Welcome to Bothell Lacrosse

We are a new board and are working on several things for this season. We have been meeting regularly and have been discussing the following:

Budgets

Coaching

The Season

Winter Clinics

Team Spirit Wear Store

Team Equipment Store

**Fundraising**

We hope to very soon have a parent meeting to be able to give you some clear and concise information about the season and the direction we would like to see the Club head in. 

Find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

Have feedback?  We are growing and learning and want to hear from you, better yet, come help! Feel free to contact your coaches or reach out to us.

We have partnered with a couple of local businesses to offer you shopping opportunities in time for gift giving for the holidays! 

BSN Sports has put together a great ensemble of options to deck out not only your player but all the fans cheering on our teams! And every item purchased sends a percentage back to the club to help with fundraising efforts

Lacrosse Wolf has helped us compile a team store for all equipment your player needs to be out on the field. New to the sport? They have new player start-up kits! 

A properly strung stick is THE most important piece; the biggest difference between a used $25 stick/head and a new $200 stick/head is how it is strung. 

Look to these stores for equipment:

Play It Again Sports - Woodinville 

Play It Again Sports - Lynnwood

Lacrosse Wolf - Bellevue

Dick's Sporting Goods - Northgate or Bellevue

Big 5 - Bothell

Generally speaking the following equipment is needed for your player:

Helmet

Face Shield *

Mouth Guard

Shoulder Pads

Arm Guards

Gloves

Athletic Cup

Cleats

A lacrosse stick **

Goalies need all the above plus chest protector, throat guard for helmet and goalie stick.***

* - Face Shields are currently required per COVID-19 safe to play guidelines

** - An offensive stick is recommended. A defensive stick is an option on the older teams

***Club will provide goalie gear, but players are welcome to use their own if it is per standards for play

Anyone looking to get more involved will receive training...you DO NOT need to have prior knowledge of lacrosse!

• We need Coaches and Assistant Coaches
• Scorekeepers needed at each game
• Spotters at each game: call out to the “bench” scorekeeper when we get possession, ground balls, assists, scores, etc.
• Timer (Home games only)
• Field Set up: place goals, cones and balls in proper position 30 minutes prior to game time (Home games only)
• Field take down: after games help pick up cones, balls, goalie equipment, etc.
• Team Parents for each team: send emails to families for coaches, create Sign Up Geniuses for game help (as described above), create team rosters to hand out to parents.
• Procuring corporate sponsorships or donated equipment, reduce your cost to play!  

Want to help us grow and promote the Club and sport? We have on going expenses we incur to support our teams through goalie gear, balls, cones and other items for practices and equipment for games such as time clocks, score books and various other items that help make game day run smoothly. If you are interested in donating, we have put together an Amazon Wish List. All purchases will be delivered to one of our Board members, Kelly Hennessey. Thank you in advance for your support!
