New changes to our 14U program as of 2025!
1) Evaluation process has changed- instead of a fixed 2 day evaluation, non-parent coaches will evaluate players during April and May practices, providing evaluation and feedback for all players. Our coaches recognize that this is a better way for the players to be placed appropriately. Team placement will be announced by May 18th at the latest.
2) We will be offering pre-season clinics in March. Register early so you can make the March clinics!
ALL SKILL LEVELS WELCOME FROM BEGINNER TO ADVANCED!
All players will placed be on a team - generally we have 1, 14UA team and 1-2, 14UB teams.
Teams generally practice 2 weeknights per week. Some coaches may schedule extra weeknight practices depending on game schedules and coaches/players availability.
League play is anticipated to start as early as June 2, and end the last week of July. Games are played on weeknight evenings Monday through Thursday with about half the games being AWAY games. 12U State Tournament games run through the weekend of July 26-27.
A local weekend tournament is also planned June 6-8 in Shakopee. And we may have some opportunities for a few weekend scrimmages as we gear up for the season. See more details below about tournaments.
If your player is new to lacrosse and wants to learn the skills but not participate in competitive game play, being a Practice Player might be an option for him. Keep in mind, though, that we have several new players at all age levels, so it’s definitely OK to be a beginner as a regular season player. Please contact VP of Boys (vpboys@edinalacrosse.com) if interested in the Practice Player option. Registration fee is adjusted for Practice Players.
