ABOUT BIG WALNUT LACROSSE
Our mission at Big Walnut Lacrosse is to have as many children as possible involved, for as long as possible, in the best conditions possible. We believe strongly in the power of sport to teach life lessons and actively strive to create a positive, supportive, inclusive atmosphere that challenges players to focus on respect for themselves, their teammates, the officials and the coaches. We are “everyone plays,” but we are not participation trophies. We love to win, but we are not win-at-all-costs. We strive for balance between the natural competitiveness of sport and the joy of simply playing.
2025 CLOTH PACKS
Players will receive a hoodie and a personalized double-sided jersey as their Game Day cloth pack. Players will be asked to round out their Game Day uniform with black shorts or skorts, either plain (no stripes or designs, please) or branded with the Big Walnut Lacrosse logo. The Big Walnut Lacrosse store will have options available for purchase.

Early season practices will be held indoors (conditioning only, no sticks) at various school gyms. Specific times and locations will be announced closer to the start of the season. We will transition from indoor conditioning to outside practice as the early spring weather allows.
Sundays will be afternoon practices in the early season, then transition to Game Days. Sunday practice times are TBD but will be held on the turf at the Big Walnut High School lacrosse stadium. Thank you to our sponsors for making turf rental possible again this season.
All teams will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays at either Freedom Park or General Rosecrans Elementary:
1/2 Girls and Boys – 5-6pm
3/4 Girls and Boys – 6-7:30pm
5/6 Girls and Boys – 5:30-7pm
