Rec Playing Up Policy:
There may be situations that arise within the Pope Jr Greyhound Lacrosse (PJGL) program that will create a need to ask players to play up. Once registration ends, a PJGL Commissioner will analyze registration numbers, team makeups, and available coaching staff to determine if additional players are needed from a lower level and will invite players accordingly. If a player is invited to play up, it is only good for the current season.

The PJGL program has established that it is in the best interest of the players to play in the appropriate age/grade division as directed by Newton Recreation. When playing up, a player may encounter playing with/or against a player who is much larger, faster, more aggressive and developmentally mature. This can place the younger player at a disadvantage in achieving their potential and having success on the field -- these are primary goals of PJGL. To read our full policy, click here. 

SEASON INFO:

Practice Schedule: Practices will begin in August. Each division practices 2-3 times per week until the first game at which point there will be 2 practices per week. Coaches will be in touch with the exact date of your first practice.  For reference, the 2024 spring season practice schedule is here.

Payment: Credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover only) - done through registration system. If needing to pay by check, please use the proper "Pay by Check" code at checkout. 

USA Lacrosse Membership:  If your USA Lacrosse membership is not current or you are a new player, the registration system will automatically include the membership fee ($35) during checkout. A valid USA Lacrosse membership number is required to participate. For questions, please visit USA Lacrosse or email us if you encounter any problems. 


EQUIPMENT:

Boys Equipment:
Included in the registration fee is a player pack which includes a shooter shirt (tshirt), uniform shorts, and a personalized bag tag for that season. The shooter shirt is worn under the pads during gamesl. Your player will need a boy's lacrosse stick (pocket is deep to hold the ball more securely), helmet, colored mouth guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, cleats (soccer are fine), a water bottle, and a protective athletic supporter (cup). Rib pads are a personal preference, but not necessary at this level.

It is recommended to have some lacrosse balls at home for your player to practice. Cheap ones can be purchased from Play It Again Sports.

RENTAL EQUIPMENT: Equipment is available to rent from Lax4Community. 

Girls Equipment:
Included in the registration fee is a player pack (items change each season as determined by the Spirit Wear Chair but always include a personalized bag tag for that season). Your player will need protective eye goggles and/or a helmet, a girl's lacrosse stick (pocket is very shallow compared to a boy's stick), cleats (soccer are fine), a water bottle, and a colored mouth guard.

Out of District Players - Pope Jr Greyhound Lacrosse prioritizes roster spots for players that live in/attend a Pope HS feeder school. Out of district players MAY be accepted into the REC program, but the decision is evaluated on a season-by-season basis dependent on available roster spots. Please Note: This only applies to the REC program. 
 

SIZING CHARTS:
Sizing charts are available on the registration form. Once you have chosen a size, we cannot guarantee that the item can be exchanged for a different size. Please keep this in mind if your player prefers items tight or loose. 

Colors and design of each item will be a surprise for players when items are distributed.
