New to lacrosse?
Start here
No experience needed. We teach the game from the fundamentals up, and loaner gear is available for any player who needs it.
Who can play in season one?
Boys and girls in grades 1 through 8, grouped as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8. Teams are formed based on registration, pending OYL and OGLA approval.
Who is eligible to play?
It depends on the league. Boys (OYL): any private school student is eligible, and public school students need a waiver from the youth club in the district where they live. Girls (OGLA): players play for the program in their area unless OGLA approves a transfer. Our clinics and select teams are open to everyone, and we welcome families from all faith backgrounds, or none. See the Eligibility page for details.
My child has never played. Is that okay?
Yes. Everything we do is built on the fundamentals, and our coaches teach the game from the ground up.
How much does it cost?
The player registration fee for the season is $100 for grades 1/2 and $250 for grades 3/4 through 7/8. We'll confirm any other costs before registration opens.
