Our lacrosse program belongs to the North Jersey Junior Lacrosse League (NJJLL) and follows the guidance of our national governing body, US Lacrosse. Our athletes will develop skills, grit, strength and experience up until 8th grade, preparing our players to compete at the high school level. All players in the Warren Hills sending districts are encouraged and welcomed to join our organization, including Washington Township, Washington Boro, Oxford, Mansfield and Franklin. We look forward to meeting you and joining the fastest growing sport on two feet.   Our program is certainly special and we look at this as a community and welcome all with open arms.

​ WTYA Warren Hills Jr. Boys Lacrosse program want every interested child to be able to participate in our sports.  Should you require financial assistance, simply request a private and confidential Scholarship within the registration process and/or reach out to the program Director.  If there are families with more than 2 kids registering for the program, please reach out to the Director.  Any family with more than 2 children entering the program will be free.  

We have not raised the registration cost in many years.  We still allow for the K - 2nd grade to play for free.  However, we still incur the costs for sports engine and the league.  We also have to pay for the fields and equipment.  This is all covered by the fundraising so it is very important to participate.

We also offer an option to purchase your own uniform personalized with name and number of choice (as long as that number is available).  This is not mandatory as we can provide you a uniform for free.

We also have equipment rentals if you prefer to do that over purchasing equipment.  Bond checks for equipment and uniforms are collected with a post date.  They are returned to you when the items are turned back in.
