Welcome Parents,
Lacrosse is a team sport played using a solid rubber ball and long handled racket called a crosse or Lacrosse Stick. The head of the crosse has a loose net strung into it that allows the player to hold the lacrosse ball. Offensively the object of the game is to use the lacrosse stick to catch, carry, and pass the ball in an effort to score by ultimately hurling the ball into an opponent's goal. Defensively the object is to keep the opposing team from scoring and to dispossess them of the ball through the use of stick checking and body contact. There are three distinct versions of the sport: men's lacrosse, women's lacrosse, box lacrosse.
 The Northern Vermont Youth Lacrosse League Season runs typically from mid-March to mid-June, with weekend games starting the first week of May. To get started you can either Locate a team in Vermont, Register a Player, or if you are interested in Girls Lacrosse, please contact Jill Adams or Beth Beldock.
