Our regular season runs from mid-February through mid to late May. It is a rigorous M-F practice and game schedule that athletes are required to attend. Registration opens on December 1st and you can register here!
In addition, we do have preseason/out of season offerings throughout the entire year to help keep up the camaraderie. This is for our athletes who are not playing another high school sport as we encourage our athletes to focus on the seasonal sports they are currently in. If you want to get in on the action you can fill out the Player Interest form to get added to our Preseason Team (no fees).

Galena Lacrosse is a 501(c)(3) charity that supports over 90 student-athletes in learning the game of lacrosse and improving their skills in a competitive environment. As an unsanctioned sport, fundraising helps us keep registration costs as low as possible, ensuring that any student at Galena High School who wants to play has the opportunity to do so.
Being unsanctioned means, we pay to play the game - a lot. Fields, league dues, coach stipends, film, travel, uniforms, events, senior celebrations, scholarships, etc. are all club expenditures. This is why we raise money.
