All seasons are played under the Mohicans Club for our Youth divisions. All Youth teams play in the Florida Lacrosse Association (FLA) league. All participants in every age group must be current members of US Lacrosse
All players must provide their own equipment, which consists of a lacrosse stick, mouth guard, lacrosse helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, cup, and cleats.
Youth divisions follow the Florida Lacrosse Association League structure and are as follows:
- Bantam - grades 1/2
- Lightning - grades 3/4
- Junior - grades 5/6
- Senior - grades 7/8
If a large number of players register within a certain division in a given season, we may, at our discretion, form multiple teams in that division. Placement on a team within a division is always determined by the coaching staff.
Bantam/Lightning:
The FLA games are played on Sundays, almost always at the same location and during the same time frame from about 1:00 - 4:00 pm over a 7-8 week period. Games and practices are played in full pads. Games for these divisions play (2) 30 minute halves.
Junior/Senior:
The FLA games are played on Saturdays, and the location may vary based on the opponent's home field. Games and practices are played in full pads. The games are played against other local club teams. Games take place over a 7-8 week period.
***Age limits and requirements for tournament play may be different and will vary, depending on each tournament.
