Hello Astro Laxers-
We start Winter Indoor High School Lacrosse this Wednesday 11/16 !! Welcome to all Freshmen families! Believe it or not, it's time to start thinking about indoor lax. Just as in years past, we have two late Fall / Winter opportunities for you to get ready for the Spring 2023 Girls Lacrosse season:
1) Starting on Wednesday November 16th from 3:00 until 5:00 PM we will have indoor lacrosse at the Phanzone Sports Center (in Hampstead) every week until roughly Mar 15th (as Lax try-outs typically begin mid-March). Like prior years, these indoor sessions will include lacrosse drills and then a scrimmage. There will be numerous experienced coaches and trainers to help improve your game! The cost is $150.00 for the 15 week session, and registration is now OPEN and available at the Derry Girls Lacrosse website (www.derrygirlslacrosse.com - click REGISTER in the top right corner, scroll down the page and click Register again). Our second opportunity to improve your game is by participating on an Astros team in the Tomahawks Indoor Lacrosse League on Sundays. If you are a Freshmen, please call or text Mea Lally with your number and first and last name. Mea is at 603-370-9517.
2) Tomahawks Indoor Lax is at the SportsPlex in Bedford, NH and begins Sunday November 27th. The fee for Session 2 is also $150 for 11/27, 12/4, 12/11, 12/18, 1/1, 1/8 and 1/15. Last year we had enough players for 3-4 teams. If you are interested in playing on Sunday’s please make note of the following team guidelines when registering (we will balance the players and ensure we have the right amount of teams / talent to ensure a fun and productive experience):
Astros you will need to register on the link below by 11/15 -- In order to give Coaches time to make teams based on actual sign ups. If you register after 11/15 you’ll only be allowed to play on an Astros team if a spot is open. Freshmen are going to register for Astros Silver. Everyone else is going to register for Astros Black. Coaches will separate the teams before 11/27 and you’ll be told which Astro Team you are on. At this time, we expect one top level team, two black teams, one white team, one silver team and then a 7th/8th Grade Astros team. Please email Coach KT with questions at
Registration and payment for the Sunday Indoor League should be done directly on the Tomahawks website. Please click here to register https://www.nhtomahawks.com/page/show/376221-sessions This page is for players and free agents (since you are registering as part of a team, you will have the opportunity to select / note your team during registration - again see above for guidelines on which Astros team you should select). The coaches will review the registrations and before the first game we will reach out and confirm team selections and times for Week 1. Like last year, we expect this to be a fluid process and may ask you to play on different teams for different weeks.
Please pass this information on to any lacrosse players that you know, as this email distribution may not be a complete list of prospective players or interested participants.
If you wish to be taken off the e-mail list, please let me know, we may also have a few graduated PA player emails copied on this list too (apologies in advance).
For those of you participating in Fall sports best of luck with the rest of your season!
Please feel free to reach out with questions.
