Borderland Girls Lacrosse
As women’s sports have stepped to the forefront, and lacrosse continues to gain popularity in the Midwest, Borderland Lacrosse offers opportunities for girls, grades 1-8, to learn and play recreational lacrosse near the Illinois-Wisconsin border. A collaboration between the Kenosha Raptors and Warren Area Lacrosse Association, Borderland Lacrosse will allow new and experienced lacrosse players to learn and compete with other girls from their communities. No more lengthy drives!
Ages
We are currently registering girls, between Kindergarten and 3rd grade, and 6th through 8th grade. We expect that 3rd graders will play with K-2nd graders, while 6th graders will play with 7th/8th graders.
4th and 5th graders are encouraged to register as an expression of interest. No charge will be applied at registration. If there is sufficient interest in a 3rd/4th grade or a 5th/6th grade team, we will follow up. We expect the cost of such a 3rd/4th grade team would be roughly $210, and the cost of a 5th/6th grade team would be $285.
Cost
K - 3rd Grade: $210
4th/5th Grade: $0
6th - 8th Grade: $285
Uniforms are included in the registration fee, though all athletes are expected to bring their own sticks, cleats, goggles, etc.
