Cobham lacrosse has two categories of membership: Juniors and Seniors and a Sport for All selection policy.
Cobham Lacrosse offers both Mini-Field Lacrosse and Field Lacrosse. Mini-Field Lacrosse is a non-contact version of lacrosse, where players are introduced to field sticks and playing with a hard ball. This allows girls to develop their field skills earlier, as they do in the US.
Those under the age of 11 (Years 4 - 6) will start in Mini-Field Lacrosse. Those aged 11+ (Years 7 - 10) will start in Field Lacrosse. All ages are required to wear gum shields. The junior league ends at U15, when girls move up to our Senior section to play for the mixed age group First Team - as they do in most school systems.
Cobham First Team (Year 11+) provides the pathway for juniors to both the senior game and to coaching and umpiring opportunities (click here for more information). The junior league ends at U15 and therefore our First Team play in the senior league. This means that the First Team is largely comprised of players aged 15 - 18 (Years 11 - 13) who have moved up from the Junior section, although we welcome players of any age.
We currently have spaces in all age groups for the 2019/20 season.
Waiting lists: If you complete the membership form (please read 'How to join' below first), we will reply to confirm either that we have a place or that you have been placed on the waiting list, which is ordered by the date and time on the form submitted.
Annual renewal for existing members: Existing members are sent renewal information at the end of each season that guarantees them a place for the following season, provided they pay by 30th June. We open to new members again in July.
All members who play league matches (U13, U15 & First Team) are required to be registered with the English Lacrosse Association. Parent helpers are also encouraged to join the ELA. Find out how to register here.
Fees for the 2019/20 season are as follows:
£25 one-off new members’ fee plus:
| Juniors | Mini-Field | £160 |
|---|---|---|
| Field | £160 | |
| Firsts | U16+ | £160 |
Due to the increasing number of players joining us mid-season, we have introduced a sliding scale of membership fees, as set out below. The half term dates are set out here and the fee amount will apply to those joining at any time during the periods shown.
£25 one-off new members’ fee plus:
| Full Season | After October half term |
After Christmas | After February half term |
|---|---|---|---|
| £160 | £115 | £70 | £40 |
Once you have submitted a membership enquiry, we will confirm the amount of fees payable.
If you would like to make a joining enquiry, please complete the Membership Enquiry Form. We aim to respond to all membership enquiries within 2 working days, although response times may be longer during the school holidays (the Club is run entirely by parent volunteers). Once you have submitted the form, you will receive an automatic reply confirming receipt of your enquiry and further contact details.
Please take care to complete the DATE OF BIRTH field in the correct format, so we can see what age group you are interested in. Forms submitted with the incorrect format show this field as blank. The name on the form should be that of the prospective member. Junior members can add a parent name at the bottom of the form.
If you have any PROBLEMS completing the Membership Enquiry Form, please note that certain fields have 'pop up' style boxes. You may need to allow pop ups for our site in order to edit these fields. Or try completing the form on a different browser or computer. If that does not resolve the problem, please contact the Membership Secretary here.
