The Berkeley Lacrosse Club is now recruiting players for pups and juniors lacrosse club teams. Fifth and sixth graders are eligible to play our the pups level team, and seventh and eighth graders are eligible to play our the juniors level team. We presently have coed teams for both the juniors and the pups level of play. Lacrosse is a spring sport -- the season starts in February and runs until late May or early July. Teams practice after school three days a week at the Berkeley Adult School (on University Avenue) and the games are usually on Sundays. Club fees for the pups are $175.00; club fees for the juniors are $275.00. Scholarships are available and equipment is provided free of charge to all entry level pups players.

This is a terrific sport and our players really have a great time. These are not select teams and we welcome any player who is interested in lacrosse -- with or without previous experience.

Can anyone recommend a camp or teacher for a sixth-grader who wants to learn lacrosse? Julie

reply to person asking about Lacrosse camp. St Mary's in Moraga has a good (hot) summer camp my daughter went to a few years ago. It was for boys (she was the only girl). It was overnight- I think for 2 weeks. Karen

There is a junior lacrosse team for middle schoolers in Berkeley, and many of the kids go on to play lacrosse at Berkeley High and other clubs/schools.
