New Albany Lacrosse Association
New Albany Lacrosse Association (NALA) is a non-profit club promoting lacrosse in New Albany and the surrounding areas. NALA offers teams for boys and girls in grades 1–8. Leagues include:
- NALA Grades 1-2 Boys & Girls Teams
- NALA Grades 3-4 Boys & Girls Teams
- NALA Grades 5-6 Boys & Girls Teams
- NALA Middle School (grades 7-8) Boys & Girls Teams
NALA’s objective is to give the players the opportunity to develop their lacrosse potential. Players are taught to honor the game, their school, our community, and themselves with actions on and off the field.
Parent participation is essential. Parents are needed to help coach, be team liaisons and be board members. Previous coaching experience in any sport is helpful, but not necessary. Training is provided. Please sign up for these roles as you register your child.
The New Albany Lacrosse Association will not turn any player away for financial reasons. If you need assistance with player fees and/or equipment, please contact Scott Passias scott.passias@gmail.com and arrangements will be made for your child to participate.
Registration for all programs will run from January 1 through February 13.
NALA Grades 1&2 Lacrosse – 2nd Year!
This will be our second season for our grades 1&2 programs. This will be a non-contact, boys and girls teams, local program with one practice and one game per week. This will teach the players the basics of the sport including honoring the game, groundballs, passing, catching and shooting.
NALA Middle School Grades 7&8 – 2nd Year!
This will be our second season as a New Albany Middle School Club Sport. We will be under a two year evaluation period by the school before being considered by the New Albany School Board as a sanctioned school sport. Registration will be managed through the Middle School and will run from January 1 through mid-February. The student athletes will follow all academic and disciplinary policies set by the school.
New Albany Lacrosse Association Website Link – NEW!
As NALA is growing, so have our needs. You will no longer register your child via the Parks website. You will now register your child and obtain all lacrosse related information through the new NALA website. You will need to create an account prior to registering. Please note you will be required to complete the US Lacrosse Registration during the NALA Registration process. This is a NALA requirement, it not only provides access to great information and training by US Lacrosse but it covers the league and each child from an insurance standpoint so that they can participate at the parks and in tournaments. All US Lacrosse registrations will need to be valid through June 1st of 2012.
