Wenatchee Valley Lacrosse at the Youth level offers strong training and games reinforcing team development throughout the spring (March, after the snow melts - May) season. The youth organization is a member of the Central Washington Lacrosse League. Teams participate in several league games and/or tournaments, one of which is the Washington State Tournament.
Players may enter at any age group with no skill to highly experienced. The Wenatchee Valley Lacrosse program has established a reputation for developing new players and making strong players even better.
The rules are based on boys lacrosse; however, girls do fully participate with the teams.
The team hosts games at the Apple Bowl or Triangle Park, fields with Wenatchee High School, and travels to play teams throughout Washington State.
