Lacrosse is a fast-paced, contact sport that combines aspects of soccer, basketball, and hockey, all while using a stick. Players can be of any size or gender.  The game requires agility, coordination, and coachability. 

Lacrosse ( “LAX” for short) is one of the fastest growing sports in the nation, state, and especially at Warren Township High School. Warren Youth Lacrosse provide a Spring Lacrosse season within the Illinois Boys Lacrosse Association (IBLA). We organize activities outside the Spring season that are led by our group as well. We also encourage our players to join local Lacrosse Club teams to help improve their skills and game IQ. 

Warren Youth Lacrosse’s mission is to :

  • Provide a fun sport for grade school aged players 
  • Offer conditioning to keep your athlete in shape outside other sport seasons 
  • Build lacrosse skills for future Warren HS players
