2010 Registration

Registration will be ONLY online at sPortability.com. Registration for the 2010 season is scheduled to begin on October 10th for returning players and November 1st for new players.  Registration will close once the maximum number of players is reached at each age group. Interested players will be placed on a waiting list until rosters are determined. All players are required to register based on their true age. Any specific selection of teams will be made between the NLC Coaching staff and the NLC Board.

Registration for all teams will require a current US Lacrosse (USL) membership. USL membership IS included in each player registration fee. If players will only be participating in Fall Ball and have not registered for the regular season (including high school players), USL registration is required to be completed by each player (online at uslacrosse.org). USL fees are $25 for U-15 and below and $35 for all high school players.

We are expecting at least 200 players, however, we may have significantly more kids who are interested in playing but will be unable to participate given the shortage of coaching staff. New Coaches and Assistant Coaches are NEEDED – if anyone has any leads please contact DirectorofCoaching@novatolacrosse.org.

Registration fees for 2010 have been determined and are set out below. Fees include loan of uniforms, field use for practice and games, coach fees, league fees, referee fees and other team expenses, such as balls, first aid kits, etc.

2010 Registration Fees
