REgistration FAQs.

When does Registration open? Registration for the Spring Season opens in September. We encourage early registration so the number of teams can be planned out quicker, parents don't forget to register their player and for parents to take advantage of an early registration discount. 

What does the registration fee cover? Registration fee covers uniforms, practices, field rentals, IBLA League fee and the end-of-season tournament. 

When does Registration close? Registration closes just before Spring season games begin. All fees must be paid (or a payment plan established) before the first game of the season.

What is the refund policy? All refunds must be requested in writing warrenlaxcommunications@gmail.com prior to the first scheduled game of the season. No refunds will be given after the first schedule game of the season regardless of whether the player participated in the game or not.

Pre-Season Activities.

Open Gym sessions occur in January and February on Sunday Evenings at the Warren O'Plaine High School Field House. These sessions are FREE to all attendees. This is the perfect time for new players to try out lacrosse! WALA coaches will lead players through drills to develop and sharpen their skills to prepare for the Spring season. We have used pads, helmets and sticks for new players to use (as stock is available). A reminder email will be sent multiple times prior and during these sessions. Please sign up for these and all WALA communications by clicking HERE.

Spring Teams.

As part of the IBLA, WALA fields teams that best match the skill and experience level of our players. The IBLA has multiple levels within each age group. This allows us to field competitive teams based on the make-up of each team. The B-level teams are generally made up of players with multiple years of lacrosse experience for the division. The C-level teams are for developmental teams where the majority of players are new to lacrosse. Team placement for Spring lacrosse involves coaches and IBLA and occurs in March.

Spring Season Info.

WALA begins the Spring Season with a Parent Kick Off Meeting. This meeting provides all the information the WALA board and coaches know about the upcoming season. We highly encourage attending this meeting so that you are well informed and can ask any further questions you may have. New uniform designs (distributed every 2 years) are presented as wells as Team Picture Day and much more. 

Practices begin in March usually right after the Open Gyms. Practices are 2-3 days per week. The days and times are determined by each teams' coaches. Practices are located on the fields behind the Warren O'Plaine High School football stadium (due to field lighting needed for the early Spring practices).

Spring season games occur during April and May and are mostly on the weekends. Due to the uncertainty of Spring weather, make up games may be scheduled for some weekday nights. Warren Youth Lacrosse home games are played on the Warren O'Plaine High School football turf field or the practiced fields behind the stadium if the turf field is not available.

The IBLA End-of-Season tournament is scheduled for the first weekend of June. Your team's standing in the tournament is based on your Spring season standing. Trophies are given to the top teams of each division.

We have a great line-up of coaches who are all volunteers. Like all youth sports organizations, we are always looking for coaches who are willing to offer their valuable time and leadership. There is no need to know much about lacrosse. You will join an impressive club of parent coaches who made the jump and became outstanding lacrosse coaches. More importantly, they had a positive impact on our young athletes. If you are interested, contact your coach or click on Contact Us at the top of the page.
