Hello Lacrosse Families,

 Welcome to the 2023 lacrosse season!  Registration will be open starting tomorrow December 1st for k-8 boys’ and girls’ teams.  Please sign your child up as soon as possible.  If you are in need of rental equipment, please get with me outside of registration as no equipment will be made available through registration. Rental gear is primarily for k-4 children.  5/6 should start considering getting their own gear.  7/8 is strongly encouraged to provide all of your own equipment.

Winter training sessions start this Sunday December 4th.  All of our training sessions will be at Stephen Bell elementary unless otherwise posted.

Sunday December 4th, 11th, 18th, January 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th, February 5th, 12th 19th,26th. Other dates may be added throughout the winter and you will be notified by email and website of any additions or changes.

To register please go to www.bellbrooklacrosse.com  please note that you will be required to have a current us lacrosse membership which is required nationwide for youth lacrosse sports.  You will be directed to the U.S. lacrosse website during registration and then you will go back to our website to enter the us lacrosse member number. Please register your child in their name while on the U.S. lacrosse website not your own. Memberships are required for play and for insurance purposes.

Below are the times for indoor Lax training sessions for both boys and girls! Training sessions are free and open to all boys and girls!

Come out and try one of the most exciting, fastest growing girls sports - no experience necessary! The Girls Youth Lacrosse Program will hold open gyms and Try-It events every Sunday at the Stephen Bell Gym beginning December 4th. Girls in grades 3-8 are invited to come out and give lacrosse a try! Sticks and goggles for our try-it events have been covered by a generous grant from USA Lacrosse, so there is no equipment and no commitment needed to come out and try it! Girls in Grades 3-6 will be Sundays from 2:00-3:00, and girls in Grades 7-8 will be Sundays from 3:00-4:00. See the flyer for more information, or  with any questions.
