SANTA BARBARA SPRING PROGRAMS | Hotshots Lacrosse

Welcome to the 2027 Hotshots Lacrosse Season! We're excited to have your son join us for what is sure to be another fun and action packed Spring.

SPRING SEASON PREFERRED PREREQUISITES

Players that have never tried lacrosse before should attend at least one of the following:

Ignite Beginner Clinic
Fall Train & Play
Private Lesson with Hotshots Coach
SB Lax School Lessons

These experiences help ensure that the player likes the sport before the parents invest in the necessary equipment to play.

What is the SBLA?
Founded in 2010, Santa Barbara Lacrosse Association, Inc., a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, was established to provide area youth an opportunity to learn and play North America's first sport. Santa Barbara Lacrosse Association is renewing its commitment to foster the growth of the sport of lacrosse regionally, by creating more opportunities for young people to pick up a stick and play. The SBLA is committed to working in concert with existing lacrosse programs (like Hotshots for boys and Mission Lacrosse Club for girls) and other organizations who are dedicated to furthering the growth of youth lacrosse in Santa Barbara County.

MORE ON FEES

The fees involved with Spring League participation help our organization to reduce the cost of field rental expenses, referees, field lining and equipment, liability insurance, admin overhead, and coaches travel expenses and stipends for their time.

We can offer sibling discounts if that is absolutely needed. Please contact us to learn more.

All registrations are first come, first served until all team roster limits are met.
