The Maplewood Lacrosse Club purpose is to provide a fun, positive environment where Kindergarteners - 8th graders of all skill levels can discover the JOY of lacrosse.
We believe sports are much more than a game. Sports help us build character, create lasting friendships, and become a bigger part of a community.
Our volunteer coaches are passionate about teaching young athletes the age-appropriate skills and strategies needed to compete while emphasizing the values of lacrosse like teamwork and respect.
We are committed to respecting the game’s roots and fostering a long-lasting appreciation for the Creator's game. Good sportsmanship, playing and coaching with class, and growing our strong community of players, coaches, and supporters who exemplify these values are essential to the Maplewood Lacrosse culture.

WE BELIEVE LACROSSE IS A GIFT THAT EVERY KID SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO ENJOY
Maplewood Lacrosse Club wants to make one thing a little easier for families who are in need of financial assistance. To reduce fees by 50% or remove fees entirely, families will have the opportunity to check off a box during registration. If you need the USA Lacrosse Membership fee waived and/or assistance with loaner equipment, please let us know.
Every purchase you make supports our program, especially when you purchase MLC gear for less at the tent!
Fundraisers like these help us replace broken goals and nets, buy better goalie equipment, and keep us up to date with the latest safety equipment.
Most team store items arrive in 7-10 days.
Thank you to all the coaches, players & families
who made our 2026 season a success!
If you are new to Maplewood Lacrosse Club, and want to stay in the loop, sign up here.
We very seriously believe the best and healthiest athletes also enjoy other sports & activities they love, especially during the off-seasons. So please have fun playing Football and Soccer and Hoops and Theater and Hockey or whatever Fall & Winter Activity you love. We'll be here for you once SPRING starts.
But that doesn't mean you have to let your stick get rusty...
Did you know? An assist and a goal are each worth 1 point when it comes to player stats. It's all about teamwork.
Spring is Recreational Lacrosse Season
Maplewood Lacrosse Club is the Recreational lacrosse program serving Maplewood and South Orange. We are a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. The club has been providing Maplewood and South Orange athletes the opportunity to play and learn lacrosse at the recreational level and compete against other recreational town teams in the area since 1957. We are affiliated with the sport’s national governing body, USA Lacrosse and are members of the New Jersey Junior Lacrosse League which means each year our 8th grade team competes against other NJJLL teams for the 8th grade championship.
All of our volunteer coaches are certified by USA Lacrosse, increasingly at the highest level. This certification requires coaches to pass a background check and includes not only training in lacrosse and its rules but also abuse prevention, cardiac care, concussion protocol and cultural competency. *USA Lacrosse training does not include CPR and First AID certification.
Lacrosse is played in hot, cold and all too often in rainy weather (as long as fields are not closed), but of course we would never play in any kind of dangerous weather.
