*Extended age cut-off date (June 1) for GNLL 14U league play applies to players who have not yet entered 9th grade. Players who have begun high school cannot play on a GNLL 14U team regardless of age.
High School Option: In previous years, youth players have expressed interest in playing spring season with the high school; we want players and families to know that this is not standard practice, and we strongly encourage youth players remain at the youth level to develop appropriate skill and experience. All athletes should register to play at the youth level to avoid missing the youth registration deadline. In the event there is a need at the high school level and an offer to play at the high school level has been extended, a prorated refund will be issued. *If you delay registration while waiting for a commitment at the high school level, and youth registration ends, we cannot guarantee a spot with the youth program

Girls Bag Information:
We have two apparel stores for Forest Lake Youth Lacrosse; Full Court and Neill. Neither of these sites offer actual lacrosse bags (they aren't designed to hold a stick.)
If you have a stick only bag like below:
Something like these smaller cinch bags from the Neill site might be a good idea to have for their goggles, cleats, mouthguards etc:
Or, if you would like to have a backpack that holds everything with their stick attached to the side these are some examples of options that are sold at places like Dick's Sporting Goods They have a variety of many options, just be mindful to order the smaller ones. The bigger bags are meant for the boys since they have much for equipment:
You can always take the next step to have these bags personalized if you want as well. Some have had embroidery done by Strikke Embroidery out of Stacy
