 Welcome to
Crofton Girls Lacrosse updated 2/19/2010 Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. Crofton Girls’ Lacrosse has grown so quickly in the past decade that we are now the third largest lacrosse council in Anne Arundel County! We are proud of the advancements we have made. Our program is dedicated to teaching the game of lacrosse to girls from kindergarten through eighth grade and promoting teamwork and sportsmanship to all involved. We promise that you will have lots of fun while also learning the techniques and strategies that make lacrosse such an exhilarating sport! REGISTRATIONFor the 2010 season, we anticipate even greater growth in the program and will make all attempts to accommodate everyone. HOWEVER, we CANNOT GUARANTEE a roster spot for every player as we need to keep team sizes at manageable levels to ensure equal playing time. THEREFORE, please do not wait until the last minute to register your daughter as she may be placed on a wait list. REGISTRATION TAKES PLACE FROM JANUARY 1 THROUGH JANUARY 31, 2010. ELIGIBILTY AND FEESSTICKLETTE: (Kindergarten, first, and second graders): $60.00 Eligible players: Grades K, 1, and 2. Girls born from January – March 2002 have a choice: they may play Sticklette or Pee Wee.". COUNTY COMPETITION PEE WEE: (Third and fourth graders): $90.00 This is the first level of “county” play. Practices begin in early to mid-March and are held at Crofton Middle School. You MUST BE 8 BY APRIL 1ST in order to play Pee Wee. There is no checking at this level, and scores are not recorded in this 8 v 8 format. The big change from Sticklette is the addition of goalkeepers. Games are played on various fields throughout the county (home games at Crofton Middle School) on weekends with some games played during the week. The focus will continue to be on skill building. Young ladies in 3rd and 4th grades are eligible. Players born in 2002 (second graders) must have a January, February, or March birthday. If this is you, the computer may not accept your registration, so you should mail it in and it will be approved. MIDGETS: (Fifth and sixth graders): $90.00 The “Middies” play 12 v 12 around the county on weekends and during the week. While the focus is always on skill-building, this level is broken into three divisions: A, B, and C. As such, players will be placed by ability. There is modified (below the shoulder) stick checking at this level. Athletes in 5th and 6th grade are eligible. Attendance at more than 1 placement session is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. JUNIORS: (Seventh and eighth graders): $90.00 Full stick checking is allowed, and teams are leveled by ability in 12 v 12 games played around the county. As with the Middies, this level is broken into A, B, and C divisions, and players will be placed by ability. Attendance at more than 1 placement session is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. SENIORS: (Ninth through twelfth graders): We do not field Senior teams. If your daughter is in high school and not playing for her high school team, there IS a senior league in Anne Arundel County. For more information, please go to: www.glaaac.org ***A word about “playing up:” Players may play up provided they attend ALL of the proper placements, and the evaluators feel the athlete does not pose a safety issue. Additionally, a player will not be moved up if they will be taking a spot from a properly aged player. The ultimate decision for players to play up rests with the Commissioner and the evaluators. EQUIPMENTALL players MUST have a girls lacrosse stick (stringed, no mesh), goggles, and a mouthguard (may NOT be attached to goggles and MUST NOT be white or clear). Cleats are optional but strongly recommended. Uniform tops will be provided in exchange for a $25 check made out to CAC and dated 06/01/10, which will be returned to you once the top is returned to the coach at the end of the season. Kilts are $25. IMPORTANT DATESJanuary 1 through January 31, 2010: Registration (late registration may NOT be guaranteed, and there will be a $25 fee).
