Registration fees vary by team and age level and run through the club's online portal; a separate US Lacrosse membership is also required. See the registration page for current fees. (The 11th Man Club membership tiers and corporate sponsorship tiers advertised on the site are booster-club donations, not player registration fees.)

Gear is the exception, and it removes the biggest barrier to trying the sport: a first-year player in kindergarten through 4th grade who registers, and is a Southlake resident or CISD student, is loaned a complete starter kit at no cost. A family who wants to keep the kit pays a $300 deposit against roughly $500 of equipment, refunded in full if the gear is returned instead.

Season dates & schedule · Class schedule

What's offered

Youth-through-high-school lacrosse organized into teams by age; registration and schedules run through the club's SportsEngine portal. A US Lacrosse membership is required alongside club registration. The high-school teams play a JV and varsity spring season — roughly February through April — with a published game schedule. A youth fall season for grades K–8 kicks off September 10: grades K–4 practice twice a week and grades 5–8 play about five Sundays plus a tournament. Fall registration is also offered for the following year. Registration for the 2026–27 high-school season is open, and the club's site advertises two entry-point clinics ahead of the fall season — a newcomer clinic, and a Lady Dragon Lacrosse "Free Try It!" session for girls.

Spring 2026 (High School)Concluded

Feb 10 – Apr 24

Games · High-school teams play a JV and varsity spring schedule — about two dozen games from February 10 through April 24, 2026, against regional and out-of-state opponents (including a spring-break road trip to South Carolina). Home and away game days are listed on the club's game-day page.

Camps
Dates

The club runs a free Newcomer Clinic for boys in grades K–8 before the fall season — an hour of introductory fundamentals at Carroll High School (800 N. White Chapel Blvd) led by the Dragon Lacrosse program director, with no equipment needed. The 2026 clinic was held in late August; the club lists it on its site and posts the details on Facebook and Instagram.

Cost

The Newcomer Clinic is free.

Our take

Southlake Carroll Lacrosse — Southlake Dragon Lacrosse — is the community lacrosse club that carries the Carroll Dragon identity from youth teams up through high school. It's a nonprofit, board-run, US Lacrosse-sanctioned club rather than a school program, and it fields teams across age levels: a developmental path for younger kids and competitive high-school teams that play a real game-day schedule and send alumni on to college lacrosse. Because Texas high-school lacrosse runs as a club sport rather than a UIL one, this is effectively how a Southlake kid plays Dragon lacrosse — you register with the club, not the school. It's organized around teams and seasons, with a booster 11th Man Club, sponsors, and a spirit shop, so it's a full club community rather than a drop-in skills program.

Local Tips

A few things to know:

  • This is a full club, not a casual program — it runs on SportsEngine, so registration, team assignments, schedules, and game tickets all live in the online portal.
  • Membership requires a US Lacrosse membership on top of club registration, which is standard for the sport.
  • Teams span youth through high school, so the right entry point depends on your kid's age and experience — younger players start developmental, older ones play competitive Dragon teams with a real game-day schedule.
  • It's run by volunteers and boosters — the 11th Man Club, sponsors, a spirit shop — so expect a community-club feel and calls to pitch in.
Carroll ISD Connection

Southlake Carroll Lacrosse is the Dragon lacrosse program in everything but formal governance: it carries the Carroll Dragon name, its high-school teams represent Carroll on game days, and its Wall of Fame tracks alumni who go on to play at the next level. But it's an independent nonprofit club, not a Carroll ISD team — Texas high-school lacrosse is a club sport, so the district doesn't run it. For a Southlake family, it's the way into Dragon lacrosse: aligned with the school's identity and pipeline, organized and funded by the community rather than the district.

Credentials

Southlake Carroll Lacrosse is a nonprofit run by a volunteer board and committee structure, with coaches listed on the club's site and recruited through the club rather than as school staff. As a US Lacrosse-sanctioned club, it operates under that body's standards, and it publishes a mission, policies, and a board directory. Individual coach backgrounds beyond the club's coaching page aren't published; its credentials are organizational — US Lacrosse sanctioning, board governance, and published policies — alongside a coaching roster.
