Q: Are there tryouts?

No! We are a rec program, all are welcome!

Q: I noticed that girls are welcome on the team, but I don't see both boys and girls teams.  Why is this?

Currently the teams are only playing men's lacrosse rules, with physical contact allowed.  But, we have several girls across multiple age groups that play and enjoy the physical game play.  The club is interested in creating a girl's lacrosse team in the future if there is enough interest.
