Registration FAQs
Details for our 2025 Spring Lacrosse Season
Below are the details for our 2025 Spring Season. As a community program, our goal is to encourage the growth and development of both athletic skill and a love for the game. Our teams are open to all players, regardless of experience. We will have a maximum of 4 teams for U8 / U10 Boys programs, and anticipate at least 2 teams each for U12 / U14 Boys. All teams will be placed into a Division appropriate for the team's experience level to enable fun, competitive games.
U12 and U14 Boys teams will be divided by Skill/Experience Level. We will determine how to allocate U8 and U10 teams after reviewing the mix of players who have registered.
All teams will be coached by a combination of Paid Park Ridge Lacrosse Coaches and/or Parent Coaches with previous playing or coaching lacrosse experience.
