We follow US Lacrosse guidelines and regulations. Please see the below regarding information on which age group youth will typically fall under as well as a brief description of the game. New and returning players are welcome at all age groups.

U8- Grades 1 through 2.

• This age group plays games in a 4v4 format, on a 60 yd x 35 yd field, with no offsides and with 3'x3' goals and goalies(not required). The U8 is focused on having fun, creating excitement about the game and building lacrosse skills and individual athlete development.

U10- Grades 3 through 4. 

• Played on same field as 8U in a 8v8 format. Goals are a standard 4'x4'. Goalies are standard in gameplay. U10, like U8, is focused on gaining a love for the game, while developing lacrosse and athletic skills. 

U12- Grades 5 through 6.

• Field increases in size to regulation (110 yd x 60 yd). Game is played in a 10v10 format. At this age, foundational lacrosse skills(such as passing and recovering ground balls) are further focused on and developed. Teamwork is more emphasized at this level than in younger age groups.

U14- Grades 7 through 8.

• Continuation of U12. Field size and format remain the same. Further development of skills occurs at this level as well as preparation for the High School levels. 

Preseason activities begin in February. The season starts in March and ends with our end of year BVLA(Bay Valley Lacrosse Association) tournament.

Practices are held 2-3 times a week. We try to plan locations according to weather conditions and availability. 

Games and play days are played on weekends, usually Sundays. As part of the BVLA, we compete against other teams from Wausau, Stevens Point, Green Bay, Neenah, Kimberly, Pulaski, and Oneida on a regular basis. 

Players are required to be equipped with a helmet, mouth guard, shoulder pads(NOCSAE certified), elbow pads, gloves, legal stick, and cup. Rental equipment can be provided if an athlete does not have their own. Please contact the Youth Boys Director for information on rental equipment.

Each player is required to purchase their own uniform upon registration if one hasn't been purchased already. They will come as a bundle with a reversible jersey, non-reversible shorts, and a shooter shirt. 

Travel costs are not included.
