With the rapid growth of the sport there are some more events popping up closer to home that we will consider sending teams to in 2024-25.

• 16-19 players
  • Offensive Players:
    •   Offensive players are highly skilled, proven scorers.
    • Strong attackmen and goal scoring midfielders fill these roles.
  • Offensive Righties:  3-4 players
  • Offensive Lefties:  3-4 players
• Transition players:  2-3 players
  • Transition players are generally middies or LSM’s in field lacrosse that play a 2-way role at both ends of the floor.
  • Transition players generate transition offense out of the defensive end and when playing offense, they prevent offensive transition from their opponent by getting back on defense.
• Defenders:  6-7 players
  • Traditionally defensemen or midfielders fills these spots.
  • Real defenders love to grind on defense, and win ground balls while concentrating on playing both, on and off-ball defense. Working tirelessly on every substitution is also key to the position.
• 2 – Goalies (ANYONE can play goalie, regardless of field position!!)
  • Have fun wearing all the big pads inside the small goal!!
  • All pads are provided for goalies with exception of helmet, gloves, cup and stick.

We feel it makes the most sense to break up the overall costs for families to receive the most value while participating with the Knights.

Membership fees per player:

• Boy’s Novice (2033 & 2034) – $300
• Boy’s Peewee (2031 & 2032) – $450
• Boy’s Bantams (2029 & 2030) – $450

Membership fee covers all Sunday team practices and all Wednesday Skills & Concepts practices.

Events:
Each event will come with its own cost.  The price will be determined based on a variety of factors and will range between $250-$350.

Event Invites:
Soon after tryouts are over, an availability form will be distributed to all Knights families.  Once completed, we will generate rosters and provide everyone with registrations for their assigned events.

We will try to provide opportunity for everyone to play in 2 events, but can only guarantee that every player will be invited to at least 1 event.

Uniform:
The uniform is an additional cost purchased directly through Lax.com at a price of $130.  We elected to use a new reversible uniform this year (2024-25), which we plan to use again in 2025-26 to help keep the Knights Box program affordable.

Additional Products:
Knights custom box helmets, helmet decals, equipment bags and spirit wear are not inclusive to our offering.  These products will be made available soon after tryouts to players and families invited to play for the Knights through an online store set up with Lax.com.
