Can my child play another Spring sport? Remember Lacrosse is a Spring Sport!

Playing two travel sports in one season is discouraged by Wakeman. The spring is a short season that is effected drastically by weather and rescheduling games and practices is the norm. Travel Soccer players are not encouraged to try-out for Travel Boys or The Black Girls Teams.  The travel lacrosse commitment should be their priority!  In House Boys or Girls Gold, Red, Blue, Orange lacrosse teams will field more players per team to account for players missing games due to other commitments. Players will be rewarded for attending all practices and games.
