About Us
The DM Lacrosse Mavericks is a club lacrosse
program that serves boys primarily from Oberlin, Martin and Ligon Middle
Schools. The program was
established in 2010 to encourage and assist boys from our area in their
efforts to become better players.
We have a strong family atmosphere and form lasting bonds with
our players. Most of our
players go on to play in high school and numerous alumni compete at the
collegiate level.
·
The Mavericks play in the spring from
mid-February through early May.
·
We are open to
boys in 6th- 8th grades.
·
Due to our program being a club sport
(not an official school sport) there is a fee (roughly $450) for the
spring season. The fees go
to cover uniforms, field rental, referee fees, equipment and supplies,
etc. We are open to payment
plans if needed.
·
We have
registration in early January via this website.
Currently there are no tryouts to
participate.
·
We have a
parent meeting before the season begins to set expectations and inform
new parents about our program.
·
Our home field
is at Oberlin Middle School.
·
We
play/practice Monday-Thursday during the week.
Practices run from 5:15p-7:00p (or dark
before the time change).
We leave weekends open for college
games or family trips.
·
Games are
typically at 6:00p.
·
For those who
are new to our program, we like boys who play multiple sports, but we
require that our players devote the spring to just lacrosse. It’s not
fair to other players who are present at practices and games to have
others only there part-time or who are splitting their efforts
elsewhere. This does not apply to players finishing winter sports like
basketball. I’m happy to discuss further if you would like.
·
We are always
looking for new players who have a legitimate interest in learning and
playing lacrosse, whether they have experience or not.
We
are especially fond of athletes from other sports looking to give
lacrosse a try.
·
Our program
provides uniforms and practice pinnies.
The boys get to keep their shorts and
pinnies after the season.
All other equipment is the
responsibility of the player (helmet, stick, pads, gloves, mouthpiece,
cleats).
If you have questions, please see the contact

Thank you.
