Overview and Mission:

Lacrosse is a fast-paced, exciting sport that is rapidly growing in the U.S. With no other lacrosse programs currently offered in the Hattiesburg, Mississippi area, the Hub City Lacrosse Program’s mission is to provide the community with both the infrastructure and the opportunity to learn and compete in youth lacrosse. In addition to helping players develop the skills necessary to compete in the game, participants will also learn the rules and get an appreciation for the flow of this fast- paced game.

Practice and Games

When is this happening:
Practices will begin the second week in January, 2024. Practices will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 5:30-7:30 at San Antonio Field in Hattiesburg. The Full Schedule can be found here.

Who is Eligible

At this time, we are focusing on 10 vs. 10, full-field lacrosse. We will have openings for two teams this year:

  1. A youth boys team for current 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th  graders.

  2. A boys high school team for 9th-12th graders.

What do you need

PLEASE VISIT OUR TEAM STORE or HERE to get your lacrosse equipment.

  • Lacrosse stick (between 40-42” in length). Players who have an interest in playing defense, or playing long-stick midfield need a stick between 52-72” in length. However, longer shafts may be purchased at a later date if this interest develops. (Recommended: a stick with a semi-hard mesh that is preformed. Several companies, for example www.lax.com, offer custom preformed pockets at an extra charge. This fee is usually around $30. Despite the extra cost, this will help beginning players learn to cradle the ball and accurately throw much more quickly.)

  • Helmet, Cascade XS, XRS, S Preferred, must be WHITE

  • Mouthpiece

  • Lacrosse Gloves / Elbow Guards

  • Shoulder Pads

  • Cleats

  • A Cup!

  • *For players interested in playing goalie. A special goalie stick is needed. The team will have a goalie stick that is available to use, but you are also welcome to purchase your own. In addition to the other equipment listed above, goalies must also wear a throat guard and a chest protector. These will also be provided by the team.

Registration

There will be a registration fee of $150 per player. In addition to this fee, ALL PLAYERS must show proof of membership to US Lacrosse Association ($30 for youth and $35 for high school). This is mandatory as it provides insurance for the team.

For 2025, the registration fee will be waived for all Hattiesburg Public School Students!  Hattiesburg Public School players will still need US Lacrosse membership.
