LACROSSE MONKEY has not charged late fees in the past but it is important to note that tournament fees have to be paid by the club up to a year in advance

to secure spots. We feel in order to make reservations and commitments we need to collect membership and tournament fees up front and ask that when families make the commitment to tournaments, the fees get paid by due dates. LACROSSE MONKEY does have payment plans and will work with families to ensure this financial obligation is accessiblefor all.

OTHER FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:LACROSSE MONKEY believes every player should have theoption to participate in an organized lacrosse team. If you or your family has financial restraints, LACROSSE MONKEY will discuss fundraisingand additional payment options to assist you. Every girl counts!

INSURANCE: ALL athletes must be members of USLACROSSE. All venue holders require this of participating athletes. Go to to register online. Failure to supply LACROSSE MONKEY with a valid, current US Lacrosse number and expiration date could result in the player's removal from the rosters.
