2021-22 Boys and Girls Competitive Box/Avalanche Travel

Advanced players with box or significant field lacrosse experience will increase their skills in our competitive box sessions for boys and girls. Top players in the program will be invited to the Avalanche Box Travel Team for tournament competition, see below. Registration in Competitive Box does not guarantee a spot on tournament teams.

WHO  - Boys born in years 2002 through 2010; Girls born in years 2002 through 2005

• Age groups will be limited to 20-22 players.
• Girls and boys will play in separate sessions, but girls box lacrosse is played with the same equipment and rules as the boys’--similar to the way girls hockey is identical to boys hockey.  
• Tournament travel rosters will be formed from these age groups and carry 14-18 players (including goalies, each team ideally carries two).

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS -  Boys and Girls require the same gear/equipment. PLEASE CLICK HERE for a rundown of the gear you need to play Box Lacrosse. 

• Players cannot participate without proper gear.
• Boys players should have all the gear they need with the exception of Rib and Bicep pads (aka slash guards). Boys can buy box-specific gear in our HSLL Box Store, or find at online retailers. 
• Girls will need to start from scratch with gear, as box uses a boy’s stick and requires full boy’s protective gear. Girls can rent a full box package in our HSLL Box Store.
• Basketball style shoes--cleats are not allowed at Reno Sports Dome.  
• Goalies should bring a helmet, cup, mouth guard and lacrosse stick. HSL will provide essential box goalie equipment.
