Hello and Welcome to Cocheco Lacrosse. Here is some helpful information related to the 2025 season:
- 2025 Season cost is $225. Discounts and financial assistance are available from the club. Please inquire as to what assistance may be needed (financial, equipment, etc.) - cochecolax603@gmail.com
- Our season starts in early March with pre-season practices twice per week
- Pre-season practices will be Tuesday and Thursday's from 6-8pm under the lights at UNH on one of their turf fields. Age groups will have 1hr slots within the 6-8pm window. U8 groups may practice for shorter time frames weather permitting. The cost of turf rental in the pre-season is covered by your registration fee.
- The regular season kicks-off with a lacrosse festival in Epping in late March, called LaxJam. Cocheco covers the cost of the tournament as part of your registration fee.
- Kids will receive a Cocheco game day reversible jersey as part of your registration fee. An optional shooter shirt is available for purchase at $30 during the checkout process.
- Boy's will need to be outfitted with a helmet, mouth guard, stick, NOCSAE approved shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, cup and cleats.
- Girls will need to be outfitted with an eye cage, stick and mouth guard
- Our boys and girls u8 programs will play in the Seacoast Area Youth Lacrosse League (SAYLL) so that game travel will only be in the seacoast within 20 minutes or so and they will play 6 v 6 small field.
- Our u10 girls and boys will play in the New Hampshire Youth Lacrosse Association (NHYLA), with game on Sundays, all within about 60-80 minutes from Dover. This age group will play 6v6 small field.
- Our u12 and u14 boys and girls will play in NHYLA with games on Sundays within 60-80 minutes from Dover and will play 10v10 or 12v12 full field play.
- Our home field is the Strafford county complex in Dover, NH where we have two small fields and one full field that we shared with Dover Youth Football.
- Once our home field is ready, we move practices from UNH to the county complex in Dover.
- We work hard to coordinate with middle school coaches so that our u14 players have the opportunity to play for both Cocheco and their middle school if they are looking for more stick time.
