Tribal Lacrosse offers a 50% discount for the 3rd+ player in any family (Not applicable to Goalie fees). In order for the registration system to recognize that your family is registering multiple players, please register all of your players at this time. On the Summary Page, there is a link near the bottom to "Register Another Player" - please click on this link to ensure that all of your family's players are registered within the same order. Failure to do so will result in a forfeiture of your family's discounted rates.

This year we will be offering a 50% discount for U13 and U15 goalies. Just select the appropriate goalie option in the "level of play" menu. If your child signs up as a goalie for the 2014 season they will be required to play the majority of the season in the goalie position. If your child decides not to play goalie after they have registered, you will be required to pay the remaining 50% of the registration fee.

Late Registration:  After December 15, 2014, a late fee of $50 will be applied to all registrations.

Refund Policy:  If a player registers, then decides not to play, the full amount (minus a $10 per player administration fee) will be refunded if we are notified during the regular registration period.  If we are notified when registration is in Late Mode, 50% of the fee will be refunded. Once indoor practice has started, fees are no longer refundable. Late Fees are non-refundable.

The Tribal Lacrosse community is saddened by the news that a former Tribal Lacrosse player, Kevin Van Lenten, 24, of Topsfield passed away suddenly this week.  The name Kevin Van Lenten, lovingly known as KVL is synonymous with sports. His passion for playing them began as early as TAA U-8 Soccer and T-Ball and continued on with youth basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and football. Kevin graduated from Masconomet Regional High School in 2008 where he was honored to captain the boys' soccer, basketball, and lacrosse teams.

The family has asked that in lieu of flowers, tax deductible donations may be made to the Topsfield Athletic Association KVL Scholarship Fund, which is being established to honor Kevin. Please send checks to 31 Kinsman Lane, Topsfield, MA 01983.   Donations can also be made through the TAA website:  https://taasports.light.sportspilot.com/store/products/1-kvl-scholarship-fund-donation.aspx

Tribal is pleased to announce changes to our girls Little Laxers program for this upcoming season.  Our little laxers has consisted of kindergarten and first grade girls participating in weekly skills sessions in a fun environment.  Our new changes will still incorporate these valuable skill sessions but now we will be entering the girls into our Governing bodies' MBGLL, u9 age group.  On top of the weekly skills we have already been enjoying, now, in addition to the weekly skills practices; the girls will play games on Sundays throughout the season through the schedule MBGLL composes.   MBGLL denotes the u9 group as 1st and 2nd graders under 9 years old.  However, Tribal has always had a fantastic group of girls in Kindergarten who want to play.  Therefore, Tribals new little laxers (now known as u9) will consist of girls currently in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders. 

What this means to you:

Kindergarten: Participate in our u9 program as it is constructed. If you believe your child will not enjoy or would not benefit from games, she will be allowed to work with your age group director to not play in the games through MBGLL, and simply benefit from the skills portion of u9.

First Grade: Participate in our u9 program as it is constructed.

Second Grade: The option to register at the time of registration for your daughter to play u9 as it is constructed.  Or, if you feel it would be best for your daughter, you may register to play "up" at u11 age group (Tribal u11's have historically consisted of 2nd-4th grades).

Tribal girls winter skills clinic, coached by Endicott College varsity coach, Morgan Maciewicz, begins Monday November 10.  The program is open to girls grades 2-8, and will run for Seven Mondays.

grades 2,3,4: Mondays 6-7pm @ Latitudes

grades 5,6,7,8: Mondays 7-8pm @ Latitudes

a registration link will be emailed to all who played last year as well as on this homepage shortly.  Check back often, to ensure space.
