Fall Season: September - November; 2 - 3x per month

Winter Season: OPTIONAL / Not included in membership December - March; 2 - 3x per month

Spring Season: We are shut down while kids play for their town or high schools!

Summer Season: Early June - Mid July, our busiest season! 2 - 3 Practices per week and additional tournaments.Grades 3 - 5: Fall / Summer Membership OR Summer Membership Only

In essence, our girls play a light season in Fall, two practices a month, and there are optional tournaments for them. Then they break for their High School / Middle School season and come back in June when we practice 2x a week until August. A HS player will play in the top three tournaments in the country, as far as competition goes and recruiting opportunities. MS players will play in competitive, but also fun tournaments where we feel they will be exposed to the sport in a way that will allow them to learn, compete and enjoy lacrosse.

Please do not let that stop you from joining Nor’easter Lacrosse. We will work with your schedule, especially in the fall, and come up with an alternative date for you to join us. However, the membership rate will remain the same for the current season no matter when you join. Refunds are not available at ANY time as we pre-pay all tournament fees and coaching fees based on your daughter’s attendance.

Yes, absolutely! The Nor’easter Lacrosse coaching staff believes that some of the best lacrosse players are well-rounded, multi-sport athletes. There are mandatory tournaments and practices in the fall but we are more than willing to work around someone who is fulfilling their other sports commitment. Of course, that being said we are an elite club team and our athletes will dedicate themselves to become better lacrosse players through hard work and practice. We certainly understand that attendance at all events is hardly realistic and not expected, but would like each player who commits to Nor’easter Lacrosse, to remember practice makes perfect.

Registration for tournaments starts in the Fall / Winter of each season and continues through the spring. We will have a better idea of which tournaments will be mandatory, depending on what we are accepted into, however, a list of what we intend to be mandatory is listed in your membership sign-up. Please refer to the team events and events schedule for those tournaments we are anticipating to be mandatory.

You are expected to attend all mandatory tournaments. Events are paid for by Nor’easter 8+ months in advance with every member accounted for, therefore we adhere to a strict no refund policy.

Individual cases of extreme sudden illness will be dealt with on an individual basis, and the proper action will be determined by the directors in rare cases.

Yes. You have to pay a tournament entry fee ($175.00 - $250.00 for Mandatory Tournaments and less for One Day Optional Tournaments), which includes administrative fees and coaching fees, for each tournament/event. Additionally, travel and hotels are the responsibility of each member attending the tournament. However, Nor’easter Lacrosse will suggest area hotels for all mandatory tournaments and block off rooms at a group rate.

No, you can choose the events you want to attend unless stated that it is mandatory. Believe me, once you become a part of Nor’easter you will never want to miss it! For you, high school players, remember, the more tournaments you attend, the more chemistry you will have with your teammates, and the better you will perform for the college coaches.

Yes, you can play! First and foremost, the most important rule is that your permanent residence must be within 50 miles of New Haven for our staff to be able to coach you as per NCAA rules. If you are unsure if you are within this distance please contact us. Once you satisfy that requirement, we are confident that you will be able to attend all of our practices and if you have any specific questions, please contact us. Laura Field went to the Taft School, so don’t hold that against her!

Sorry, the Nor’easter road ends after the Summer of your Junior Year of High School concludes.

Nor’easter Lacrosse is committed to providing each player with the things necessary to compete. However, we will also have some extra custom gear for the parents and players to buy and enjoy throughout the year. Ask us if you have specific lacrosse gear needs and we are always willing to help find deals and discounts. In addition, the mandatory summer tournaments have stellar vendors!
