The team will spend several practices introducing the basics of lacrosse and having fun! For the first time, Pope will participate in a K/1 rec league for the boys. There will be four opportunities to meet up with other K/1 programs for some informal 4v4 round robin mini games. This will be a great way for the boys to experience game like situations in a low pressure environment.

Included in the registration fee is a t-shirt and a personalized Fall 2024 bag tag. Your child will need a boy's lacrosse stick (pocket is deep to hold the ball more securely), helmet, colored mouth guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, cleats (soccer are fine), a water bottle, and a protective athletic supporter (cup). Rib pads are a personal preference, but not necessary at this level. Equipment is available to rent from Lax4Community. Be sure to also purchase a lacrosse ball for your player as he'll need it to practice at home, cheap ones can be purchased at Play It Again Sports.

HOW TO REGISTER:
Please have your player's shirt size ready prior to starting the registration process.
The registration system currently registers based on age using September 1st as the age cutoff date. For those players whose age and grade do not match due to skipping a grade or delaying a year, the registration system will require you to register in the division that is age appropriate. Once you’ve completed registration, please email info@jrgreyhoundlax.com prior to the deadline if you would prefer your child be moved to the appropriate division based on the player's grade.
If you are forced to register your player for U9 due to your player's age and you would like them moved down to K/1, please select that you will pay by check. Once your registration is complete, email us at info@jrgreyhoundlax.com so we can transfer your player to K/1 and provide you the opportunity to pay the remaining balance via credit card or check. If you do not do this, you may be charged a 4% processing fee.
To Register a Player – Once you have registered for an account on this system and are logged-in, Add a participant if your player is not already in the system. If your player has played in our program before, and you don't have him/her listed as a participant, you may be logged into the wrong account. For each participant, it will show you the available programs. Select the desired program and follow the instructions. Please reach out to us at info@jrgreyhoundlax.com for help.
