US1 Lacrosse League

About the League

The US1 Lacrosse League is a not for profit high school lacrosse league designed to give high school age boys in northwest St. Johns County the opportunity to play lacrosse during the off season on a non-school team.  US1 Lacrosse League was developed using direction from the FHSAA Handbook (see policy 22 below).  The league, its coaches and players are affiliated with the national organization, US Lacrosse.  The participants in US1 Lacrosse League come from Bartram Trail, Creekside, and Nease High Schools. 

The league runs in periodic six to eight week sessions from the first week of May through the second week of January.  Practices focus on skill development and players are grouped with others based on their level of development.  On league game days, players are divided into 7-on-7 teams that provide the most competition and fun.  On game days players get the opportunity to try out different positions.

This is a recreational league designed to give players the opportunity to stay in shape and continue to build their skills.  Participation in the league is completely voluntary.  Players are not required to participate in this league in order to play lacrosse at their high school during the spring season.

Schedule

Practice days are typically Tuesdays and Thursdays.  League game days will typically be on the first and third Tuesday of each month.  Since many players are also participating in other sports or activities, attendance at 100% of the practices is not mandatory in order to play on game days. 

League Registration Fee

The cost to participate in the league is $100 per player for each session.  Details of the league costs will be provided upon request to parents of league participants.
