Many athletes looking for a spring sport have found a home in lacrosse.  From ages 5 to 18, boys and girls throughout the region can be found with a crosse (stick) in their hands, cradling a ball or playing "wall ball."    Here's a quick overview of the teams our communities offer:

High School - register through schools and this website (www.grmnlax.com)  (reg opens this fall) 

• Grand Rapids/Greenway Lightning - girls 7th-12th grades (contact: Mark Surface, fblaxcoach@gmail.com)
