Opportunities to Play Lacrosse
Minnesota lacrosse is growing leaps and bounds! There are several opportunities for fall leagues and summer clubs. Click the link to check them out!
Homegrown Lacrosse offers several opportunities:
Premier League box lacrosse can give players fresh motivation and enthusiasm for playing and training. All the players from the East Metro will compete against teams formed in the North, West, & South regions to try and claim the Premier League Trophy.
Homegrown Academy is small group training focused on individual skills and abilities. Each session mixes high repetition skill work with strength and conditioning. Every minute of field time is maximized to heighten players on-field IQ while building endurance and lacrosse specific muscle memory.
Travel / Club Lacrosse Tryouts are taking place for many of the MN teams in September. If you are interested in expanding your lacrosse participation, travel lacrosse is a great way to do so. Give me a call if you'd like to discuss the options and which is best for you. Tryout dates are:
Team MN: Sept 8-9
Team 36: Sept 16
MN Loons: Sept 8-9
MN Chill: Sept 16, 23
True Lacrosse: Sept 8-9, 16

- PLAY LACROSSE WITH YOUR FRIENDS! Does your child have a friend that's interested in lacrosse, but concerned they wouldn't be placed on their team? The U8, U10 & U12 levels will not be tiered into A & B teams (all U12 teams will play at the ‘B’ level in 2018). What does this mean? Nearly all buddy requests can be accommodated!
- SPIRIT WEAR! Order your St. Paul Lacrosse Apparel at the time of registration and have it guaranteed for delivery before the season starts!
- NEW TURF GAME/PRACTICE FIELD FOR 2018- Our association will be using the brand new turf field at Como Park High School for our summer practices and games. There’s actually parking and spectators won’t have to squint into the setting sun to try and watch games!
- WEEKENDS ARE FREE OF LACROSSE!- As in previous years, our association DOES NOT practice or play games Friday-Sunday after June 4th…with two exceptions: 1. The U8 age level may play some games on Sunday evenings depending on the YLM schedule. 2. Your child’s team makes it to the State Tournament at the end of July…which is a good thing!
