2020 Boys Spring League

The WCLA Boys Spring League is a competitive program at the 10U,12U, and 14U levels.  Teams are formed at the U8 and U7 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 7U-14U age divisions are required to have a lacrosse stick, helmet, shoulder pads, arm/elbow pads, gloves, and mouthguard are required for practices and games.
 

As a member of the Chester County Lacrosse Association ("CCLA"), WCLA adheres to their guidelines.   ​Please check the age bracket to confirm the division your son will be assigned before registering.  You must reside within the West Chester Area School District to play 10U and up.  Please note, as per WCLA policy, players are not permitted to “play up” (or out of the age group), conversely, no one may "play down" in a division for which they are not age-eligible.

10 Things you Need to Know About Boys U10, U12 and U14 2020 Evaluations

• Matt Mackrides from Blue Ox Lacrosse will oversee the Evaluation process for U10, U12 and U14 age groups.

• There will be independent Evaluators for each age group.  If Parent Coaches are evaluating, they will not be permitted to evaluate their son’s age group.

• We will not be announcing Head Coaches and Assistant coaches until players are selected for each team.  This is done to avoid any potential conflicts with player placements and coaching assignments.

• We will again have several non-parent, paid coaches working with our teams.  We are still looking for 2 or 3 more coaches. If you know any potential candidates, please contact Mike Dewey at

• Tryout dates and times are as follows at Kelly Field (601 Westtown Road):

PLEASE NOTE:  All dates and times may change due to inclement weather. Please check our homepage, www.wclax.net, for updates about tryout times.  If there is inclement weather that will affect tryouts, we will post it to the homepage first and then send out an email via Team Snap.  (The email will go to the email address entered at the time of player registration.)

• Callbacks for U12 & U14 will be held on Wednesday 2/26 AND/OR Thursday 2/27. U10 callbacks will occur the week of March 2nd.  All will be subject to change due to weather and field availability.

• Your son(s) is/are encouraged to attend both evaluation dates.  If they are only able to make one day, please let us know at admin@wclax.net.  If for some reason your son can not make either date, we will make accommodations for them to attend a callback session.   If your son cannot make any of the evaluation days, they will not be eligible to be placed on a AA team. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

• Required equipment: Stick, cleats, gloves, arm pads, shoulder pads, water bottle and mouthpiece.  If your son does not have a mouthpiece they will not be able to participate in the evaluation.   

• Parents who are not volunteering as evaluators or running drills are not permitted on the field at any time during the evaluations. 

•  Final team announcements/placements will be made within 72 hours of the final callback session.
