U10 Division - Lady Renegades

This division is for players ages 9 and 10.  For the first time, players in this division will be flighted as per SJYLAX rules.  We will hold evaluations for players at this age group and attempt to place each player in an environment that is challenging and gives her the best opportunity to develop her lacrosse skills in a competitive setting.  Basic lacrosse skills are still being reinforced at this level along with game strategy and basic plays may be introduced.   Playing time should be equal for all players at practices and games and players should be given an opportunity to try different positions during the course of the season.

Age Requirements: 2020 SPRING SEASON  

Participation in a U10 team is determined by the player's date of birth.  Any player born between September 1, 2009 and August 31, 2011 may play on a U10 team.  

US LACROSSE NUMBERS ARE REQUIRED!!

In order to meet the requirements of South Jersey Youth Lacrosse League, all players are required to be current members of US Lacrosse, the national governing body of lacrosse.  A link to US Lacrosse can be found on the helpful links page or by clicking their logo at the bottom of the page.

Teams usually practice 2 nights per week, and most practices will run about 1 hour and 30 minutes.  The team's coaching staff will determine which days and how long the team will practice.
