Greetings Riverside Lacrosse,

We hope that you have had a fantastic summer of spending time with your families, relaxing, and playing a little lacrosse!

Now it is time to registered for the VEL Lacrosse Fall League. This league is very well organized and extremely competitive. Playing against top level competitive will help our program grow. To sign up please follow the link below.

http://www.virginia-elite-lacrosse.com/Registration/Default.asp?org=virginia-elite-lacrosse.com

*Note:

We would like all returning Varsity Players and/or 11^th and 12^th graders to sign up for the Riverside Varsity team.

• We would like remaining 9^th and 10^th graders to sign up for the Riverside JV Team.
• Be aware that after September 1^st there will be a $20 Late Fee to sign up.

We feel that splitting the teams this way will optimize each players’ experience and allow them to grow their skills with quality repetitions. Please also note, that playing in this VEL league in no way indicates which team you will be on during the spring season, nor does it solidify a spot in the program. This league is a way for you to improve your game as a player, and do so by having fun with your Riverside Ram teammates.

Tryouts for the Spring teams will be February 20^th 2017. We make all decisions for spring teams at that time.

Go Rams! ALL IN!

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse,

I am a big believer that the summer time should be a time to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. With that said, its ok to play a little lacrosse too! We are entering a league that will allow the boys to have fun and play, with-out a huge time/money commitment. If you are able to play, we would love to have you, if you have other commitments, we understand that as well.

We will be entering teams in the Cavalier Summer League. Here is some info:

Divisions - HS JV (rising 9th/10th) and HS Varsity (rising 11th/12th). We will be placing players once everyone signs up.

Location - Rock Ridge HS Turf

Game Times - Friday nights 5:30 to 8:30pm

Dates - June 13th to July 29th (8 weeks) 

Format - 7v7 Fall Brawl style games.  These will be 50 minute games (other leagues in the area are only doing 25 minute games).  Kids love the format as its fast paced and allows for minimal body checking (helps to prevent injuries). 

Cost Per Player - Cavalier is $175/player for the season.  By comparison, Triple Edge is $185 and Evergreen is $295

Environment - They will have food trucks, music, snow cones, corn hole, and jenga.  They are making a fun scene for the kids and the parents.

Please go onto  www.cavalierlacrosse.com and go to the left side and click register.

Go Rams. ALL IN!
