We have 3 FREE Try Lacrosse events this season for players who are looking to try out the sport of Lacrosse. 

On Feb 26th GNLL will host a coed event for players to try Lacrosse at the Conway Dome. You must preregister for this event through a google form - see the link below. 

On March 6 RAYLA will host 2 Events at Acceleration North in Arden Hills. Girls will be from 3-4 pm and Boys will be from 4-5 pm . See the specific links below for girls and boys. You must preregister for the events. 

Hello RAYLA Members -

Here are 3 Important Equipment updates:

1. RAYLA will no longer be able to offer Free Equipment to our players for the 2022 season. The upkeep and updating equipment is not sustainable for our small association. We will be holding a used equipment sale prior to the start of the 2022 season for players to purchase used equipment. Or you can contract with East Side Lacrosse to Rent full equipment for the season. Here is the rental information.
2. Starting in Jan 2022 Players on the Boys Teams will need to have a new chest protector. Starting January all shoulder pads must be certified to meet NOCSAE ND200 requirements. NOCSAE ND200 is the first-ever performance standard for chest protection. Product compliance with ND200 reduces impact forces and thus the risk of commotio cordis (cardiac arrest due to a blow to the heart area).
3. This Chest Pad rule change is for College, High School, and Youth at the same time and has lead to very high demand of Chest Protectors. Many stores WILL NOT have stock this coming spring. RAYLA will not be able to provide players with this new chest pad. PLEASE ORDER YOUR PLAYERS CHEST PROTECTOR THIS FALL TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE SET FOR THE 2022 SEASON. You will need to try online stores like Dicks Sporting Goods, Lacrosse Unlimited, Lacrosse Monkey, or Lax.com to find stock.

Greetings from Roseville Area Youth Lacrosse! 

We are looking forward to seeing players starting drills indoors this spring and out on the fields in April or May 2022.

Team Breakdown

Based on interest we have set up a new plan for 2022 on the teams choices that will be available. The criteria of participation are based on the birthdate of the player. These are defined by US Lacrosse, our governing league.  We will need a minimum number of players to field a team per age group or may ask players to combine with other ages to make a team.
