Description
The Lexington Lions are a high school team composed of players from the Lexington area attending all local public, private, and home schools. At the high school level, players build off of fundamental skills to enhance game strategies and additional competitive, complex lacrosse play.
Requirements
To be a team player on the Lexington Lions, the following conditions are required:
1) The player must be female and attend either high school public, private, or home school.
2) The player must be a current member of US
Lacrosse ($25/year).
3) The player must have a passion for lacrosse, a desire to participate
on a competitive team, and be eager to learn one of the fastest growing
sports in the nation!
As a relatively new sport in the Lexington area, volunteers are critical
in maintaining the behind-the-scenes work of lacrosse. Parents are asked
to provide team support by being time-keepers, score-keepers, aid in
car-pooling/transportation, and be TEAM
FANS!
Practices and Games
During the Fall Season (October-November), skills development clinics are held once weekly to instruct on stick skills, throwing, catching, shooting, and other fundamentals of the game. The equipment required for the Fall Season is a lacrosse stick, goggles, and a mouth guard. During the Spring Season (March-May), full practices are held 2-3 times weekly to develop team dynamics, offensive and defensive plays, and more game strategies. In cases of financial need, LYLA has a meager supply of equipment available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are roughly 10 games during the Spring Season, played against Louisville high school teams. Games are split between home games to be played in Lexington, and away games to be played in Louisville about once a week.
