We’re looking into forming a girl’s lacrosse team at LHS next year.  The team can be comprised of freshman – seniors since it’s not UIL.  An estimated guess on cost is: about $300 - $400 to play (to pay the coaches salary, uniform, ref fees, membership into league, board insurance.)  Then you’d have to buy the stick, goggles, and cleats – probably $150 total.

Girl’s lacrosse is no contact – strictly a passing game.  The field set up is like soccer:  three middies, three defenders, three attack and one goalie.  It’s a fun exciting sport!  Lacrosse is a spring sport – starts in Jan. and runs til end of April. 

If interested, go to www.leopardlacrosse.net; fill out the contact us form and we’ll be in touch.

Leopard Lacrosse Club chose to sponsor a Used Cleat Drive to
benefit the BRIDGES TO LACROSSE PROGRAM, which is designed to help start programs in under privileged communities.  This was our first community service project for our inaugural season.

The idea came to us after we played St. Philip’s in South Dallas.  Their team is comprised of boys who attend St. Philip’s and with boys from the neighborhood.  Since some parents may not be able to afford cleats for their children to participate, we thought of what better way to give back and donate cleats, that growing boys outgrow so quickly!

In total, we collected 28 pairs (5 of which are brand new!) and three used lacrosse helmets!  Thank you to all who donated and helped make this a huge success!
