A: Our Spring season consists of a month of pre-season practices at least once a week in February and weekly games along with practices beginning in March and running through the tournament Memorial Day weekend.
Games begin either the last weekend in February or the first weekend in March. Games are usually on Saturdays and Sundays, sometimes on Fridays and rarely but occasionally other days of the week, depending if rainout makeups are needed. We won't know specific team schedules until the 2nd or 3rd week in February.
Lacrosse is an all-weather sport so we will practice or play rain or shine when allowed by the field administrators.
