When are clinics offered?
We always offer a Pre-Game Clinic before the start of Session 1 of the Indoor League. This allows players to refresh their skills and/or learn new skills. For those players just learning the sport, this clinic gives you a great foundation for beginning the sport. All levels are welcome to participate. Players are grouped according to experience.
All other clinics vary throughout the course of the year. If you are interested in having a clinic/training session for your team/program, contact us! We can come to you and run your team through an integral training/clinic session that meets the specific needs of your group.

We offer Summer League for Middle and High School players (grades 6-12) with registration beginning in April as well as two indoor sessions for players grades 5th-12th with registration beginning in September. All registration is now online!
Are league capped?
Yes, we do have a cap on each league. We operate on a first come first serve basis. Register early to ensure a spot.
What is the difference between Session 1 and Session 2 of the Indoor Winter League?
We get this question a lot. Session 1 entitled "Get Back into the Game" is focused on skill and strategy development. For this reason, teams are blended with no more than 6 individuals from a given school. Although we realize players love to play with their friends, we know you are also dedicated to becoming the best player you can be! A great way to do this is playing with those other than your teammates. This helps you adjust and expand your style and level of play.
Session 2 entitled "Gear up for the Season" is based on team play where you compete with teammates from your school program. Now you can bring your increased level of play gained from the "Get Back into the Game Session" to help with the team chemistry you will create in the second sessions. Schools are encouraged to sign up together. This league is held right before the spring season starts. It is great for gearing up for the season and getting ready for competition!
How are the teams made?
For Session 1: "Get Back into the Game", each team is allowed to have up to 6 players from the same school on a team. You may make a teammate request when completing your online registration.
For Session 2: "Gear up for the Season", up to 15 players plus a Goalie from the same school may be on the same team together.
Are there any practices for Lucky Lax Leagues?
No, there are no practices. In our years of experience we have learned that the girls want to go play! Leave the practices for the school season. We specialize in helping you improve your game during game time!
But what if I’ve never played before?
That’s ok, you’re not alone. We have had many new players join our leagues who agree that just getting out there and playing is the best way to learn. Each team has a coach for every game that is constantly instructing as the game is being played.
Lessons FAQ
Do you offer Private Lessons?
We can put you in touch with one of our coaches for individual or group private lessons. This is not run through Lucky Lax and the details of the sessions would be arranged between the coach and player(s).
Player Information FAQ
I haven’t played before…can I still sign up for a Lucky Lax Event?
You have to start somewhere, and before your know it, you will no longer be considered ‘new’ to the sport! Under the Events link, we label what the experience level is for each league/event. Many are noted as for new and experienced players. Just be sure to read the descriptions.
Registration FAQ
I think I’m a varsity player…can I play for the varsity league?
The Varsity League is meant for experienced, varsity level players. This ensures competition level is in place. Consult your coach to see if you are a varsity candidate. We accept emailed recommendations from HS coaches for league placement. They can be very brief. Since tryouts have not taken place, all they need to indicate is that you are a varsity candidate.
Is there late registration?
If there is room! We extend our registration period for two reasons. First, if we still have openings and second, if we have expanded the league and have more teams to fill.
Do I need a US Lacrosse number?
Yes. This is required for participation. You can register for a membership by visiting USLacrosse.org There is also a link from our website.
