Everett Lacrosse Club offers recreational youth lacrosse for boys in grades K through 8th. Each grade grouping outlined below develops skills building for the next level. Each level graduates in skill, equipment, contact, and applicable rule adjustments.

We have a collaborative approach to coaching at all levels from High School down to K-2. All of our youth coaches are volunteers and have a minimum USA Lacrosse Level 1 Certification with PCA (Positive Coaching Alliance) training. Each coach is insured, undergoes a background screening and completes abuse prevention training. 

Youth games are played locally and throughout the North Sound area with North Sound Youth Lacrosse member teams, using USA Lacrosse rules and NSYL amended rules.

Everett Lacrosse is a member of North Sound Youth Lacrosse (NSYL).  The league determines player eligibility, creates the game schedules each season, and trains and provides referees.

Our youth program draws from athletes residing within the boundaries of the Everett School District (Map).  This includes public, private and homeschool students, as well as those attending school beyond the district's borders.

Registration

Please visit our Program Information page for current pricing and registration instructions.

Tournament play is offered for teams at the K2 level and up. Most tournaments follow the USA Lacrosse "U" convention for team registration (U10, U14, etc.) so reorganizing our grade-level teams may be necessary in order to field a competitive team.

Our tournament weekends are highly anticipated by our families and players, and are a memorable and amazing bonding experience for our teams.

Registration for tournament events are included in your Spring Registration fees, unless stated otherwise.

Travel and lodging (if needed) are not covered, though ELC may reserve blocks of hotel rooms for families to book.

Our 3rd - 8th grade players purchase and own their uniform. New or replacement uniforms are offered during registration as an additional fee. Tops and shorts can be ordered separately.

Our uniforms consist of a high quality sublimated reversible tank top and ELC branded Nike shorts. The uniforms should be purchased on the larger size so your player can get 2 or 3 years use out of them.

Kindergarten to 2nd grade players do not need to buy a uniform. ELC with provide a uniform for the season, which must be returned at end of the season.

Players are generally responsible for their own equipment. New and used equipment is available from a variety of local and online vendors.

ELC offers free equipment rental for first-year players, and a limited rental program for returning players.
