Summary of Youth Teams:
- All youth teams are considered recreation level teams. There is no selection/tryout process and playing time is divided as evenly as possible. Our goal with these teams is to develop fundamental lacrosse skills and teaching players to work in a team environment. Expectations by parents should be based on their child having fun, developing skills and wanting to continue playing. We often travel to play other local teams but are not a 'travel team' in the colloquial sense.
- The youth program is part of the Western Conference of the Gulf Coast Lacrosse Conference (GCLC). Teams in the Western Conference include Baton Rouge, Lower Alabama, Mobile, North Shore and Southern Elite. We try to schedule games with other Louisiana based teams throughout the season.
- All youth age groups are affiliated through the Louisiana Chapter of US Lacrosse.
- We are the high school feeder program to St. Thomas More and our own Acadiana Hurricanes Varsity Program
- No previous experience is required for any Acadiana Hurricanes team at any level.
Summary of Boy's High School Team
- Our varsity team is part of The Louisiana High School Lacrosse League (LHSLL). It was formed in 2008 to provide a framework and organizational structure for the growth of high school lacrosse in the State of Louisiana.
