LACROSSE NEWS RELEASE
Exciting news for sports enthusiasts in Los Alamos! A new girls lacrosse program is launching
in Spring 2025, offering middle and high school girls the chance to join a Junior Varsity (JV)
team and experience the thrill of one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. Registration is now open at www.laylax.org, and there is no cost to sign up.
This initiative comes as a response to a void in the community. After several years without a
girls lacrosse program, Los Alamos is taking a bold step to revive the sport and provide a fresh
opportunity for young athletes to develop teamwork, leadership, and athletic skills.
Open Call for Volunteers
To make this program a success, we are seeking enthusiastic volunteers who have played girls
lacrosse in high school or college to assist with coaching or mentoring. If you have a passion for
the sport and a desire to give back, we encourage you to get involved and help shape the next
generation of lacrosse players.
Program Highlights:
Who Can Join: Middle and high school girls.
Cost: Registration is free.
Equipment: Rental equipment will be available for participants.
“We are excited to bring lacrosse back to Los Alamos,” said Sarah Birocco, a freshman at Los
Alamos High School who is spearheading the launch. “This program is about more than just playing a sport. It’s about building confidence, fostering friendships, and giving our peers a
platform to shine.”
The new JV team will compete in New Mexico’s growing lacrosse community, this Spring in 2025, offering players a chance to showcase their skills and gain valuable competitive experience. Whether participants are seasoned athletes or picking up a lacrosse stick for the first time, this program promises to be a rewarding and fun-filled journey.
Lacrosse in Los Alamos is available for youth of all ages, for co-ed teams for the youth program
and high school boys. For more information, to register, or to express interest in volunteering,

in Los Alamos and give our young athletes the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.
