WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GIRLS LAX FOR SPRING 2012
Fort Hunt Girls Lacrosse Registration is open. Our program is intended to serve girls in grades Pre-K through 8th (and some in 9th). Here are our program offerings:
SCOOPERS -- This is for Pre-K and K aged girls. The program is 5 weeks long at a cost of $60. Our goal is very basic lacrosse fundamentals, and above all...FUN!
1st/2nd GRADE HOUSE LEAGUE -- Our House League is 8 weeks long (concurrent with the older girls' program) at a cost of $170. Goals here again are basic fundamentals and introduction to field and team play. House League means that all games are played locally at Sandburg MS (no travel!).
3rd-8th GRADE NVYLL LEAGUE PLAY -- Our 3rd-8th grade players will be placed on teams based on their age group, then division. Age groups are 3rd/4th, 5th/6th and 7th/8th. Within those age groups, there will be A, B and C level of play depending on the skills and experience of the player. All teams will represent Fort Hunt within the Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League, which consists of an 8 game season (and playoffs). Half of all games will be played away from Sandburg. Cost is $170.
For those players in grades 3-8, we will conduct our annual player evaluations on Saturday, February 4. We hope that all players will participate in the evaluation process so that we can find the best fit possible for every one of them.
In preparation for the player evaluations, it is our intention to host two Frostbite Clinics (at no charge) on January 21 and 28 (times and dates may change) to be held at Sandburg MS.
Team selection will happen in the 10 days following evaluations, then teams will gather for practices in late February.
Games will be held on Sundays beginning March 25 and ending May 20 (week of Easter off). Playoffs will be held the 2 weekends following Memorial Day (full schedule below). Scoopers will meet on April 15, 22, 29, May 6 and 13.
Fort Hunt Lacrosse derives its strength and success from parent participation. We cannot maintain a quality program (the largest in Northern Virginia) without your help. We need coaches, team uniform parents, team parents, and a myriad of other volunteer positions filled. You will be asked to volunteer for specific duties in your registration process. HOWEVER, if you are interested in coaching (either Head or Assistant), we would very much like to know that as soon as possible. If you would like to learn more about it, or if you are a returning coach and plan to coach again next spring, we need for you to contact our Coach Coordinator, Chip Gately immediately. He can be reached at
