THE METRO'S
FASTEST GROWING SPORT

EAA Lacrosse offers a fast-paced, exciting experience for both boys and girls that helps young athletes build essential skills like coordination, speed, agility, and endurance. With a focus on development, our program teaches fundamentals such as passing, catching, cradling, shooting, and defense in a fun and supportive environment. Lacrosse also complements other sports like soccer, football, basketball, hockey, and track, making it a great crossover option for well-rounded athletes. Whether played in its non-contact format for girls or the contact version for boys, lacrosse helps players grow in confidence, athleticism, and teamwork both on and off the field.

Elkhorn teams compete within the Omaha Lacrosse Club League with other teams in the Omaha/Lincoln Metro area. Games are held on Sundays (with the occasional Saturday for tournament play) at the Nebraska Multi Sport Complex in La Vista. EAA will have teams for 3rd/4th grade (10U), 5th/6th grade (12U), and 7th/8th grade (14U) boys and girls. The 10U girls will be more academy-style practices, but will hopefully have an opportunity for games as well, depending on the total number of female 10U registrants in the Omaha area.

INFO AND FAQs

WHAT IS LACROSSE?

Lacrosse is a fast-paced, dynamic sport that combines elements of soccer, basketball, and hockey, making it both exciting to play and watch. It is also one of the fastest-growing sports in the Omaha metro and continues to attract more athletes every year. Check out the short video below from USA Lacrosse to learn more about this popular sport: 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOYS' & GIRLS' LACROSSE?

The main difference is that boys’ lacrosse allows for heavy physical contact like body-checking, while girls’ lacrosse is non-contact and focuses on finesse and skill. This difference in contact leads to variations in protective gear (boys wear helmets and extensive padding, girls wear only goggles and mouth guards), stick design (boys use deeper pockets and can have different stick lengths by position, while girls use shallower pockets and one stick length), and rules. Other distinctions include the start of play (boys’ face-off vs. girls’ draw) and team size (10 players for boys vs. 12 for girls). 

PHYSICAL CONTACT & GEAR

  • BOYS: 

    Body-checking is legal and encouraged, requiring extensive protective equipment, including helmets, shoulder pads, arm pads, and padded gloves. 

  • GIRLS:
    Body-checking is illegal. Players must wear goggles and a mouth guard. Goalies wear more padding, but field players have minimal protection.

STICKS

  • BOYS: 

    Sticks can have a deeper pocket, and players can use either a short stick (40–42 inches) or a long defensive stick (52–72 inches). 

  • GIRLS:
    Sticks have a shallower pocket to promote quicker passing and shooting. All field players use a standard stick length (35.5–43.25 inches).
