2021 Section Runner Up Simley Boys Lacrosse is looking for players for the 2022 Spring Season. Every year, we have new athletes join, develop, and contribute to a winning team and culture. If you or your student are interested in Lacrosse at all, contact Head Coach Luke Johnson at [email protected].

 - We are a 7-12th program.

 - We can help with equipment for committed new players.

Quick Lacrosse Facts:

 - Lacrosse is the oldest sport in The Americas, given to Native Americans by The Creator.

 - Lacrosse is a phenomenal cross-training sport. We run basketball offensive systems and defensive rotations. Eye/Hand coordination is complimentary to all sports, but has similar aspects to hockey. Physical nature of the sport can help develop football players and wrestlers. Conditioning, footwork, change of direction, and interval speed is great for every athlete, but can mimic many soccer movements.

 - Simley is the second/third smallest public school in the state that offers its own program. MSHSL only has one division for Lacrosse, so we regularly compete against and beat some of the biggest schools in the state.
