Q: There is a wide age gap in the divisions, will my boy be OK if he's 11 in U15 or 7 in U11?
A: While there is always risk of injury in any sport, but the rules for U15 and U11 are very limited body contact. Checks must be equal pressure and non violent, no lay outs or "de cleaters". U19 will be full contact but still with the "no de-cleaters and no boarding" rules.
Q: We're planning a vacation this summer, is it ok if my player misses multiple games?
A: Yes, we anticipate that and build roster sizes accordingly. There isn't a prorated fee option though.
Q: If my player hasn't played lacrosse before, can he or she play indoor this summer?
A: Yes, the beginners clinic is recommended for new players that want to play indoor, but it's not required. So .. you can sign up for either, or both.
Q: What are the differences in indoor vs. outdoor lacrosse?
A: Indoor focuses the game into a much smaller area, there are a lot more shots and a much quicker transition. A player is never far from the action. Also, moving picks and crosschecks legal, the goal is 4'5" by 4" and there are 6 players on the field instead of 10.
Q: Where can I get the required equipment?
A: There are some recommended "started packs" in the equipment section under the "For Parents" tab on the
www.tulsalacrosse.com website.
Q: Quick question... What are the frequencies and duration of practices for 8th graders?
A: There is a short practice prior to the game each week. The players show up 15 minutes early for a team meeting, then 15 minutes to practice on the field, then 20 twenty minute running halves.
