GC Girls Rams Lacrosse Is A Travel Program

Participation in a travel sports program requires commitment from both the player and parents. Attendance at practices is mandatory. The Lacrosse season officially starts on March 1 and ends on June 30. It is important for both parents and players to understand that signing up for GC Rams Girls Lacrosse is committing to making lacrosse their primary sport from the season . When participating in more than one travel sport, conflicts will occur. We ask that you consider this when registering you daughter to play. While every effort is made to coordinate practice and game schedules with other sports, it is not always possible. Again, Lacrosse is a spring sport and we ask each participant to make it her priority sport for the season. Games are played on either Saturday or Sunday and practices are limited to two per week.
