stick” for this league, great for skill building for defense.
A boys cup is mandatory.
The facility is asking that no one bring any food into the facility.
You must be a member of USLax
