Lacrosse is a new and rapidly growing sport across the United States. Dunlap Youth Lacrosse strives to provide clinic/workshop opportunities to interested families to try the sport before signing up for our full season in Spring. The clinics are also a great chance to get questions answered about the game and overall season.

To continue to grow our program players outside of Dunlap are welcome! No residency requirements!

NEW: Dunlap school district currently has a co-op with Peoria and IVC school districts for IHSA lacrosse.

For information about Dunlap Youth Lacrosse, please contact our Lacrosse Director, Liz Hansen at liz.dunlaplax@gmail.com

New and returning player clinic: We had nearly 60 kids participating! Thank you to those who came.

COACHES: February 4th from 6-8pm we will have a coaching clinic put on by Dylan Abplanalp from True Lacrosse at The Yard in Peoria.

Indoor practices for Spring season begin February 25th running on Sundays and Wednesdays. 

Save the date: "Rec day" for girls youth lacrosse featured at the Dunlap girls high school game and tailgate party on April 6th, 2024. Boys date TBD. 

The fall skills workshop clinic was a great success with 70+ kids registered! Thank you to all who participated.
