ELIGIBILITY

Players must be residents of Maplewood or South Orange to register for Maplewood Lacrosse Club (MLC) programs. 

USA Lacrosse uses a player's school grade (not age) to determine which team a kid should play on.   Under no circumstances can players compete at a level below their current school grade. 

MLC programs serve grades K-8. Boys in grades K-2 are eligible to register for our 6 week “Little Laxer” spring clinic.   This year, Second Graders can opt-in to play with the Sunday Scrimmagers, where they can play 3-4 scrimmages against other towns after the clinic.   Players in grades 3-8 are eligible for league play where we compete against other towns' recreational teams.

MLC participates in the New Jersey Junior Lacrosse League (NJJLL). Players may play for only one program at a time in the NJJLL.

MLC is affiliated with USA Lacrosse, the national governing body for lacrosse. A current USA Lacrosse Youth Membership is required for participation in all MLC programs as it provides on-the-field insurance coverage, among other benefits. Annual enrollment must be completed as part of the MLC online registration process.

For detailed player eligibility guidelines at the league level, see the NJJLL League Rules & Regulations guide.
