The second is an instructional program for players in grades 2-10. The third is our non-contact "learn-to-play" program for grades K-5.
**NOTE: A player could sign up for both leagues and instructional programs. TIMES WILL NOT CONFLICT.**
A player should choose a level based on age and skill. Advanced players may "play up" if experience allows.Registrations are accepted by mail at 7 Azalea Ct., Clifton Park, NY, 12065 or within a half-hour of the start time of each session, as long as spots are available.

FEES:
--$145 if paid by 12/31 and $155 if paid later
--Includes $30 non-refundable deposit
--No pay-per-play option
--Our fees are higher in winter due to higher Sportsplex rental fees.
TEAMS:
A team can be formed by any of the following means:
--Local high school or youth team may form a complete team.
--Local high school or youth team players form a partial team and are then put on a team with another group of players. All players from each school or youth team will be placed on the same team unless it is impossible because of the position of the players or because it conflicts with the league structure.
--An individual player can sign up as a free agent. Free agents will be placed on a partial team or on the Capitalland Clubs' home team. A Capitalland representative will coach this team.
FORMAT:
The league format will include weekly divisional play. Records will be kept. A playoff tournament will be held after the regular session league games conclude. Each game will be refereed by a qualified referee and supervised by a CLL representative.
The format of play will be 2-3-2 setup, which includes the goalie. Each game will have two 22-minute running halves with a 5-minute halftime. Since players do miss games due to sickness, vacations, etc., every team must have 16 players, with a maximum of 18. Any team not reaching 16 players will be considered a partial team, and Capitalland Lacrosse may add players until a full roster of 16 players is reached.
COACHING:
Anyone over the age of 21 can be a coach. If a group of players or free agents do not have a coach, a representative from Capitalland Lacrosse will coach the team.
JERSEYS:
Each player will receive an official game pinnie on the first night.
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS
These programs highlight our expert coaching staff's ability to teach the intermediate, beginner and novice lacrosse players the right way to play lacrosse. Our coaches will use the same skills, drills and live scrimmages that they have used to mold numerous all-league and all-American lacrosse players in the past.
All instructional programs will be held Thursdays 1/7 to 2/25, excluding 2/18.
