Welcome to the Bellingham Youth Lacrosse Program
The Bellingham Youth Lacrosse program is an instructional program, aimed at introducing boys and girls, grades 1st - 6th, to the exciting and fun game of lacrosse. As an instructional program, the emphasis will be on learning stick skills, game fundamentals, and what it means to be part of a team - being responsible, respectful, and giving 100% effort at all times. The game of lacrosse also has a rich history and tradition, and players and parents will learn about the game and how to honor it.

Concussion Information for all Lacrosse Parents
On May 14, 2009, the Washington State Legislature passed the "The Zachary Lystedt Law" HB 1824, directing the education of coaches, players, and parents on the recognition and management of concussions as well as establishing return to play protocol for all youth athletes suspected of or having a concussion or brain injury.
What this means for you is that...
All parents/guardians shall annually review, sign and return to the school, a concussion and head injury information sheet prior to the youth athlete's initiating practice or competition.
