About UsOverview
Practices and Games
RequirementsIn general the best attempts are made to play good team lacrosse while leaving players enough time for study and other interests and commitments. Dues are $100 per semester or $175 for the year. Dues cover all team expenses on and off of the field with the exception of the Mardi-Gras trip. Players are greatly encouraged to bring their own equipment (white/red billed helmets and red gloves prefered, but any color is acceptable). The team has a limited amount of equipment for new players who want to try the sport. Uniforms are $80. Optional: custom team gloves ($105), custom team helmet ($100).

The team is open to all UW
students: undergraduate and graduate, full and part time. The team
has a long history of playing excellent lacrosse while still making it fun to
play and be part of the team. In addition to great on the field competition
and play, many players have found their best and most lasting college
friends on the lacrosse team. It's an excellent and quick way for new
students to feel part of things right away, and a chance to get to know
people of a great range of ages.
The team(s) are run as a club normally with 2
practices per week (currently Wed and Fri 5pm - 6:30pm) at the far west
intramural fields on the west end of campus. Games are generally on
weekends. We avoid playing during home football games as much as possible,
and try to limit play to one day per weekend. We do have 1-2 overnights
for tournaments each semester as well.
centered around
tournaments. These include our own Mad City Tourney, as well as
tournaments at Northern Illinois, Illinios State, Michigan State, and others. We
play predominantly college teams such as Marquette, Duluth, Purdue,
Illinios, Minnesota, Iowa, Iowa State, and Western Michigan, but also play
area men's clubs such as Lincoln Park, Chicago Lacrosse, Windy City, and
Lakeshore. The fall season is frequently capped off by a costume party/awards presentation over Halloween.
We have a traditional winter trip to the Mardi-Gras Tournament in
Febuary, preceeded by some indoor practices. The last few years we've
been joined on the trip by the UW-Madison Women's team, a great time is
had by all.

than a NCAA type league.
