Scripps Ranch Lacrosse Information

Welcome to Scripps Ranch Boys Youth Lacrosse.  Practice and game schedules will be developed for the 2021 season and are on their own page.

As youth sports has evolved, so has the dynamic between parents and coaches. As a coach, we are not perfect, we make mistakes but it is important for you to know that we will always do our best to be better & do right by you and your son.

Please, if you have an issue or problem with a coach, we abide by the 24 hour wait rule, which means that we encourage you to hold off on contacting the coach for for 24 hours, and then (1) Send an email explaining the situation and then if needed, contact by phone. 

We want to solve any problems as soon as possible so we can all enjoy lacrosse. Generally speaking, we want player, parents and coach to all be on the same page regarding any issues. This is our goal and commitment to you. 

TEAMS

7^th– 8^th Grades:  An A Team 18 Players & a B Team of 18 Players
5^th– 6^th Grades:  An A Team of 18 Players & a B Team of 18 Players
3^rd– 4^th Grades:  One Team of 18 Players
2^nd Grades:  One Team of 8 players
K-1^st Grades:  One Team of 8 Players

A TEAMS

Designated A teams are considered “lacrosse-first” teams – all other sports should take a back seat to lacrosse during the Spring Season and must work around us with their other activities/sports. All practices and games must be attended. While this is a recreational league, A teams in the San Diego Youth Lacrosse Assocation League are more competitive and are preparing players for competitive off-season teams and play in the future at the HS level. 

B TEAMS

B teams are developmental teams and will be run with a focus on skill development, introduction to the skills required by the different lacrosse positions, and introduction to offensive and defensive team strategies. While the expectation is that everyone plays equally, coaches will have some discretion with playing time on based on practice attendance and attitude.
