New Player Registration is OPEN Click on Registration Link

The charge has been led by the private schools in the area, such as 16-time State Champion St. Andrews School in Boca Raton and perennial powers Gulliver Prep and Pine Crest.  Other high school programs have been popping up prolifically throughout the state.  The demand has driven the Florida High School Athletic Association to officially “sanction” the sport of lacrosse and Broward, Dade, Palm Beach and Martin Counties are all on board.  Varsity programs now exist in many of Florida’s high schools including local high schools such as St. Thomas, Archbishop McCarthy, South Plantation, American Heritage, Western, Cypress Bay, Pines Charter,  West Broward and Cooper City. 

PROGRAM INFORMATION

The program is organized and run by the Davie Youth Lacrosse Foundation, Inc., a 501.c.3 charitable organization.  Davie Youth Lacrosse is a "travel" recreation program with focus on giving players of all skill levels a quality learning experience and lots of fun playing lacrosse.  The players will be taught  improved agility, conditioning, team work and respect for the game and other players as well as the finer points of playing lacrosse.   Our 2012 season will run from late January to the end of April.  We will field both boys and girls teams, Kindergarten through 8th grade.  Practices are 2 nights per week with games on Saturdays.
