Spring 2024 Boys Recreational League Details
The 2024 spring season will be the eighth year that 805 Lacrosse has offered a youth recreational lacrosse league in San Luis Obispo County. We are planning to offer three different geographical practice locations to accommodate parents and players as best as possible – Northern SLO County (Templeton or Atascadero), San Luis Obispo, and Southern SLO County/Northern SB County (Arroyo Grande). Exact practice locations will be announced in early February. Practices will be held twice per week and will begin in late February.
GAME INFO
PRACTICE INFO
We are anticipating having three different age groups (U10, U12, and U14) practicing in three different geographical areas based on where the players live. Each team will practice in their designated geographical area, and then play games in a central location on Saturdays (San Luis Obispo - exact location TBA).
For information on what age bracket your son falls into, please review the USA Lacrosse approved age bracket table that we will be using for the 2024 season (see below). All age groups for each geographical area will practice on the same field and at the same time, but game times for the different age groups may vary. In other words, the U10 and U12 and U14 players in North County (or SLO or AG) will all practice at the same field and at the same time, but game times on Saturdays will vary based on age.
If a player prefers to play on a team other than their hometown team (e.g., a player may live in Templeton but attend school in SLO and prefer to practice in SLO) those arrangements can easily be made by notifying the league of your preference during registration. We welcome players from anywhere in San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County, but practice locations will likely be limited to Southern SLO County, SLO, and North County unless we have additional player registrations in other areas. If player registration includes a large enough number of players from another geographical area, e.g., Los Osos/Morro Bay or Orcutt, then the league will strive to add practices in that area.
Practices begin in late February with games starting in mid-March and running through the end of May.
Registration for the 2024 spring season is now open and includes a reversible jersey and warm-up shirt (for under their pads). In addition to the 805 Lacrosse registration fees, all players must be current members of USA Lacrosse and provide their own equipment. Rental equipment is available on a first come, first served basis.
RENTAL EQUIPMENT INFO
Upon the conclusion of the 2024 rec season, we are planning on conducting a short All-Star season that will run into early or mid-June. The All-Star teams typically play in at least two tournaments, one held locally and one in Santa Barbara or Bakersfield. There will be a nominal additional cost for the players who wish to try out for the All-Star team.
