Requirements
To be a team player on the Lexington Lizards,
the following conditions must be met: Practices and Games During the Fall Season (October - November),
skills development clinics are held once weekly to instruct on stick
skills, throwing, catching, shooting, and other fundamentals of the
game. The only equipment required for the Fall Season is a lacrosse
stick. During the Spring Season (late February - May), full practices are held
to develop team dynamics, initiate physical contact, and
practice offensive and defensive plays. Full equipment including helmet,
shoulder pads, elbow/arm pads, gloves, cleats, mouthpiece, and an athletic
supporter is required. In cases of financial need, LYLA has a meager
supply of equipment available on a first-come, first-served basis. Practice
