Lightning's Fall 2025 Spooktacular Free Clinic - October 25th (BLAX & GLAX)

Lightning Lacrosse is planning some scary fun for new and existing lacrosse players, both boys and girls in 1st through 8th grades, on Saturday, October 25th! Join us for this completely free lacrosse clinic, known as the Spooktacular! No equipment is required and no current USA Lacrosse membership is necessary.

New players that sign up for the Spooktacular and subsequently sign up for the Spring 2026 season will receive a free lacrosse stick! Current Lightning players that refer a new player to the Spooktacular will receive $25 off their player registration for Spring 2026 if the new player also signs up for the Spring 2026 season! This $25 discount is in addition to the $25 discount for early bird registration - that's $50 off the player registration for Spring 2026! For purposes of this promotion, new players can be former Lightning players - provided they did not play with Lightning Lacrosse in Spring 2025. 

Please use the link in the upper right portion of this page to register for the Spooktacular. Both new and current Lightning players must register for the Spooktacular in order to qualify for the "free stick or $25 off" promotion. 

       


Lightning Lacrosse Spring Tournaments Discontinued

August 12, 2025

With an ever-dwindling pool of players from which to draw parent-volunteers, it has become increasingly difficult for Lightning Lacrosse to effectively plan and organize its Playday (girls) and Thunderbolt (boys) spring lacrosse tournaments. With this in mind, the Board of Trustees for Lightning Lacrosse has decided to discontinue these spring lacrosse tournaments. We are sad to see our tournaments come to an end, but we are delighted with the memories that past tournaments have created for generations of lacrosse players, parents and coaches representing teams from all over the state. Lightning Lacrosse hosted its spring lacrosse tournaments in West Windsor Community Park dating back several decades with only 2020 and 2021 as years missed due to the pandemic. Lightning Lacrosse would like to express sincere gratitude and appreciation for the decades of support that we have received from participating clubs, teams, players, parents, sponsors, vendors, officials, and volunteers. And special thanks to West Windsor Township and its residents for the unwavering commitment to support our spring lacrosse tournaments.
