Travel Commitment & Tryouts

Playing travel lacrosse is a commitment for both players and parents.  Trying out for UDLC indicates your willingness to commit to the team for practices and games for the entire season.

All boys in 5-8^th grade will be placed on a team based upon their tryout.  Boys in 3-4^th grade have the option of trying out for a travel team.  All players in 3-4^th grade are required to play intramural.  There is no travel team for 1-2^nd grade players.  

Tryouts for all age groups will take place in mid- to late- February.  Will make every effort to host 2-3 tryouts per age group to accommodate winter sport commitments.  All players interested in playing travel must attend at least one tryout.  Players will be evaluated by coaches and knowledgeable parents without children in the age group they are evaluating.

New this season:

If you register by January 2, 2023, players in 3rd grade and up will also receive a UDLC shooting shirt to be worn with their uniform.  A Google form will be sent in early January so we can order correct sizes in time for the season.  You will not be included in this order if your son(s) are registered after this date - no exceptions.

Equipment

All players must wear full protective equipment: Helmet, Shoulder Pads (Must meet the 2022 NOCSAE standard for cardiac protection), elbow pads, gloves, cup, mouth guard and lacrosse stick.

If your family needs accommodation for equipment costs, UDLC can help equip your son to play lacrosse.  If your son is new to lacrosse and would like to borrow equipment for a few weeks before investing in his own, UDLC can help.  Please contact us for assistance.

Volunteering

UDLC relies on volunteers for the success of its program.  If you would like to help the club with General Organization, Uniform Distribution, Snack Stand or Coaching, please contact us.  If you do not know the sport of lacrosse, we will teach you!

Residency Eligibility & Waivers

UDLC is for residents of Upper Dublin Township.  If your son does not reside in Upper Dublin Township, it may be necessary for you to apply for a waiver from SEPYLA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Youth Lacrosse Association).  Apply for a waiver according to these instructions. If you sign up before then and are not granted a waiver, UDLC will refund your money.
