About Us

---

We are working on putting together a series of Fall/Winter clinics for all of our youth players. This would be an in-person format that would last an hour on a weekend day and run for 4 to 5 weeks. All local and CDC COVID guidelines would be adhered to as well. Please follow this link: Bothell Fall/Winter Clinics and fill out the short survey. We are gauging the interest of our members to proceed to the next steps. 

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.

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 

Lacrosse Wolf - Bellevue

Dick's Sporting Goods - Northgate

Big 5 - Bothell

Generall 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

1. SI Play https://www.siplay.com is great for referring to the schedule, checking the roster during a game to cheer on your teammates, RSVPing to practices and games, etc. Please make sure to accept the invitation to join and download app.
2. Practice / Game attendance: Please open the “Notification” email reminders sent through League Athletics and RSVP. This is important for a variety of reasons including planning line-ups for games and drills for practices.
3. Be on time. When practice begins at 5:30, players should be suited up and on the field warming up by 5:30.
4. Prompt pick up. Our coaches want to get home too! Please be respectful and pick up your player on time.  Arrive early?  The coaches always need help picking up cones and other practice paraphernalia.
5. Game Etiquette: Fans sit on the opposite side of the field from the teams. Let’s sit together and cheer them on
6. Practice at home! If your coach gives you homework, do it! Stick In Hand as much as possible, wall ball, cradle babies. 

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!
