Shorts: Garden City Lacrosse shorts may be ordered by any player at the time of registration for a cost of $25.00 per pair.

What to Bring: 1) Please bring a check payable to Garden City Rams Lacrosse in the amount required for registration, jersey, and shorts as needed.

2) A COPY OF YOUR SONS BIRTH CERTIFICATE . This is a league requirement and you MUST provide one even if you supplied one in the past.

Applications: There will be two forms you will need to fill out: the Nassau County PAL form and the US Lacrosse form. You can get these prior to going to Olympic Den by downloading them from www.GardenCityLacrosse.com from the Garden City Youth Lacrosse Link. Lacrosse registration packets are also available inside the entrance of Cluett Hall at St. Pauls and at Olympic Den. If you do download the application, you will need to submit 3 completed copies of the PAL form and one US Lacrosse form.

Reminder: Games and practice conflicts occur when participants are involved with more than one sport during the spring season. While every effort is made to coordinate practice schedules with other sports, it is not always possible. Being that lacrosse is a spring sport participants are asked to make it a priority activity during this season. An attendance commitment is required from each participant. Players who miss practice or games may find their playing time limited.
