Woodbury United Lacrosse Calendar & Information

Woodbury United Lacrosse is a 501(c)3 non-profit community organization that supports lacrosse in the City of Woodbury. All players who wish to play lacrosse are welcome at all ages. Registration opens in early January and closes in March.

All board members and parent coaches are volunteers. As a growing sport, we rely on dedicated parents to support the program in a variety of roles.

The lacrosse leagues we participate in are administered by YLM (boys) and MsLax (girls).  Here is a tentative timeline for the upcoming season:

March & April: Indoor clinics & tryouts/evaluations

• A series pre tryout clinics (including Try Lax for Free days) and tryouts/evals held in HealthEast Fieldhouse
• Tryouts for “A” teams at U12 and U14.
• U8 and U10, if there are multiple teams, they are divided evenly.

Late April & May: Preseason practices begin when City opens outdoor fields in late April

• Outdoor practices & focus on fundamentals
• Typically held Sunday afternoons, and 1-2 weekdays

Woodbury hosts the Black & Blue summer lacrosse tournament. One of the largest association only lacrosse tournaments in the Midwest.

This is currently the only fundraiser we run as an association and we rely on parents to fulfill their required Dibs volunteer hours during this tournament.
