Welcome!
We are excited about our 11th year of bringing the sport of lacrosse to the children of the Danville, San Ramon, Alamo, and Diablo area. The success of our program has helped lead to the creation of lacrosse programs for both girls and boys at all of our local High Schools. We will look to improve upon our success from last year, which saw over 650 players spend their Spring having fun, improving their skills, demonstrating teamwork and exhibiting their passion for the game.

This year our challenge will continue. We are again expecting at least 650 players. However, we believe there will be significantly more kids who want to play but the Scorpion Program may be unable to accommodate them because of limited qualified coaches. Therefore we may be forced to cut players after the evaluation/tryouts.
Register now as each age group has a cap on the number of players we can take based on existing resources. If you fail to register on a timely basis, you may be placed on a wait list. If you are on a waitlist, we will notify you whether we can place your son or daughter based on the size of the group and number of players on the waitlist. Your priority will be based on a ‘first come – first serve’ basis.

New Coaches and Assistant Coaches Needed!

Therefore we make a plea to all new or current parents (with coaching experience from other sports) with kids that are playing this year. Please consider volunteering to be an assistant coach. We will teach you the game and hopefully in a year or two you can be ready to take over a team of your own enabling our growth by another 20 players. We will provide coaching clinics, assistance and whatever else is needed to have a successful season. Please contact the League President, Phil Connolly, to find out how you can help. Be advised the Club is short of coaches for the Girl’s program and unless we can get volunteers, we will be unable to field several teams.
