All middle school players should take this short middle school registration survey. 

• High school eligibility: All 7th and 8th graders are eligible to tryout for our high school team. It is rare for us to pull up a middle schooler, but it does happen about once every two years. Please review the high school tryout information and register for high school tryouts through this link if you are interested. (NOTE: the sign-up requires an STA email address, so your sons will have to register themselves using their cadets.com email address)
• Homegrown MS League: For those students that opt for or are re-directed to the middle school team, the season will be operated through Homegrown lacrosse. This allows us to schedule a 10+ game season, as well as play a number of opponents we would not traditionally play. Although the schedule is not firm yet, the games will be on the weekends from April 18 - June 16. 
• Age and Level: We will be playing in the U14 B Division. This allows all of the middle schoolers to play on the same team while ensuring our ability to be competitive with teams made up entirely of 7th and 8th graders. 
• Busing: There will not be a bus for middle school games as all of the games are played on the weekends. 
• Coaching Information: The middle school coach will be Ben Mansur '19. Ben was an All-State player for us in 2019. He has tremendous enthusiasm for the game and is a perfect fit for this age group. Ben does an excellent job of focusing on both improvement and fun. We are privileged to have him with us this year. Ben's 2021 lacrosse season at Wesleyan in Connecticut was canceled due to the virus. 
• Daily Practice Schedule: Daily practice will begin on Thursday, April 8, 2020. Practices will take place Monday-Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. after school here at STA. If your son has a recurring scheduling conflict, please feel free to reach out. 
• Team Fee: The fee to participate in middle school lacrosse will be $75. This covers a team jersey, helmet, officials, balls, and the Homegrown team fee. 
• Equipment: The helmets we are able to provide are an older version of a Cascade R. If you are more comfortable with your son wearing another helmet, that is totally okay. Players will be responsible for providing their own stick, gloves, shoulder pads, and elbow pads. If the team fee is an issue, please reach out to me directly. There are means of providing assistance for those that need it.
