Welcome to STS: Tampa Bay's Premier Lacrosse Program
Our Mission:
South Tampa Sticks Youth Lacrosse League, Inc. is dedicated to promoting and honoring the amateur sport of Lacrosse among the youth of Tampa Bay for the purpose of developing a love of the game through positive coaching, community among players, parents, coaches and officials, teaching life lessons beyond the playing field, recognition of all players, and, during regular season at the youth level, participation regardless of ability, talent or skill.
STS is an I.R.C. §501(c)(3) not for profit corporation.
Our Programs:
STS sponsors youth (boys and girls), middle-school (boys and girls) and high school club (Plant High School Boys and Girls and Robinson High School Boys and Girls) lacrosse teams. We currently serve approximately 440 children in our programs. Our teams participate in the Florida Gulf Coast Lacrosse League and we are affiliated with the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of US Lacrosse, the national governing body for the sport of lacrosse. All players during our regular and travel season programs are required to be members of US Lacrosse.
General Registration Information:
Lacrosse is traditionally a spring sport and our seasons generally run from mid-January through the beginning of May, with practices starting at the beginning of January of each year. Registration for our regular season programs normally opens in early to mid-December preceding the start of each season, and all of our registration is handled on-line through this website. Registration for our regular season will normally close by mid-February of each year. Beginning in 2013, we will also be sponsoring a travel program for boys advanced players (U-11, U-13, U-15 and U-17) during the May/June and October/November travel season. Tryouts for these teams will be in December of the preceding year. We also typically run abbreviated fall programs each year. Those will be announced in mid-August to early September of each year, when registration will open on-line for those events. Registration for fall events will normally close by November 1st. During periods when registration for our events is not open, you will not be able to register for our programs. If you would like to be informed of our programs and registration periods, please provide us your information and request through the Feedback link on the side menu of this page. Thank you.
