MACHINE Spring Teams
2023 SPRING TEAM REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

SPRING SEASON INFO:
Teams: We are looking to host two girls teams this spring – a 4th-6th Grade (12U-10U) and 7th-8th Grade (14U-13U) grade team. We may combine ages further if there is interest and it will help us field a team. Spread the word!
Team Format: We will begin our Spring Season by offering two program options on Sundays at the PSC from 6:30-8:00 pm:
4 Introduction to Lacrosse Clinics on March 26, April 2, 23, 30
OR
7 Indoor Training Sessions on March 26, April 2, 23, 30 and May 7, 14, 21
Games: We know girls love to compete! As soon as we have enough players rostered at the 5-6 or 6-7-8 grade levels, we will look to schedule games with local teams and/or join an end of season tournament.
Indoor Field Locations: Indoor practices will be held at the Premier Sports Center in Shelby (north side of 23 Mile, west of Hayes). We will play indoors until our outdoor field is playable and conditions permit in late April.
Outdoor Field Locations: Once weather conditions permit and the outdoor fields are playable, we will either be playing at Iroquois Middle School on Romeo Plank Road, south of 22 Mile Road or at Macomb Corners Park which is located on the north side of 25 Mile Road just west of Broughton Road.
Team Communications: We will be utilizing email and the website for team communications. Once we have a team and game schedule, we will utilize the Sports Signup Play App for our scheduling and in-season communications. Any cancellations, additions and tournament communications will be done through email, the website or the app. Locations of all events will be identified with addresses having clickable links to Google Maps for family travel.
Registration Requirements: Spring registration requires 1) Googles, mouthguard and stick (if you need help with the purchase of any/all of these, please let us know! 2) Membership with USA Lacrosse (apply for membership at www.usalacrosse.com and link to our club Motor City Machine)
Registration Deadline: March 12th, 2023
Participation Fees: An initial $175/player fee will cover the 7 training sessions; additional fees for outdoor field costs, officials costs, tournament entry costs, and coach stipends will apply once our teams are up and running (est’d at $100/player); There will be a $100/player fee for uniform sets as well (incl. jersey set/shorts/socks)
