2021 Boys Spring League
New This Year! CCLA has implemented "grade based models" for the age groups. 14U is now 7th & 8th grades,12U is now 6th & 7th grades, 10U is now 5th & 6th grades and 8U is now 1st & 2nd grades. The WCLA Boys Spring League is a competitive program at the 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, and 7th/8th levels. Teams are formed at the 1st/2nd grade level with an emphasis on developing core lacrosse fundamentals and having fun. Spring Boys Futures, an engaging introductory lacrosse program, serves boys ages 3-5.
Players in all age divisions are required to have a lacrosse stick, helmet, shoulder pads, arm/elbow pads, gloves, and mouthguard are required for practices and games. (Heart shield pads are required for goalies this season.)
As a member of the Chester County Lacrosse Association ("CCLA"), WCLA adheres to its guidelines. Please check the grade bracket to confirm the division your son will be assigned before registering. You must reside within the West Chester Area School District to play 3rd/4th and up. Please note, as per WCLA policy, players are not permitted to “play up” (or out of the grade group), conversely, no one may "play down" in a division for which they are not grade-eligible.
5th/6th, & 7th/8th evaluations will take place on Saturday, February 27th and Sunday February 28th, times TBD.
