If your player participates fully in practices and games in the Spring they will  be eligible to earn half (.5) of a PE credit.  Students must complete paperwork with LTISD.

Lacrosse is governed by the Texas High School Lacrosse League rather than UIL. At this point, there has been discussion about a move to UIL by teams across the state, but this would change many rules about coaches and practice times. It does not appear that this will be happening in the near future. THSLL does encourage programs to follow UIL rules. In order to become part of the UIL, we would most likely need to see lacrosse played more widespread around Texas and not just in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. There are currently NO lacrosse teams in Texas that are part of the UIL, we are all part of the THSLL. THSLL also includes private schools.

Yes, as long as he meets the specified criteria.

Of course! Colleges and universities are very familiar with the way lacrosse has been developed in various states around the country and it doesn’t matter if our program is part of the UIL or THSLL in their eyes. Keep in mind that only NCAA Division 1 and 2 may offer athletic scholarships. NCAA division 3 offers academic merit only.

Absolutely, even though we are not part of the UIL, we follow all the same dates and guidelines for academic eligibility. If a player is academically ineligible at any time, he may participate in practice, but not in games.

Program fees can change each year, but are typically around $2100. This fee covers: fields, lights, district personnel at games/events, coaches salaries, tournament fees, balls (lots and lots of balls), goals, first aid equipment, medical staff for games, referees and travel.  Personal equipment such as uniforms, practice gear, gloves, sticks , Team helmets, pads, and bags are also required, but are a separate fee from the dues.  

Yes. Lake Travis is an academically and athletically competitive high school, so it will take dedication to balance it all. If a player is participating in another sport in the fall/winter season, he is not required to play fall lacrosse, which is the off-season. He should communicate his intentions with the coaches, and they can work out the details individually based on the player’s commitments. Spring is the main lacrosse season and it’s more difficult to balance two sports simultaneously, but any player wishing to do so should speak with the coaches.

Practice is typically held at least 3 times during the week. When games begin, practice schedules are adjusted. Each year the lacrosse program negotiates the field usage with the district, so practice times and days change each year.

Currently, Lake Travis Mens Lacrosse has both a Varsity and a JV team. This is evaluated each year based on the number of players and the needs of the program.

Yes. There is no prerequisite, however he will need to expect to put in extra time on basic skills in order to get the most out of team practices.

At this time, the program does not cut, but also does not guarantee playing time for each player or that playing time is equal.  Athleticism, attendance, and attitude all contribute to a player’s game play time.
