***2021 SPRING LACROSSE REGISTRATION IS OPEN***

Alexandria Lacrosse League for Boys and Girls in Kindergarten thru Eighth Grade

(Boys Registration for 10U and 14U are CLOSED due to capacity.  All other registrations will be Open until 2/28)

Exciting News: We will be partnering with Arlington to offer a Little Scoopers program.  More information to come. And we will be offering Little Laxers to both boys and girls starting in Kindergarten.  

All skill levels welcome, including those who are brand new to the sport and want to learn how to play lacrosse in a fun, safe and structured environment.

PLEASE NOTE: We have planned the 2021 season for current COVID-19 numbers and mandates/policies but understand that we might have to make changes based on changing circumstances.  We ask for your patience and we will work to communicate with our ALC Community regularly.  Please see below for our current COVID policies.

As ALC did for the canceled 2020 season, if the season is cancelled in its entirety, ALC plans on refunding registration fees (less a processing fee to cover credit card expenses).  Our plan is to have a great 2021 season, however if the season is cancelled, our goal is to refund our families, however there are certain costs that are paid early in the season that we need to cover (NVYLL registration, field fees, insurance, etc).

All registered players are placed on a team within their age/grade division; most teams practice twice weekly at City of Alexandria fields; league games played on Saturdays (boys) and Sundays (girls).
