What are the costs associated with these teams?
Club membership fees vary by team and range anywhere from $750 to $2,000 a season. We offer multiple payment plans that you can select upon registration. A portion of each players registration goes directly back to supporting the mission of the HEADstrong Foundation.

No. Annual registration fees cover the entirety of the team program for Fall/Summer. We offer optional Winter/Box and Spring opportunities “a la cart” to allow our multi-sport athletes flexibility. Additionally, you are responsible for all travel and hotel accommodations. 

Do you offer refunds?
The HEADstrong Lacrosse Club does not issue refunds for any reason, because the money collected in registration fees goes directly towards paying coaches for their time, field space, insurance, equipment and other fixed costs. All of these expense cannot be recouped after a registrant has enrolled in our programs.

Who is on the team?
Our teams incorporate players from all over the Lehigh Valley.  

Do I have to come to all of the events?
Attendance is strongly encouraged, as we have a tournament schedule that we expect all members to attend.  All the other special events outside of the packaged events are optional. This schedule is provided by your General Manager.
