Welcome to the Cockeysville Recreation and Parks Council Girls Lacrosse Program.

CRC Girls Lacrosse Mission Statement
To provide a fun, safe, and positive learning experience for each athlete that promotes development of individual skills and tactics, teamwork, sportsmanship, and an understanding and appreciation of the game of women’s lacrosse.

The CRC Girls Lax Program caters to girls between the ages of five and fourteen. The program offers five age divisions: Tyker (5-6), Tyker (7-8), Lightning (9-10), Midget (11-12), and Junior (13-14). For the spring season, the two Tyker age divisions participate in an in-house program that focuses on skill development and enjoyment of the game. For the spring season, the Lightning, Midget, and Junior divisions participate in the travel league sponsored by the Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association (MYLA). For indoor lacrosse, the Tyker (7-8), Lightning, Midget, and Junior age divisions participate in a program sponsored by Baltimore County Parks & Recreation at Reisterstown Regional Park.

It is the policy of CRC Girls Lacrosse that all players play in their age appropriate divisions. The age criterion is defined by the Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association (MYLA). Please refer to the following grid:
