SANTA YNEZ VALLEY

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. We are proud to be entering our 6th season offering youth lacrosse to boys in SYV.

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

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.
