Registration Listing

2020 Spring Lacrosse NYAA - GLL

Lacrosse for boys and girls Grades 2nd through 8th. Experienced 1st graders should register for the 2nd - 8th grade program. Teams will be assigned after registration.

Norcross Youth Lacrosse plays spring lacrosse in the Gwinnett Lacrosse League (GLL).

The Sticklets (girls) and Junior Laxers (boys) are programs for new players (grades K-1st) that are offered at a lower price and with less of a time commitment. These players meet once a week for two hours. During that time they are broken up into smaller groups and run drills designed to teach them skills for playing lacrosse. At the end of the session, they are split into teams and the get to play in scrimmages. For these early/new players we believe that practices focused on skill development while keeping the players involved with smaller group sizes and lower coach to player ratios, will lead to better long term players and more engagement over time.
