WHEAT RIDGE LACROSSE INFORMATION

WRLAX has three levels of programs - Varsity, JV and Level III. We are excited for all the players that are coming back and looking forward to the new talents next year brings. Our Head Coach is Chris Knott, who is a WRLAX alumnus, who brings years of lacrosse experience to our program. Our coaching staff consists of professional players, as well as those that competed at the collegiate level. We were successful in winning the 4A State Championship in 2013, and returning to the State Championship game in the 2014 season, which is attributable to a great coaching staff at all three levels. With 2015 we moved to the 5A, and made the playoffs both of the seasons in 5A. We are constantly striving to improve our team, and intend to be a contender for the State Championship every year. We offer teams that will support each level of player and will focus on helping them reach their personal and team goals on the lacrosse field.

Off Season Leagues

We will play in three off season leagues this year. All full field formats. We will play early fall, late fall, and winter leagues. The early fall league is through DLC, and is outdoors. The late fall and winter leagues are with Foothills Parks and Recreation and are indoors. These off season leagues are great for players to keep their skills up, and for players that are new to get used to playing in games. To sign up if interested in playing in the off season leagues, contact Lorie Helt at

You can also put your contact information on the sheet at today’s meeting on the table and we will add you to our emails, and keep you updated on any opportunities.

Volunteer Opportunities

We are always in need of parents to volunteer any time they can for the various needs of the team. This includes everything from taking the lead or assisting on fundraisers to painting fields, to helping as team managers. We need the assistance of parents and players regardless of how small of a time commitment you can make.
