Welcome to the excitement of the Kimberly Youth Lacrosse Spring Season! Our spring program is a thrilling opportunity for young athletes to embrace the fast-paced and dynamic sport of lacrosse while enjoying the beauty of the spring season. KALA is a completely self-funded organization that is solely ran by volunteers, and all expenses are paid for through player fees and fundraising.

Join us for an incredible journey of skill development, teamwork, and fun during the Kimberly Youth Lacrosse Spring Season. As the flowers bloom and the weather warms, let's embrace the spirit of lacrosse and make this spring season one to remember!

PLEASE READ!

This season, KALA is introducing a new registration process to make things easier for families and for the club to track participants. We will not be collecting fees at the time of registration. Instead, you’ll simply register your player to reserve their spot on a team this season.

Then, approximately one month before the season begins, parents will receive an email containing an "offer" for their player. To complete the registration process, parents must "accept" the offer and choose either to pay the full registration fee upfront or select an installment plan. Once a payment option is confirmed, players will be officially rostered onto a team, and parents will be able to access team details and updates through the Crossbar app.

These age divisions help ensure that players are grouped with others of similar size and skill levels, providing a developmentally appropriate and safe environment for learning and playing lacrosse.

• U8 (Under 8): 9/1/2017 to 8/31/2020
• U10 (Under 10): 9/1/2015 to 8/31/2017
• U12 (Under 12): 9/1/2013 to 8/31/2015
• U14 (Under 14): 9/1/2011 to 8/31/2013

Collectively, KALA board members made the decision to not increase registration prices this year even though the cost of association fees, field costs, and referee fees have all increased and impacted our budget. We are committed to making this sport as affordable as possible for all families in hopes we can continue to grow our small club into what other larger ones are.

We are again having raffle tickets included in registration costs and are offering two payment options - Paid in full and 2 Pay Installments. Installment options will be removed for any registrations received after February 28th.

• U8: $90 + $150 (required raffle tickets) = $240
• U10: $265 + $150 (required raffle tickets) = $415
• U12: $265 + $150 (required raffle tickets) = $415
• U14: $265 + $150 (required raffle tickets) = $415

**Please note that there will be additional transaction fees applied at checkout by Crossbar for credit card payments. You have the option to pay via ACH to avoid the credit card fee. This will be shown in your total charge before you complete the checkout. KALA also reserves the right to charge a $30 late for for any returned payment after 30 days.

ADDITIONAL COSTS - Needed Prior to Registration:

• USA Lacrosse Membership (Required): $35 - purchased directly through usalacrosse.com and will be required to enter at the time of registering. The USA Lacrosse membership is required for all players and coaches. The membership also serves as your injury insurance during the playing season.
• Beginning July 1, 2025 all USA Lacrosse player members will be required to complete the one-time age verification process to maintain active membership status. Failure to comply will result in your players membership suspended.

OPTIONAL OPTIONS:

• Equipment: Equipment for players can generally cost anywhere between $325-$500 for helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, stick, groin protection, and cleats. To assist families who may not want to make that kind of financial commitment, we do have the following rental equipment options available.

At KALA, we strongly support multi-sport athletes and believe diverse athletic experiences help players grow both on and off the field. However, we ask families to thoughtfully consider their child’s availability before registering for lacrosse—especially if they’re committed to spring hockey or other sports during our regular season. A successful team experience depends on consistent attendance and shared commitment. When players miss practices or games, it impacts not only their development but also the time and effort invested by coaches and teammates. Please keep this in mind as you decide whether lacrosse fits into your athlete’s spring schedule.

Please visit our 'RESOURCE' tab. There you will be be able to find the slides from our parent meeting and information on the game, equipment and more. If you don't find what you are looking for there you can email us at kimberlylacrosse@gmail.com. Following our Facebook page is another great way to stay up to date on all club details.

This program is for student-athletes who attend Kimberly Area School District public or private schools within the district boundaries. Our program will accept students who reside outside of the school district boundaries if your school does not offer a lacrosse program and Kimberly is the closest program available. Please reach out to us prior to registering to discuss with a program director if this applies to your child.

The teams are based off the players date of birth, which is regulated by BVLA and USA Lacrosse, and not based off of the grade they are in. At the time of registration, the system will automatically place your player into the team in which their date of birth falls into. Special accommodations may be made at the desecration of the youth director and/or coach based on players size and skill level. If you feel your player should be placed on a different team for either of those reason, please talk to your coach or a program director regarding your concerns.
