East Bay Bristol County Lacrosse Association is a developmental lacrosse program for boys and girls in the East Bay area of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We serve: Barrington, Bristol, Warren, Riverside, Seekonk, Swansea, Somerset and Rehoboth.
Tryouts continue for the Girls Grade 5/6 & 7/8 Competitive Teams THIS THURSDAY, February 11th!
Only players interested in the competitive team should attend. If you are WAITLISTED but are interested in the Competitive Team, you SHOULD attend! It is recommended that players attend BOTH SESSIONS.
Girls in grades 5 & 6 are from 5-6pm ---Girls in grades 7 & 8 are from 6-7pm.
Players need to arrive at least 10 minutes early to sign in at the table and gear up to start on time.
RETURNING PLAYERS MUST BRING THE NUMBER ASSIGNED LAST WEEK.
The board is already working on teams and you will be notified by February 15th.
To remove players from the waitlist a number of factors are reviewed; field availability, team size and coaching staff. Most important of all these are if we have enough coaches to support another team at the level your child is waitlisted at.
Please let us know if you are interested in helping to coach. We can’t do it without you! The continued growth of youth lacrosse rests largely on our ability to attract, develop and maintain a dedicated and engaged group of coaches. We have extensive support to offer all coaches from the most experienced to those who have never been on the sideline.
East Bay Lacrosse wants to sends you to “lacrosse school”!
EBLAX encourages all coaches to attend the US Lacrosse Level 1 Training Clinic and will pay your registration fees. This year we will be registering coaches for the March 6th clinic. All Level 1 Certified Coaches receive 1 free child registration as well!
