2025 Box Lacrosse Registration
GRAAFall Box Lacrosse League – Sunday Afternoons This Fall!
Get ready for fast-paced, high-energy lacrosse action right here in Glen Ridge!
This fall, we’re launching the first-ever Glen Ridge Box Lacrosse League — a great opportunity for players to sharpen their skills, stay active, and compete in a fun, fast-paced environment. Whether you’re preparing for the spring season or just love the game, box lacrosse is the perfect way to elevate your play. No prior experience necessary!
League Details
- When: September 21 – December 14 (Sunday afternoons)
- Where: Glen Ridge Carteret Rink
- Who: Boys & Girls, Grades 3–8
- Format: The season will begin with a Safety & Rules Clinic and practice sessions to introduce players to box lacrosse. Games will start in early October.
- Coaches: GRHS Girls & Boys Lacrosse players, with support from the GRHS Boys Lacrosse coaching staff
Additional Info
- Teams will be determined after registration, based on total numbers.
- Rib pads and bicep pads are recommended for boys.
- This season opens the door for girls participation in box lacrosse. Depending on community interest, we hope to have both padded and non-padded options. Women’s box lacrosse is played with helmets, pads, and boys’ sticks—the same format used when Team USA won the first Women’s Box Lacrosse World Championship last year. Players choosing the padded route can borrow gear from siblings/friends or purchase from All Lacrosse. Please contact Coach Sicoli if interested.
- For girls who prefer to use the same stick and equipment they use in the spring, we’ll focus on sharpening skills directly applicable to field lacrosse.
- Registration Fee: $100 (includes jersey)

Philosophy
There are no cuts in GRAA Lacrosse. Children develop differently and at different ages, so we believe it is important to welcome all players into our program. If they are willing to put in the practice and hard work, they will find a way onto the field. The goal is to provide fair playing time for all players throughout the season, however, playing time will vary from game to game, quarter to quarter and depending on the situation. We do not believe in cuts to accommodate an optimal roster size. As such, we allow our coaches to schedule additional “JV” games should they have more than 19 players on their roster to ensure ample playing time for all players. Our coaches are volunteer parents who have mostly played in high school and often at high levels of NCAA Lacrosse. All coaches are required to have USA Lacrosse (the governing body of lacrosse in the US) training and certification.
