Note: You must register with the town you reside in first; Hinesburg, Shelburne, Charlotte or Williston, so that the town gets the numbers needed to offer a program.

Lacrosse is a fast paced sport that combines the power of football and hockey and the endurance, agility and strategy of soccer and basketball. The program focuses on individual and team concepts in a fun and learning environment.
As one of the teams comprising the Northern Vermont Youth Lacrosse League (NVTYLL), Lacrosse provides youth the opportunity to learn and play in a positive and safe environment.
