Welcome to the home of the ANHS Lady Wolverines Lacrosse program! We are getting ready for the upcoming season and are in the process of expanding the program to give girls who attend ANHS a chance to learn to play the best sport around!!! Tryouts will be held sometime in December and the season will begin as soon as the Winter Sports season comes to an end. Please fill out the Need More Info form so that Coach Elkins can contact you with more information as it becomes available!
IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING JOINING US THIS SEASON, THE FORM IS IS NOT A COMMITMENT TO PLAY AND WILL ONLY ENSURE THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE THE LASTEST UPDATES AVAILABLE ON THE TEAM, FREE INTRODUCTORY CLINICS/LESSONS, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES.
The girl's season will begin clinics in Nov/Dec, and the playing schedule will run from late February through April for the Spring season. The costs are still being determined, but the overall cost of lacrosse gear for girls is relatively inexpensive and requires only a girl's lacrosse stick, girl's goggles, soccer-type cleats, and a mouthpiece. There will be a team fee of approximately $425 which will help cover the cost of a uniforms, buses, referee fees, and the coaching staff, but our goal is to keep the costs similar to the last two years fees and to provide a top-quality, positive, recreational experience for players.
Thanks for your interest!
Coach Dave Elkins
A SHORT, INTRODUCTORY VIDEO TO THE GAME OF LACROSSE: (and, no, women don't hit each other with sticks the way the guys do...at least not on purpose..:))
Girl's LAX gear: What you need and where to get it!
Here's what gear you need to start:
GIRL'S LACROSSE STICK (This and a ball you should have NOW and be practicing your cradling and getting used to every day!)
Although local stores such as Sports Chalet etc. carry most of this gear, the best selection and prices I've seen for the Girl's game are in Santa Ana at Lacrosse Monkey.
Here's the address: (The store is located near REI at the 55 freeway and Edinger)
Santa Ana, CA
1420 S. Village Way
Santa Ana, CA 92705
Phone: (714) 210 - 2949
Fax: (714) 210 - 2976
Do you want to know more about womens' lacrosse???
How do I cradle? I have the gear, but I want to get better. How can I practice on my own? Good questions! Take a look at this video. These six skills are MANDATORY for Varsity players at Aliso Niguel HS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any girls who would like to quickly develop as lacrosse players. Grab your stick and your ball, watch the various videos on this site, and practice the moves you see to get comfortable with your stick. Once you master these basics, practice them on the run and while playing catch with a friend or against a wall (Wall Ball).
Thanks very much to Coach Christa and Bounce Entertainment for this cut from her excellent Stickies I and II videos. If you would like more information about where to buy your own set of videos with much more detailed stickwork and training ideas, please contact Coach Elkins by email.
