Welcome to Edina Lacrosse Association

2024 SUMMER BOYS AND GIRLS KINDERGARTEN AND BOYS 8U HOUSE REGISTRATIONS HAS CLOSED

A few spots remain open in our Boys and Girls K programs and Boys 8U House program. Visit the program pages for more information.

Boys K Program

Girls K Program

Boys 8U House Program

 


Uniform and Apparel Store Now Open!

All Boys and Girls in our 8U, 10, 12U, and 14U programs must order a new uniform (Kindergarteners do not need to order a uniform- they will be given a t-shirt the first day of practice)! All uniforms can be purchased using the same store link.   If you order after March 3rd, you will be charged an expedited shipping fee that will increase the closer we get to the start of the season to ensure timely delivery of your uniforms to your house. ELA will NOT be ordering extra uniforms like we have done in the past, so if you do not order a uniform here, we will not be able to provide you with a uniform.

Unlike previous years, our apparel store will be open all year round! Order some ELA swag to show your support from the sidelines- added bonus is that 10% of non-uniform sales go directly to ELA! 

Order Uniforms and Apparel Here: Edina Lacrosse Squad Locker Store
