Get Ready for LC New York 2024-25

We are pleased to announce, LC New York will return to a 3-season (Year Round) schedule:

Fall training/tournament play, Winter training/tournament play, and Summer Weeknight practices and 3 June Tournaments as follows. Here is a summary of the program and how to join. Note, this is a Fall-Winter-Summer program and not offered in separate parts. 

• Tryouts.  In order to improve the depth, breadth, and commitment required for the Program we will conduct an Evaluation TRYOUT/CAMP for the selection of players to be on our Year-Round team/rosters. All players (returning or new) are required to attend our Tryout to be held on September 11th on Randall's Island, Field 72, 6-730pm.  Returning and new players must attend at least one of the two sessions, or both. The tryout fee is $50, and includes a numbered tryout/practice pinnie (to keep); players are required to register for the tryout in advance; No Exceptions.

• Selections to the LCNY Program (READ Carefully).  Following the Tryout sessions on 9/11, conducted by the Directors and coaches, through an EMAIL INVITATION and link, the directors will offer team roster spots for each LCNY team (3-4th grade, 5-6th grade and 7-8th grade) to those selected. Families will be asked to respond immediately to the offer of a roster spot, so we will be able to start our Weekly Fall practices together on Sunday, September 15th (and Sundays going forward) and commit to the fall tournament schedule. The Fall Schedule is posted on the LC New York Website. If you are unable to make the tryout camp session 9/11, contact Director Mat Levine about arranging an individual tryout. 
• LCNY Fall 2024 (1 Day per week)—We assemble our teams. They will train/practice together with their coaches and Directors on Sundays (times and dates are now posted on our website). 6-8 sessions plus one November 9 or 10 tournament in NJ.
• LCNY Winter 2024-2025 (1 Day per week)—Our teams stay together during the winter and build chemistry. They will train/practice together with their coaches and Directors on Sunday afternoons or early evenings. 6-8 sessions plus one late February, Sunday indoor tournament upstate NY. Practices will be held indoors, historically at the City College of New York gym complex on the Upper West Side. If there is a serious/consistent conflict with a player's winter sport schedule, please contact Mat Levine immediately at 917-957-4409
• Spring (March -Late May)--No LCNY practices or tournaments.  All players are EXPECTED to play for their assigned Doc's NYC teams or comparable program.  There will be No conflict with Doc's NYC Spring. Although we are not practicing as an LCNY team program in the spring, due to the competitiveness of the LCNY summer scheduled, it is not advised to skip Spring Lacrosse altogether and then try to play LCNY's summer tournament schedule. 
• LCNY Summer (starts end of May through 3rd weekend in June, 3-4 days per week)--Same as last summer.  Right after the Doc's season concludes in late May, our LCNY summer Tournament season begins. 6-8 weeknight practice sessions. 3 weekend tournaments (1 or 2 day events). It is the expectation of the Directors and Coaches that all players selected to be in the LCNY program are committed to play in ALL 3 scheduled summer tournaments (last one on June 14-15, 2025). The Tournament schedule will be announced in April in the Spring. Check on this vs. other summer commitments (sleepaway camp, family travel, etc).
• LCNY Team Gear.  New LC New York is being designed.  All players will receive a Fall/Winter Practice Reversible.  Players will order a Summer tournament uniform, performance apparel, and selected equipment offered directly from our chosen vendors- details to follow in January. LCNY uniform and team gear is all included in the team fee. In addition, LCNY families will have access to a year round team store. 
• LCNY Program Fee.  The program fee for the 3 seasons will be $3750 and payment will be billed in 3 installments (September, December and March) To be clear, Doc's NYC Spring registration fees ARE NOT included in the LCNY fee. Registration for Doc's NYC must be done separately. 

Goal.  For 2024-25, our goal is to recruit the best players/families available who are willing to train/play together as a team in a year-round New York City-based club lacrosse travel program.  Commitment to our year-round schedule, loyalty, and a positive approach to learning the game are very important to us.  If you have any questions/comments, please do not hesitate to email us so we can set up a time to discuss them individually with each family.

Scheduling Note for Fall: LC New York’s program does not conflict with Doc’s NYC.   If you registered and paid for the Doc’s NYC Fall Sunday Program 2024 program announced earlier, you can register/play both in the fall schedule or Doc’s will send you a credit/refund; you then register/pay the LCNY fee separately in the LCNY Sportsengine Platform.
