Summer Pickup Lacrosse

PROGRAM DETAILS

Henry Youth Lacrosse (HYL) is hosting weekly pickup games most Mondays in June + July from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Union Grove High School Stadium. Games will be short field (sideline-to-sideline) 7v7 format for the following groups:

  • Middle School Boys (6th-8th)
  • High School Boys (9th-12th)
  • Post-High School/Adult Men (Ages 18+)

Teams will be selected weekly based on turnout to create fair teams (two equal players – like goalies or best offense/defense players will “draft” teams prior to each week’s game). You know, like we always do pickup games.

If you would like to participate in HYL’s Summer Pickup Lacrosse Program, please complete the sign up form here.

Here is the full schedule for Summer Pickup Lacrosse games at UGHS Stadium. All games will start weekly at 7:00 p.m. (weather-permitted):

NOTE: There is no game scheduled for June 9th due to HYL Summer Camp. If you are volunteering at camp, we will play a staff pickup game after camp one night. Please volunteer to help at camp if you are interested in playing the week of June 9th-12th.

We plan to start as close to 7:00 p.m. as possible each week. Please plan to arrive early to help setup/organize teams (if you are able to).

HYL SUMMER PICKUP LACROSSE FAQS (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)

Do you need additional info? Have questions? Please review our Summer Pickup Lacrosse FAQs below first to see if we’ve already answered your question. If not, please reach out via 404.641.9023 or jeremy@henryyouthlax.org. Thank you!

WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?

HYL Summer Pickup Lacrosse is fully-equipped. Please bring all your gear with you! You should also bring:

  • Equipment: Summer Pickup is fully-equipped. Bring full equipment with you (including mouthguard and protective cup). If you do not have your own equipment (with the exception of mouthguard/cup), we do have gear available to loan out. Contact Coach Jeremy if you need to borrow equipment.
  • WATER: It’s summer. It’s going to be hot. You need to stay hydrated. Bring your own water AND bring more than you plan to drink. You are responsible for your own hydration!
  • A Reversible Pinnie: bring a pinnie with an obvious dark and light side (preferably white on one side). If you don’t have a pinnie, reach out to teammates or coaches (don’t show up without one).

DO I NEED TO USE GAMECHANGER?

Yes, we use GameChanger (a free mobile app) to communicate with our groups. For example, if there is a schedule change due to high humidity, lighting or anything else, we will notify participants via GameChanger.

After you complete the registration form, you will receive an email from GameChanger (once we add you to the app). To avoid issues, please use the same email for GameChanger that you used when filling out the sign-up form.

We will add all dates for pickup games into GameChanger. It is a HUGE help when participants RSVP to let us know whether or not they will be there week-to-week (especially goalies).

If you know you are going to be out of town or unavailable some weeks, please RSVP in advance. Otherwise, please try to update your status by 12:00 p.m. each Monday – so we can get a rough idea of what the turnout will be week-to-week. You can also download the GameChanger app at GC.com. Thanks!

CAN I BRING A FRIEND?

Sure! The more, the merrier (as long as we have a group for them, they are welcome).

Just have them fill out the registration form too. And tell them about the GameChanger stuff above.

DOES IT COST MONEY?

We are not officially charging a fee for Summer Pickup Lacrosse. If you are able to donate $5 or more to help support the youth lacrosse program, every little bit helps (you’d be surprised how much balls cost each year). If you would like to make a donation, please choose the most-convenient option for you below:

Donations are optional and not required for participation. Thank you for helping to support the youth lacrosse program!

WHAT ABOUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLAYERS AND/OR GIRLS?

We have the MOST interest for older boy’s and adult men’s pickup games at this time. That said, we have included other groups in the sign-up form to gauge interest. If there is enough interest – and we have an adult/coach willing to help coordinate – we will consider adding additional groups for Summer Pickup. Please complete the form to ensure you are included in the count.

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

We will publish the rules below before the 1st game. Rules will be pretty standard stuff as far as 7v7 goes.

DO YOU NEED VOLUNTEERS?

If you’re not playing, but would like to help, we could use volunteers to help keep score and assist with running games each week. If you are willing/able to help, please text 404.641.9023.
