Albemarle Lacrosse is a developing community youth lacrosse program serving families across northeastern North Carolina. Our goal is to create affordable, welcoming opportunities for boys and girls to learn the sport, grow their skills, and enjoy being part of a team.
We're currently connecting with local families, coaches, parks and recreation departments, and community supporters to shape our inaugural season.
Our inaugural Spring 2027 season is recreational, instructional, and non-contact. Final age groups, teams, practice locations, and schedules will depend on community interest and available resources.
