Spring 2026

Spring is our main season, where we offer programs from K thru 8th grade, fielding multiple teams per age-level with most competing in the West Bay Lacrosse League, a community-based recreational lacrosse league which includes a highly competitive "select" division. For 3rd grade and up, the season runs from February until mid-May, with two weekday practices and 1-2 weekend games starting in March. Younger programs run from March until mid-May with practice 1 day a week and some weekend games (1st & 2nd only).

Program Details

The sign-up deadline is Dec. 1st. Registrations that come in after Dec. 1st will be put onto a waitlist. We will make every creative effort we can to get people off of our waitlist once we understand our full field and enrollment situation, but with our growth we need to work more closely (and earlier) with the city to secure the necessary field by their deadlines.

U10-U14 Select Team Tryouts

Select Team Assessments are for our Spring Select teams in U10, U12 and U14 age groups only. Our select teams are our most competitive teams within each age group. All registered players are guaranteed a spot on a spring team, Select or otherwise. If you are not interested in playing for our Select teams, you do not need to attend assessments.

Assessment dates:

Primary date: Sunday afternoon 11/30 at Paul Goode Field
Alternate date: Sunday afternoon 12/7 at Paul Goode Field

We’ll provide more details on timing per age group & gender, and the make-up date(s) as we get closer.

We ask that players on our Select teams prioritize lacrosse as a primary activity in the Spring. If you absolutely cannot make either date, please contact girlsdirector@sfriptide.com or boysdirector@sfriptide.com and we’ll see what we can do to help.
