Absolutely. Many FMLA players start with little or no lacrosse experience. Coaches teach the fundamentals and help new players build skills and confidence as they learn the game with their teammates.

FMLA offers opportunities to join throughout the year. Our developmental season runs from September through November, the competitive youth season runs from February through April, and high school competition runs from January through May. Summer skills clinics and Try Lacrosse opportunities are also offered at various times during the year.

Registration availability can vary by program and age group, so check the current registration information for your player's program

FMLA serves players who meet the eligibility requirements established by our governing leagues. Eligibility is generally based on the school a player attends or, for students who are privately schooled, charter schooled or homeschooled, the school attendance zone in which they live unless the school they attend fields a lacrosse team.

All students at Flower Mound High School, Marcus High School, and Lewisville High School and their feeders play for FMLA. 

Girls who live in Lewisville ISD, Argyle ISD, and most parts of Coppell ISD, Denton ISD, Lake Dallas ISD, and Northwest ISD are also eligible. 

Boys in Argyle ISD, Northwest ISD, and Denton ISD may also be eligible to play for FMLA under the league's geographic eligibility and mapping rules.

Because eligibility can vary based on a player's school, grade and home address, please contact FMLA if you're unsure whether your player is eligible before registering.

FMLA offers lacrosse programs for boys and girls in kindergarten throuh high school.

Youth players are grouped by gender and by grade.

Our governing leagues establish these age groups, which typically combine two grade levels into a team.  Kindergarten-2nd grade are combined for practices, but 2nd grade boys often play as our only single-grade youth team during the spring season. 

The exact team structure and available teams can vary by season and by the number of registered players.

High school teams generally practice as a 4-year cohort, but compete as Varsity and Junior Varsity teams.  We often have players designated to each team and some who "swing" between the two levels.  12th graders are not permitted to play on JV teams.

Yes! We have teams for boys and teams for girls at all ages and ability levels.

If you have moved from your previous residence to the FMLA eligibility zone, or if you have not moved but your player has transferred to a school served by FMLA, players are able to join FMLA after playing for another organization.

FMLA does not grant waivers for players to enter or leave our program. However, in certain circumstances, when another team is unable to field a full team, league rules may allow FMLA to accept players who live outside our normal eligibility zone.



If your player is currently registered with another program and you are considering a move between organizations, contact FMLA before registering so we can help determine what applies to your situation.

FMLA allows players to play up an age group in some circumstances. A player may only play up after consultation with the player's coach, player and parents, and any move must be approved by the governing league.

Players may play up no more than one grade level. Eighth-grade players may not play up to a high school team.

Because playing up is considered on a case-by-case basis, families should discuss the request with their player's coach before registering for a different age group.

See our Playing Up Policy for additional details and requirements.

FMLA is a community-based program, and lacrosse can provide an opportunity for students who are new to the area to join a team, meet other students and compete during their time here.

Eligibility for high school players is determined by the school they attend or the attendance zone in which they live.  Foreign exchange students are eligible to participate under these eligibility constraints.  Visit our high school girls or high school boys program pages to learn more about eligibility.

Practice schedules vary by age group, program and season. Youth teams generally practice two times each week.  High School teams practice 4-5 times per week in the spring and 2-3 times per week during the fall. 

Introductory programs and summer skills camps may have different schedules.

Your player's specific practice days and times will be provided by the program when you register.

FMLA regularly practices at Bakersfield Park in Flower Mound and at Gerault Park next to the Flower Mound Community Activity Center.  We also utilize other fields in and around Flower Mound occasionally.

Practice locations will vary by team, season and field availability.  Click here to view details about our practice and game facilities.

Check your player's team information for the current practice location and schedule.

Boys teams and girls teams do not practice together, but sometimes they will be on different areas of the same field at the same time. FMLA schedules practices based on field availability, field needs for various age groups, and coaching assignments, so the practice schedules vary from season to season.

Practice length varies by age group.  Kindergarten-2nd graders practice for one hour, 3rd and 4th graders generally practice for 90 minutes.  Older players usually have two-hour practices.

