Who can join the team?
Anyone with any skill level – from beginner to experienced. We will have K/2nd, 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, and 7th/8th youth teams in addition to high school JV and Varsity teams. While we are primarily aligned with Rockwall ISD and its two current high schools, we accept any player in Rockwall County, and any player who would play with us per Dallas Fort Worth Lacrosse League (DFWL) address boundary rules.
RHLAX tries to make it a positive experience for everyone. We want everyone to be able to enjoy this great sport.
If my daughter has never played, can she try before joining?
We offer free beginner clinics where players may try the sport for free using just sticks and balls, and we offer summer camps which provide a more robust experience for interested players. Please refer to our Beginner Clinics page for more details
What equipment do I need?
Players are responsible for their own equipment. You can expect to pay about $50 - $75 for beginner gear, but they use it for several years if they don’t outgrow it. The mouth piece and cleats get replaced, but the they keep the stick they use until they decide they want a new one. Equipment can be purchased at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Lacrosse Unlimited and Team LAX in Frisco or Play It Again Sports. For cleats, if there’s not a designated cleat for Lacrosse at Academy, you can buy soccer but players may not wear metal cleats. Players need cleats, stick, and mouth piece. .
What registration is required?
You must register with US Lacrosse in order to be eligible to play. The fee is $30-35 for a one year membership - www.uslacrosse.org. If you’re already registered, you do not have to reregister until your year is expired. (ex: if you currently play for another team). All you need to do is change your team to Rockwall Lacrosse.
Where can I purchase Spirit Wear?
Spirit wear can be purchased from one of our online stores when they are open. Online stores are typically set up at the beginning of each season and before Christmas. Check our website home page for links to the stores.
Why is this a club team and not offered through the district?
Lacrosse is not yet an official UIL sport in Texas. We have a strong relationship with the school district which results in use of the sports facilities for practices and games. We have access to Cain, Williams, Kyle Drive, RHHS turf, and Dobbs fields for practices.
Who will we play at games?
Other club and city sports teams, such as: Highland Park, Plano/Plano East/Plano West, McKinney, Parish Episcopal, Frisco, Allen, Flower Mound, and Lovejoy amongst others.
When is Lacrosse season?
Lacrosse is played year round, but the official season is Spring – practices begin in January, games begin in February, and go through the end of April or early May. The Fall season begins in September and runs through the end of November.
