What are the costs associated with these teams?
Club membership fees vary by team and range anywhere from $1,750 to $2,250 and is subject to change. 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. In the case of an injury suffered during the season, parents can contact the Director of Lacrosse Operations for further information at [email protected] and anticipate an answer within two business days. For all other customer concerns, please contact [email protected].

Attendance is strongly encouraged, as we have a tournament schedule that we expect all members to attend. This schedule is provided by your General Manager.
Do I get a uniform?
Yes! Upon enrollment, each player will receive a link to order their uniform at no additional cost. That uniform will be shipped directly to your home.
What do I do if I want to get HEADstrong gear?
HEADstrong is committed to providing each player with the things necessary to compete. However, we also have gear for the parents and players to enjoy. We have an online store with the most up to date gear that is available year round! This is available HERE. Upon enrollment, a selection of player gear and equipment is also available for order.
What if I have questions about college?
