Welcome to Greater Garrett County Youth Lacrosse Club

Our registration for the Spring 2025 Season is open. This year we are adding the girl’s high school team as an option. Girls wishing to play in the high school boys still have the option to do so. You can find the club on MaxPreps this year under Greater Garrett County. Schedules and roster information will be posted there. Families in need of financial support are encouraged to reach out to us or apply at https://allkidsplay.org/youth-sports-grants/ For the sports program information please utilize the information at the bottom.

 

The boys will continue to practice and play home games at Northern Garrett High School for the Spring 2025 Season. The team will continue to play as the Greater Garrett County Bears. This is open to any player, regardless of their school affiliation.

Required equipment will consist of a legal lacrosse stick, mouth guard, gloves, elbow pads, NOCSEA complaint chest protection and cleats. The club does have equipment for players that need loaner chest protection or donor elbow pads and gloves while supplies last. Helmets will be issued to the players. This year players will have the option to order their own pinnie and shorts if they’d like to keep their uniform at the end of the season. To purchase this uniform, use the registration fee group for the complete uniform kit. Freshman that played middle school last year will still be able to utilize their uniforms for the upcoming season if they still fit. All players are required to have the uniform shooter shirts and socks for the season. If you don’t have them or need new ones you can use the registration fee group that includes just the shirt/socks. The shooter shirts and uniforms should be ordered prior to January 25, 2025.
