SJC Legends
Lacrosse

A new youth program โ€” developmental, recreational, and open to all players, 1st through 8th grade.

The Program

New for 2026

SJC Legends Lacrosse is a new youth program being run through West Augustine Youth Development. The focus of this program is primarily developmental and recreational in nature. There is, however, an opportunity for competitive play against other local recreational programs in Spring 2026. The direction of the program in year one will depend on (1) the number of participants, and (2) the playing experience of the players.

Practice

Program starts in late-January 2026. Monday/Wednesday at the New Solomon Calhoun Turf Field, 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Ages

Accepting all players (1st – 8th grade).

Games

If we get enough players, we will join the North Florida Youth Lacrosse League. Games will be on Saturdays throughout the spring in Julington Creek Plantation Park.

Cost

$100 includes: reversible jersey, all practices, and future scrimmages. Players are welcome to bring their own equipment. SJC Legends Lacrosse will help outfit players with no equipment.

Financial Assistance

Please let us know if you need a payment plan or other arrangements. NO PLAYER will be turned away for financial reasons. All conversations are confidential.
