These teams compete in the Northern California Junior Lacrosse Association, playing 10v10 lacrosse (9 field players and one goalie) on a full size field.

The top priority for this team is to develop individual and team skills.  Games are competitive but playing time is not solely determined by player ability.   During the season, players are expected to prioritize lacrosse over other sports that they may be involved in.

 

Season length, practices, games and locations

Twice weekly mandatory practices typically start in mid January or early February.  Games start in late February or early March, and are usually played on Saturdays.  Some games are on Sundays.  The season ends in mid-May.  There are usually no games during Spring Break (EUSD schools).
Some away games may be held in the Bay Area, typically East Bay or North-East Bay teams (Pleasanton, Napa, Walnut Creek, etc.) but more away games are in the local area.

Team and Player Evaluations

Our league, the Northern California Junior Lacrosse Association (NCJLA) requires teams to register as a "Rookie - B" a "Veteran - B" or an "A" team.  Formation of teams can vary dramatically each year depending on the number and experience of registered players in each age group.  If there only enough players in each age group for a single team, we will pick the best level designation for that group.  If we have enough players to form multiple teams in a given age group, we will determine the best way to split the group into teams.  This could include splitting by age/grade or by skill (and possibly having an evaluation/practice in late fall to determine which players fit best on which teams).  To help with this process, we ask that families indicate during registration whether lacrosse will be your main activity in the spring that is prioritized over other commitments, or if you will likely miss some practices and/or games due to conflicts.

The bottom line is that while the team designation varies from season to season and depends on the specific circumstances of that season, the objective is always to do what is in the best interest of the largest number of players.  Lastly, no team designation is required for any level of play at Granite Bay High School. All players desiring to play lacrosse in high school are encouraged to try out will be evaluated at that time without regard to any prior youth team designation.
