If your child tries out for a travel team and is placed on a house league team, a refund for the difference in program cost will be issued within 2 weeks of team placement.

**NEW for 2023**
5th - 8th House League program
Boys 5/6 and 7/8 House League will meet 3 times per week, offering a combination of fundamentals, rules, practice and scrimmage. Our mission is to provide players with a program that allows them to learn, grow in all areas of the sport and most importantly have fun in a positive, non-travel environment. The program will offer a variety of skill based games such as speed lacrosse, cross field small sided scrimmages and more, ensuring multiple reps and touches on the ball which is a priority for the development of youth lacrosse players. House League will provide healthy competition with occasional opportunities to play outside of our program.
ELIGIBILITY
All programs are for chidren in grades K-8 whose primary residence is in New Canaan, CT. The NCLA reserves the right to request a player's proof of residency at any time in which case a registered player's participation in any NCLA program is suspended until the NCLA Board is satisfied with an acceptable proof of residency.

2023 PRACTICE SCHEDULES

While NCLA makes an effort to coordinate scheduling with other youth sports programs, we expect NCLA Lacrosse to be a player's priority during the spring sports season for grades 5-8. Neither late registration fees nor the refund processing fee of $25 will be waived for any scheduling reasons for any programs.
