We’re excited to kick off another great year of lacrosse for players of all skill levels, focused on development, competition, and fun. We can’t wait to get back on the field!

New for 2026! 

Participation in GNLL Spring League in addition to the regular summer leage (YLM for boys, MSLax for Girls): Boys and girls teams will participate in the GNLL Spring League, giving players additional game experience and helping teams hit the ground running as we head into the summer season. This added spring competition is designed to build confidence, sharpen skills, and better prepare our athletes for summer league play (YLM for boys, MSLax for girls).

New Uniforms! Our uniform coordinators have been hard at work creating an exciting new uniform for the season ahead. Make sure to order your uniform after you register! 

We have programs for Boys and Girls in grades K-8. To see all of our program offerings and to register:

Stay tuned for our next one in August!

Our Try Lax clinics are geared towards first-time players and those with limited experience who want to try lacrosse before committing to a full season.

• Grades K- 8 attendees will be introduced to the fundamentals of throwing, catching, scooping, cradling, and other basic skills.  
• The goal of the event is for players to learn about lacrosse in a fun, low-pressure environment.
• Lacrosse sticks will be provided, but you may bring your own

Hello ELA Families,

We’re excited to share that Braemar Dome, in partnership with Edina Lacrosse Association (ELA), has designated several Open Dome times for lacrosse players to use the field for individual practice and informal play.

Important details:

• These hours are reserved specifically for lacrosse activities.
• The track remains open to the public, so field setup is limited (see image below for guidelines on shooting protocol).
• ELA strongly recommends wearing headgear or eye protection.
• A $5 drop-in user fee applies, or you may use a Braemar season pass.

Braemar may publish additional open times as availability allows. You can view their most up-to-date schedule here:

2/16 4-6pm

2/17 1:30-3:30pm

3/3 1:30-3:30pm

4/10 12-2pm

This is a great opportunity for players to get extra stick time during the winter months. We hope to see many of you out at the Dome!

Best regards,

Edina Lacrosse Association

Please remember to follow onsite guidelines for shooting setup or pass/catching.

All players in the 6U age group and above are required to order a new uniform for the 2026 season. Boys must order a boys jersey and shorts, and girls must order a girls jersey and skirt. Total cost for each uniform set is $70.
