We're excited you have decided to join the Southeast Valley Lacrosse family. We think lacrosse is the best sport out there, and we want to help make sure you agree by making the "getting started phase" a little easier.
​
Step 1: If you haven't already signed up, you first need to register to be a member of USA Lacrosse. It is required for insurance purposes to play in both league and tournament games. It is an annual $30 fee. Save your USA Lacrosse membership number, as it is needed to register to play for Southeast Valley Lacrosse.

Step 4: You may be wondering what the heck is this sport called lacrosse. Don't worry! We've all been there, and you'll have it figured out in no time. USA Lacrosse is a great resource to help you understand the basic rules and terminology and the differences between the girls game and the boys game. Learn about the girls game here, and the boys game here.
​
Step 5: Attending practices and games. Plan ahead to attend all practices and games. It is important for player development, learning team drills and concepts, and being a good teammate. If you can not attend a practice or game please let the team manager​ or coaches know in advance. In addition to attendance, come to practice a little early so you have time to put on your gear and are ready to play. Also, please remove all jewelry before all practices and games. We know it is stylish, but this is a USA Lacrosse rule designed to help prevent injury as this is a physical sport.
​
You will need to bring to every practice and game:
All required gear (see above)
Pennie (uniform)
Plenty of water
​
Step 5: Have fun!! If you still have questions, please reach out to any of the staff. We'll see you on the fields.
