Queen Anne Boys Lacrosse Club Home Page


This is the official web site of the Queen Anne Boys Lacrosse Club, Seattle, Washington. Our mission is to coordinate and facilitate all activities related to the Queen Anne Boys Lacrosse Club, and to honor the game by instilling the values of scholastic achievement, sportsmanship, teamwork, and individual development.



Announcements

REGULAR SEASON REGISTRATION
Registration for the 2011 Spring Season will occur in late October or November. Practices start in February, games begin the first week of March. The last games occur around the second or third week of May.



General Information

Queen Anne Boys Lacrosse Club is comprised of the following teams, each limited to 24 players:

  • 3rd/4th Grade
  • 5th/6th Grade
  • 7th/8th Grade

Practices are typically two evenings during the week for the 5/6 and 7/8 teams, and twice a week as well for the 3/4 team. Our home field is Queen Anne Bowl.  In previous years, the 3/4 team has practiced on a separate field, but last year most of the practices were conducted on the grass portion of Queen Anne Bowl. 

Each player is expected to have their own gear, including a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, athletic protector cup, and a lacrosse stick.  The  club may have gear to loan - depending upon availability.

Games are on Saturdays. Our home field is Queen Anne Bowl. Practices start in February, games begin the first week of March. This year, the last games will occur around the first of June. We won't know the specific practice schedule until the Parks Department finallizes field assignments.

The 3/4 and 5/6 leagues are generally oriented towards the development of skills and knowledge of the game. No records or standings are kept for games. Everyone plays all positions. The 7/8 league is more competitive, but the emphasis is still towards development of both individual and team skills.

Prior lacrosse experience is not necessary for any level.

Because of the limited space available on our teams, and the large number of players who are turned away every season, players are expected to make a reasonably full commitment to attending all practices and games. Players who do not have the ability to make this level of commitment will be asked to forfeit their roster space for use by another player willing to make the commitment to the program.

Information is posted below for clubs in other neighborhoods and for the girls lacrosse teams based on Queen Anne.




Registration and Team Formation Guidelines

There is tremendous interest in Youth Lacrosse in the Seattle Area. We would love to include every single interested player, but we unfortunately cannot expand our program beyond the number of players and teams we currently have. This is primarily due to the limited availability of practice and game fields. While our philosophy is to serve players within or near the Queen Anne Community, we are also committed to being proactive in assisting individuals in other areas of the City of
Seattle to develop similar programs.

Returning players will be given first preference in the registration process. Depending upon space available, registration will be open for new players, with the following structure:

  • Registration will be first come – first served.
  • Preference will be made for new players from the Queen Anne community.
  • All teams will be compiled by the Queen Anne Boys Lacrosse Club in it’s sole and absolute discretion.
* A US Lacrosse membership number will be required to complete registration. Memberships are available at www.uslacrosse.org. Registrations will not be considered complete without confirmation of membership - NO exceptions.
