Season in Progress!

Get ready for an action-packed season with our Indoor Modified Box Lacrosse Program, designed for boys and girls in grades 1-8! This unique program introduces players to the exciting game of box lacrosse in a modified format that focuses on fun, skill-building, and teamwork with girls and boys playing on the same team together.

Our modified version of box lacrosse emphasizes learning the fundamentals of the game, including stick skills, shooting techniques, and defensive strategies, all while encouraging sportsmanship and collaboration. The smaller indoor environment allows for more touches on the ball and faster-paced play, giving every player the opportunity to grow their skills in a dynamic, high-energy setting.

Whether you're new to lacrosse or have some experience, this program is tailored to help you improve, make new friends, and enjoy the thrill of the game! Players will participate in exciting drills, friendly competition, and small-sided games that promote both individual development and team play.

Program Highlights:

• Open to boys and girls in grades 1-8 from beginners to experienced lacrosse players 
• Played with boys lacrosse pads, helmet and stick (ELA has loaner equipment for girls)
• The game is played on small fields with walls (like hockey rinks), 5v5 plus goalie format (4v4 plus goalie for 8U ), quick player rotations, and every player plays a midfielder role (more info on box lacrosse can be found here: https://www.edinalacrosse.com/boxlacrosse)
• Modified Box Lacrosse rules mean: no cross checking, 5v5 change on the fly, no “hot” rule, and no O.T. shoot-out for games tied at end of regulation play.
• Focus on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship
• Fun and fast-paced indoor play with more ball touches
• Experienced coaches providing personalized instruction and guidance

Join us for a season of learning, growth, and excitement as we introduce you to the world of modified box lacrosse! Sign up today!

USA LACROSSE MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED

A current USA Lacrosse Membership is required for all programs. When registering, our system validates USA Lacrosse Memberships. When registering, please ensure your player's name, zip code, and date of birth match the information in your USA Lacrosse Membership or may not be able to complete the registration due to membership validation problems.

To stay up to date on the latest local club and clinic offerings, follow us on Instagram @EDINAYOUTHLACROSSE 

If your player is interested in even more lacrosse experience throughout the year, they may be interested in playing  with a club lacrosse team in addition to their Edina Lacrosse Association team. Many clubs have their tryouts starting mid-to-late July and into early August with additional tryout opportunities throughout the year. Visit our Club/Travel Teams page for details and links to clubs in the area.

Girls K-14U and Boys 8U-14U require full lacrosse gear.   Click on one of the images to learn more about gear requirements.

**Hockey pads and helmets may not be used for any of our lacrosse programs. Like most lacrosse associations, our insurance is provided through USA Lacrosse. USA Lacrosse mandates that we use lacrosse specific helmets and pads and will deny coverage should an injury occur while wearing non-compliant helmet and gear. ***

Game officials are staffed by UMLOA (Upper Midwest Lacrosse Officials Association).  UMLOA is looking to add officials!    They have a great training program, plus flexible scheduling.