These times may vary slightly depending on a variety of factors including weather, field availability, and the needs of the athletes on the team.  Your player's program will provide the specific practice schedule and duration.

In the spring, games for youth are played every weekend except for spring break and Easter Sunday.  In addition, most youth teams will play one weekend tournament in the spring.  In the fall, youth teams will have 1-2 scrimmage playdays on a Saturday or a Sunday and one weekend tournament.

High school teams will play 3-4 scrimmages and one tournament in the fall. The regular-season, spring schedule usualy consists of 11-14 games, depending on the composition of our district.  There is always the the potential for post-season play in the spring as well.  Some high school teams will also play a pre-season tournament in the late winter.     

Youth teams play almost all of their games on weekends.  Games are generally scheduled between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturdays and 1 and 5 p.m. on Sundays.  We do not control the tournament schedules, however, so it is possible we will have one gameday with events scheduled outside of those times each season.

Youth home games at Gerault Park next to the Flower Mound Community Activity Center,, at Bakersfield Park, or at Chinn Chapel Soccer Complex in Flower Mound.  Our youth leagues consist of teams from around the DFW Metroplex, and we will travel as far as McKinney or Fort Worth one or two times per season for away games.  We make an effort to schedule multiple opponents when local travel is involved so several games will be played for those "away" gamedays.

High school teams play most of their games on weeknights.  Their home games will be held at Coppell Middle School North, at at Gerault Park next to the Flower Mound Community Activity Center,, at Bakersfield Park, or at Chinn Chapel Soccer Complex 

The High School teams play against District opponents from around the DFW area, but they do travel within the state for at least one game weekend or tournament each year.  If they advance to post-season play, there is the possibility of a second or third out-of-town trip for super regionals and the state finals, depending on which region is hosting those events. 

Youth: Most youth games are played within the DFW Metroplex. For away games, teams may travel as far as McKinney or Fort Worth, typically once or twice during the season. When travel is required, FMLA makes an effort to schedule multiple opponents at the same location so teams can play several games during the same away gameday.

High School: High school teams play district opponents throughout the DFW area, with most games requiring local travel. High school teams also travel within Texas for at least one game weekend or tournament each season. If a team advances to postseason play, there may be additional travel for Super Regionals and the state finals, depending on where those events are hosted.



The amount of travel can vary from season to season based on the schedule and postseason advancement.

Absolutely. We love multi-sport athletes and want our players to have the opportunity to participate in different sports and activities as they grow.

For youth players, missing a practice because of another sport or activity will not affect playing time, as long as you communicate with your coach about the conflict.

At the high school level, schedules and time commitments can be more demanding. If your player participates in another sport or activity that may conflict with lacrosse, please contact the coach before registering to discuss the schedule and determine whether the commitments can work together..

FMLA follows the Lewisville ISD and Texas UIL heat and cold weather policies for player safety.  These policies vary based on the age of the players.

Rainouts and field closures are determined by the facility. For FMLA practices and home games, Flower Mound Parks and Recreation makes the determination for our fields. For away games, the decision is made by the facility or organization hosting the event. Lightning delays and cancellations are handled according to the applicable facility's safety procedures.

When a practice is affected by weather, we make every effort to communicate schedule changes by 3 p.m. that day. Please wait until 3 p.m. before contacting FMLA about a possible weather cancellation, as field and weather decisions may not be made before then.



When weather causes a practice or game to be canceled, we will make every effort to reschedule the missed event when scheduling and field availability allow.

Players should arrive prepared with the equipment required for their program, plenty of water and weather-appropriate athletic clothing.

For every practice, players should bring their lacrosse stick, eye protection, mouth guard and FMLA practice pinnie. During the early part of the season, players may practice without their pinnie if it has not arrived yet. Boys must also bring their required protective equipment, including a protective cup.

For every game, players must bring their required protective equipment and wear their FMLA game uniform. See our Equipment page for complete equipment and uniform requirements.

Players should also arrive with enough time to get ready and be prepared to participate when practice or the pregame period begins.
