How do I get access to my team (roster, schedule, coach communications) information?

What is the Classic schedule for the spring?

Lacrosse typically starts in the first week of April and runs through to Early June.  In February/March we typically get game schedule information from Mass Youth Lacrosse.  Once we get that we communicate to parents about schedules.  If the season is underway or your are on a Select team, please consult the Demosphere app OR your coaches.

My son has never played lacrosse, what program is right for him?

• Our mission is to introduce lacrosse to players of all skill levels.  We absolutely encourage your son to join at any age.  The Classic Program is the best place to start and get some exposure.  As your child advances in skill and excitement, Select would be a great option.  

Where are the practices?

• Each coach will reach out to their respective teams to coordinate locations.  However, the vast majority of practices happen on town fields around Marblehead.  

When does the lacrosse season start?

• Depending on the conditions of the fields we will start during the month of March.  

Are you looking for coaches and volunteers?

• We are always looking for help from parents.  Both to coach and assist with coordination.  All coaches will need to register through demosphere and go through a few compliance items listed below:
