Who are we?
Creeks Youth Lacrosse Program, falls under the Creeks Athletic Association, a not-for-profit recreational program focused on promoting and organizing the play of lacrosse for boys, from kindergarten through middle school, at all levels of experience and skill levels. We provide multiple lacrosse offerings throughout the year, but our primary season, Spring (Feb. - May), brings many newcomers, at all age levels (K - 8th), that join us for their first season of lacrosse. So, if your son has never played before, he will not be alone in trying lacrosse for the first time!
While we always intend to field competitive teams and play well, we pride ourselves on developing players for longevity in the game of lacrosse by teaching the core fundamentals of the game and instilling a love for the game. Our goal is to provide an environment for your son to learn and love the sport so he can continue to practice and progress.
Please note that the following is required, in addition to our general registration fee, in order to register with Creeks Lacrosse...
- All participants in Creeks Youth Lacrosse must have a current and valid US Lacrosse membership ($30 yr. / player; this is in addition to our registration fee).
- US Lacrosse membership provides the umbrella insurance coverage for our participants. Without a US Lacrosse number, you cannot complete the online registration process.
Creeks Lacrosse participates in the North Florida Youth Lacrosse League (NFYLL). All local area programs travel to our fields on Saturdays, a huge benefit for our players and their families.

- Teach lacrosse skills and concepts to "little laxers" and teenage boys and field competitive teams within the North Florida Youth Lacrosse League.
- Demonstrate and reinforce the characteristics and attributes expected of young boys to become responsible, respectable young men.
