Welcome to the third season of EAA Lacrosse! 

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ

Prior to registering for the lacrosse season, all players will need to register for a membership with USA Lacrosse ($35).  This provides insurance for the players and many lacrosse resources.  All players competing in the Omaha Lacrosse League are required to have a USA Lacrosse membership and your membership number will be required in the EAA registration process.  We will be required to provide USA Lacrosse Membership numbers to the OLC for all of our players.

Register for USA Lacrosse here: USA Lacrosse Membership  

Age groups are determined by USA Lacrosse.  EAA is accepting girls and boys born prior to August 31, 2016 and after September 1, 2010.  To check your child's birth date, refer to the following chart: USA Lacrosse Age Reference Chart  

Lacrosse is a fun and fast-paced sport for boys and girls where players learn catching, cradling, passing, ground balls, shooting, dodging and defending.  It is now officially a sport that will be included in the 2028 Olympics!  Our recreational program is focused on athlete development including footwork, speed, agility, hand-eye coordination & endurance.  Lacrosse develops the total athlete and is the perfect compliment to any sport.  Did you know that boys and girls lacrosse are fairly different?  Girls lacrosse is non-contact (about the same amount of contact you would expect in basketball) and does not require helmets and pads, only eyewear and a mouthguard. Boys lacrosse is a contact sport where helmets and pads are required.  There is also a difference in sticks.  Boys have a much larger pocket on their sticks, while girls' pockets are very shallow.  Some male defensemen are able to carry a longer stick, while in the female game, all the sticks are a similar regulation length.  Feel free to ask any questions you may have by calling Anne Inzerello at 402-289-8358.

Elkhorn teams compete within the Omaha Lacrosse Club League with other teams in the Omaha/Lincoln Metro area.  Games are held on Sundays (with the occasional Saturday for tournament play) at the Nebraska Multi Sport Complex in La Vista.  EAA is will have teams for 10U, 12U and 14U boys and girls.  The 10U girls will be more academy-style practices, but will hopefully have an opportunity for games as well, depending on the total number of female 10U registrants in the Omaha area. 

Pricing is determined by the Omaha Lacrosse Club (OLC) and may change slightly for the new year. (They have not given us their updated pricing for 2025.)  The difference in price ($40) accounts for what they charge in addition to purchase one of their pinnies.  Our jersey costs are included in our registration.  We are only charging $40 as well for a jersey, even though the cost for ours is $54, so that we can match the same pricing as OLC.

The lacrosse season will begin in early March 2025, depending on weather.  The season runs from March through May.  Registration fees cover team league fees, practice field usage and lining, referees, team equipment (balls, goals, goalie equipment, etc.), and a JERSEY.

Practices will be twice a week with games on Sundays.  Practices will be held at Ta-Ha-Zouka Park (905 Elkhorn Drive, Omaha, NE 68022).  More details will be available closer to the start of the season.
