Duluth Drop-In Lacrosse League Starts Tuesday!

The Duluth Drop-In Lacrosse League (DDLL) is slated to begin next Tuesday night June 14.  The league is pick-up game format and welcome to all adults and high school players interested in playing lacrosse.  Experienced middle school players are also welcome to attend.  Attempts will be made to match players of similar age in games.  It is the hope of the league that enough younger players show up that separate games for younger players can be played.  There is also the possibility of having younger players play on a different night, possibly Thursday night after the YMCA youth league games. 

The goal will be to try to provide lacrosse opportunities in Duluth for middle school and high school players during their off-season, college players looking to play some fun, relaxed lacrosse, and adults who love the game and just want to play.  The game format will be "no checking" with stick checking allowed.  This will help accommodate varying age groups and ensure that the games remain more relaxed and fun with players working on their fundamental skills.  Participants may see college players from UMD, Chargers varsity players, former high school and college players and bald "old men" trying to rekindle long lost lacrosse skills and passion.  If you love to play lacrosse or you played at one time and you really want to dust off your old stick, come on out and join the DDLL on Tuesday nights this summer!
