Fall/Winter lacrosse is typically league/games only (no practices). The leagues are typically run on indoor turf at either TSE or All-Star Sports. Fall/Winter lacrosse can be competitive and typically involves only the players who are very comfortable in a game environment. These are not PYL teams, they may or may not be run like PYL teams. Your child may get a lot of playing time, not much playing time, may play only one position or you may play four positions. It is completely up to the coaching staff how the team is run. Rosters are completely at the discretion of the coaching staff. Coaches will invite players they feel are a good fit for the team based on talent, availability and attitude. The only players "guaranteed" a spot are the coaches kids if applicable. The coaching staff typically knows which players they would like to invite, so it will probably not be a public event. How the roster is formed is totally at the discretion of the coaching staff. Any parent wishing to take on the task is welcome to form a team! Or a second team! Do not be discouraged if you are not invited to play with a team. This typically means the coaching staff feels you are not ready yet. Keep practicing. Fall indoor seasons typically run from early November to late December. Winter sessions typically run from early January to late March. Fall/Winter teams pay "per head" for all expenses incurred.
