2012 Spring Lacrosse

KYS lacrosse is for boys age 9 to 14 (excluding high school students). Games and practices will be held at Lakeshore Park on Lyons View. All games will be played on Saturday mornings on Anderson Field and River Field, which are high school-sized baseball fields that have convenient rest rooms and a concession stand. (Note: A child’s playing age is Jan. 1, 2012.)

Workout Sessions, Schedule & Equipment
In early March, players will be asked to attend workouts for coaches to evaluate players. Teams will be formed, depending on the number of registrations to provide parity in each league. Players will be required to wear full equipment, including mouth-guards, helmets, cups, pads, and gloves. Boys will play no-body-contact lacrosse. Stick-to-stick contact will be allowed in boys’ leagues.

Season & Fees
The season will be from March 26-May 21, 2012. Teams will play about 8+ 1-hour games during the season. Before each game, teams will also practice for 1 hour. Teams will be given one additional practice time during the week at the Pool Field at Lakeshore. Fee: $175. (This fee will offset the costs of running this program, which include uniforms, goals, goalie equipment, field maintenance, and insurance.)
