- Champions will receive team awards.
- Outstanding players will be honored and receive individual awards.
We have secured the LARGEST indoor facility in the area to host the MD Winter League - The Discovery Sports Center, Germantown.
Players MUST have at least on season of organized lacrosse experience.
START: The last week of November - NO GAMES Thanksgiving weekend!
END: Late Feb - just before spring tryouts
NO GAMES on Christmas or New Years Day
GAME FORMAT
This is NOT BOX lacrosse. The size of the fields allows for a much more realistic game - closer to the outside field game. This will help teams and players prepare for their spring season. Players have the opportunity to sharpen their game skills in a competitive, organized, and safe league.
(2 Attack, 3 Midfield, 2 Defense* - and a Goalie)
Much better for shooters and goalies
- Limited Body Checking - NOT Box lacrosse
Protect players from injuries prior to the spring season
- League starts in December
To allow teams to play in the many fall tournaments and not miss games. The season ends just prior to the spring season tryouts.
We encourage full teams to enter the league as a group. Players will be placed with teammates from the same high school or youth group. Single players or small groups are also welcome to register.
ALL players MUST register individually on-line
LOCATION: Discovery Sport Center Boyds MD
Game Days and Times
By popular demand we have secured additional hours on Wednesday and Friday evenings to accommodate more teams. This will allow for teams closest to the Discovery Center to play both during the week and on Sundays.
**We will work closely with teams prior to finalizing the schedule to balance game days and times that are most convenient for them.
