Girls who have a mouth guard and cleats should bring them.

Lacrosse is a team sport played between two teams using a crosse (long-handled stick) and a lacrosse ball. Players use the head of the lacrosse stick to carry, pass, and catch the ball. Points are scored by shooting the ball into the opponent’s goal.

Registration for the fall lacrosse season opens September 1. Practice begins October 4 and the regular season starts in January 2018.
