Canby Youth Lacrosse

Our Mission

We are committed to providing our youths with positive experiences in a team-oriented sport. The game of lacrosse is a way for youths to learn valuable life lessons that allow them to grow into fine young adults. It is not our mission to try to develop every youngster into a college or professional level athlete.

Registration for the spring 2012 season is now open!
Click Here to Register Now!!

Paper-Based Registrations will no longer be accepted. Payments can be made in check or credit card only.

The board of Canby Youth Lacrosse is very excited to announce that we have significantly reduced our registration costs for this upcoming spring. Our fee for this upcoming season will be $150 for ALL levels! High School players still have $95 in additional fees ($60 HS Club Sport Fee and $35 US Lacrosse Membership Fee). Youth players will have $25 additional US Lacrosse Membership Fee.

For spring 2012, we intend to take the first 20 paid registrations at the 5/6 and 7/8 level (16 registrations at the 3/4 level). Paid registrations after the first 20 (16 at the 3/4 level) will be placed on a waiting list. If we get to 30 registrations (24 at the 3/4 level), we will actively pursue a potential coach and create a second team.

We will expect lacrosse to be the first extracurricular commitment during the spring. We do encourage other activities, however the nature of a team sport dictates a high commitment to the others on the team. Missing practice hurts the team AND the individual. Please consider your commitment level before registering.

We will inform returning players that registrations are open a few weeks before announcing it in the paper, at school, and with road signs. This is the only "extra" priority that you will receive as a returning player.

I want to try it!

Looking for a spring sport that involves a lot of aerobic activity? An activity that does not get rained out? Something with minimal contact (very little at the young youth levels)? A sport where everyone plays and there is simply no way to avoid the action? A sport where most activity is during the game, not during warm-ups?

Is your child very interested in lacrosse, but you don't know how to "try it" without the risk?

Let us know! We'll loan you a stick and a few balls to get started. We'll even help to connect you with kids you may know who are already playing! We do have loaner gear for first year players for the season too!

Parents get involved!

We need coaches - assistants and head coaches at ALL levels. We know that most of you don't know much about lacrosse, but you can learn along with your kids! No one on the board or actively coaching at the youth level in our program has ever had any lacrosse playing experience before we dove in. To do this with your child is a tremendous experience. Interested? Willing? Click Here to let us know that you are interested!

I have questions...

If you have any questions, please email Curtis Nelson. An email asking questions does NOT in any way commit you to anything.

Looking for Sponsors

Are you interested in sponsoring our program? We have an exciting thing going already. However, as a startup program, there are lots of expenses. We have covered the "core" costs already, but we need more help. We want to acquire practice jerseys, extra sticks, more balls, and practice goals/targets. We would also like to attend an overnight tournament in some other area of the state. And, we would like to get a "team pride" item - something like a gear bag, a nice jacket, or sweats for everyone.

We already have some sponsors and are incredibly grateful for their generosity. If you would like to sponsor our team, please visit our sponsors page.
