Snakes Information

Our CORE Values

Positive Coaching - All of our coaches subscribe to the concept of positive coaching. We affirm that our coaches will never scream at, demean, or verbally abuse our players. We focus our instruction through positive reinforcement and strive to build confidence in our all our players, regardless of age or skill level.

Honor the Game - The sport of lacrosse has a history rooted in sportsmanship. Our goal is to instill the values associated with this tradition in all players that we have the pleasure of coaching.

Have Fun - We want every player to enjoy their experience at Snakes Lacrosse. We keep practices fun and try to schedule plenty of activities both on and off the field that put smiles on the faces of our players.

The Benefits of Snakes Lacrosse

Home Field - Our home field is centrally located to all residents of SW Riverside County. Alta Murrieta Sports Park is just off the I-215 freeway and lined to regulation lacrosse specifications all season long.

Easy Payment Plans - We are flexible with regards to payment methods and plans as we do not believe that cost should be a limiting factor for any child that wants to experience the sport of lacrosse.

Organized Practices - All of our practices are based on developing the skills necessary to meet the appropriate age range developmental goals for the sport.

Competitive Play - We believe that through exposure to competition our collective skills will grow. Our league and tournament selection choices are made so your child can get the best possible game experiences available.

Awards & Recognition - As every member of the team is instrumental to its overall success, we provide each player with a participation award. End of season team awards and individual professional photo proofs are also provided.

Team Web Pages - Each team has its own page with links to schedules and results, a roster, and statistics for our Cobra and Python teams.

Snakes Community - Our online social network allows all members (players, parents, fans, & competitors) to create a personal profile, upload pictures & videos, and link to other friends in a secure online portal.

Custom Uniforms - Players get to keep their custom uniforms at the end of the season!

What about gear and equipment?

Each player is responsible for their own gear (helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, mouth-piece, and stick). We have provided links to local retailers and some online lacrosse equipment retailers for your convenience. Most offer starter sets that cover the required gear. Many parents have also found great deals on used gear on Ebay and CraigsList.

When is your regular season?

Lacrosse is traditionally a Spring sport. Our Spring game schedule runs from March through the end of May. However, with the tremendous growth of the sport in Southern California there are clinics, leagues, and camps all year long. Make sure you sign up for our newsletter to stay informed.

Are your coaches experienced?

All of our head coaches have either been through the formal training sponsored by US Lacrosse or have similar on-field experience at the collegiate level.

Where can I find more information about the sport of lacrosse?

We have uploaded a great video sponsored by US Lacrosse that provides an overview of the history of the game, the growth of the sport, and the thrills you will experience as a player or spectator.

What local high school teams play lacrosse?

Currently two high schools in SW Riverside County (Great Oak and Chaparral) have CIF sanctioned programs. We anticipate that many more high schools in the region will be adding programs soon as the demand for the sport is increasing dramatically.

What is the Cost?

Each season, clinic, or tournament will carry a participation cost. Please click on the links for any open registrations to see the cost for that particular event.

Why do I have to join US Lacrosse to play?

Your active US Lacrosse number provides the insurance we need to allow your child to participate. The annual $25 membership not only provides our insurance coverage, but is also a requirement for other tournaments or camps you might choose to participate in. Once registered your child will be automatically subscribed to Lacrosse magazine.
