Start with the right foundation

You do not need to know the sport before your child starts. This guide covers the basics so your family can show up prepared and your player can focus on learning.

Does my child need experience?

No. MRL can work with first-time players and returning players. Training groups are adjusted by age, experience, and ability.

What happens at practice?

Practices are built around movement, fundamentals, small-group stations, repetitions, and age-appropriate competition.

What equipment is required?

Boys need a helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, protective cup, mouthguard, stick, and athletic footwear.

Do we need USA Lacrosse membership?

No. MRL does not require a USA Lacrosse membership.

Can parents watch?

Yes. Parents are welcome to stay and watch practice.

When should we arrive?

Arriving about 10 minutes early gives players time to gear up and be ready at the scheduled start.
