Minnetonka Lacrosse is at the forefront of developing our youth players. We are proud to be part of the fastest-growing youth sport in America and intend to foster a love for the sport of lacrosse through fun drills and competitive play. All skill levels are accepted, beginners are encouraged!
There are separate Spring and Summer seasons for girls lacrosse at the 10U, 12U and 14U level.
Players at the 10U/12U/14U level can sign up for one or both seasons.
We encourage participation in both seasons.
Registering for both Spring and Summer at the same time and prior to March 10th will include a $50.00 total discount on registration fees.

At the 8U level we offer a developmental 'practice' season that runs throughout both Spring and Summer. Click link below for more details.
Minnetonka Girls Youth Lacrosse participates in the Minnesota Schoolgirls Lacrosse League. We will play with these league rules and compete against Twin Cities and surrounding area teams.
We will roster one or two teams at the 14U, 12U and 10U level. Once the first team threshold is met, a team will be added if registration numbers permit. Final team count will depend on participation, so sign up early to ensure your spot on the team. Our 8U level will have one team.
Minnetonka serves the Minnetonka School District as stated in its mission. For this reason we give priority for roster spots to players who reside, or open-enroll, in the Minnetonka School District. We welcome players from outside the Minnetonka School District if space allows at the close of registration. Those players should email girlsyouthdir@mtkalax.org to be added to a "first come, first served" wait list.
