North Ridgeville High School Lacrosse Program
The North Ridgeville Lacrosse program is dedicated to promoting the game of lacrosse to the residents of North Ridgeville and its surrounding communities who do not currently have their own community-based lacrosse program. The program provides an opportunity for its members to learn the fundamentals of the game while promoting sportsmanship in a positive and inclusive environment.
Our high school team is considered a club team and is not affiliated with North Ridgeville High School. We are a JV level team and compete against mostly other JV teams in the area. Travel can be up to 60+ minutes radius from North Ridgeville. Players are responsible for their own transportation. The team will play between ten and twelve games this upcoming season. Since we are a club team, we can add players from other school districts. Outdoor practice starts in February and can be up to five days per week depending on the game schedule and the weather. The season runs from March through mid-May. Players are responsible for their own equipment (sticks, protective gear, etc.). Uniforms are provided and players keep them after season.
