Youth lacrosse opportunities typically begin for boys in Kindergarten and for girls in 2nd grade and proceed through 8th grade. Spring is the primary season for youth lacrosse and includes teams from recreational to highly competitive. Some clubs offer year round options including, in some cases, summer travel teams. In addition, the CLF sponsors Colorado Select,  a competitive summer travel team.

Try-outs for these teams are generally during the spring season and try-out information is posted on league and club websites. 

Please note that not all clubs offer both boys and girls programs.

Spring registration begin as early as November 1 and will vary based on the club.
