Are there tryouts/evaluations?

We will only hold evaluations if there are enough girls registered to field multiple teams. We will contact registrants after registration closes to keep you informed.
 

Can non-EP residents sign up?

Yes. However, team sizes are limited. Priority will be given to EP residents.

You must first register with US Lacrosse and then return to this Registration Session to signup.  If you have not already signed up with US Lacrosse, please follow these steps:

One-Time Birth Certificate Download

Parents will also be required to do a one-time download of a players birth certificate when renewing or signing up for a US Lacrosse membership.  This will also ensure that players are at the correct level.  MSLax allows age waivers from time to time for girls with extenuating circumstances.  

• Step 1: CLICK HERE to go to US Lacrosse Registration and register your player(s). Be sure to PRINT and SAVE their confirmation code(s). Remember to register EACH of your players with US Lacrosse. Each player must have their own unique US Lacrosse confirmation number.
• Step 2: Return to this registration and proceed. Later in this registration session you will need to enter the US Lacrosse Confirmation Number that you received in Step 1.
