Other Information: Inform us if you are registered or intend to register for another program. This is HIGHLY discouraged, but occasionally may be justified. We will coordinate our registration information closely with Magnolia, North Seattle, and Central Seattle. If you register for two separate teams, we will know about it. If this is done without our approval, you will not be given priority for a roster spot with the Queen Anne team, and decisions regarding any refund of registration fees will be made at our sole discretion.
Scholarships: If you would like to request a scholarship for all or part of the registration fees, simply contact us. Do not use the Sportability Registration system. We offer full and partial scholarships. Simply make a request. We also have a limited amount of gear to loan to players.
The Parent/Guardian and Player Code of Conduct Agreement (included in the registration form file) is required to be submitted with the Registration Form. Also required is the Concussion Information Sheet, which also must be signed and returned. The inclusion of this information is required by the recently enacted Zackery Lystedt Law (House Bill 1824). More information regarding concussions is available at this link
Again, Players will NOT be allowed to play without the signed Concussion and Code of Conduct forms.
If you have a specific question regarding the structure of the program, or the registration process, contact us at qalacrosse@gmail.com.
LEAGUE CHANGES
This season we will be part of the new Seattle Metropolitan Youth Lacrosse Association (SMYLA). The most visible change from last year will be a more local schedule.
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 all teams. Our home practice field is
Queen Anne Bowl. We anticipate our practice times will be Tuesday and
Thursday evenings, subject to our field allocation from the Parks
Department.
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 game field is Queen Anne Bowl. Practices start in Mid-February, games begin around the first week of March. There are ten games total, scheduled through the third Saturday in May, with a break during the typical school Spring Break.
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.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.
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
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.
If you have lacrosse knowledge and are willing help, please contact us at qalacrosse@gmail.com. Even if you are completely new to lacrosse, we can use your help.
