If you have a jersey or penny from prior years, please bring it to practice. If you do not have a prior season’s uniform to practice in, athletic shorts and T-shirt under shoulder pads will work.

Also, we need volunteers and individuals interested in becoming Creeks Lacrosse Board Members.  We will have many available positions after this year and will ask those interested to attend our meetings so they can learn how to manage the program going forward.

CREEKS YOUTH LACROSSE

Creeks Youth Lacrosse Program is a not-for-profit recreational and travel club program focused on promoting and organizing the play of lacrosse for boys & girls, from kindergarten through middle school, at all levels of core competencies and skill levels. We offer multiple lacrosse offerings throughout the year, but our primary season, Spring (Feb. - May), brings many newcomers, at all age levels (K - 8th), that join us for their first season of lacrosse. So, if your son or daughter has never played before, he or she will not be alone in trying lacrosse for the first time.

While we always intend to field competitive teams and play well, we pride ourselves on developing players for longevity in the game of lacrosse by teaching the core fundamentals of the game and instilling in our players a love for the game.  The transition from "newbie" at the beginning of the season to what could be called a "lacrosse player" at the end of a season is impressive.  Hopefully, we will be able to count your son or daughter in for that transition!

Please note that the following is required, in addition to our general registration fee, in order to register with Creeks Lacrosse...

• All participants in Creeks Youth Lacrosse must have a current and valid US Lacrosse membership ($30 yr. / player; this is in addition to our registration fee).
• US Lacrosse membership provides the umbrella insurance coverage for our participants. Without a US Lacrosse number, you cannot complete the online registration process.

Creeks Lacrosse participates in the North Florida Youth Lacrosse League, which consists of Creeks, Ponte Vedra, Fleming Island, Villages, and St. Johns PAL.
