Enjoy your break! Maplewood Lacrosse does not schedule games or practices on Mothers Day, or during SOMSD Spring Break. If you are home for Memorial Day Weekend, join us as we march in the Parade! Just don't show up for a game. We won't be there.
FINANCIAL AID: We want to make sure every kid in our community who wants to play lacrosse gets that chance. If your family is receiving government assistance such as free lunch or experiencing financial distress, you may (confidentially) choose to waive the fees entirely or by 50% during registration. If you need the USA Lacrosse Membership fee waived and/or assistance with loaner equipment, please let us know and we will help.
WEATHER 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.
