our teams

In 2023-24 Bay Lacrosse had over 170 girls and boys playing on six teams in three grade divisions. The Girls and Boys Middle School teams are for 7th and 8th graders; the Boys and Girls Youth teams are for 5th and 6th graders; and the Boys and Girls Bantam teams are for 3rd and 4th graders. This was the fifth year for our Bantam Girls team, and we were very excited to have nearly 30 lax players on that team... we have the largest Bantam Girls program in Northern Ohio! 

To maximize playing time at the Middle School and Youth levels, each team is usually split into two squads for tournaments and head-to-head games. Bantam teams play a smaller-sided game, and the number of teams will depend on the number of players registered.

Spring is the primary lacrosse season for Boys and Girls. However, Registration opens in the Fall with indoor practices starting in December. New players are introduced to the fundamental skills and rules, and older players sharpen their skills and further their lacrosse IQ. By the time games start in late March or April, most of our teams have had between 12 and 20+ practices. Games run thru late May with various head-to-head games and tournaments. Bay Lacrosse also sponsors clinics, practices and all ages, co-ed pick-up games during the Summer. Some kids also play on Premier or Select teams in the Summer and Fall.

Bay Lacrosse is a founding member of the Northern Ohio Lacrosse League. NOLL members work together to help develop the game in Northern Ohio and to host a tournament.
