Rams Boys Lacrosse at Central Catholic High School joined the Oregon HS Lacrosse League in Spring of 2008. During the upcoming 2011 season Central will again field both Varisty and JV teams. Central plays in the very tough Columbia Division.
Lacrosse is a spring sport and practice will begin February 21 and games start around mid-March. A typical lacrosse season includes 16-20 games. The regular season ends in mid-May followed by state playoffs. Since lacrosse is not yet an OSAA-sponsored sport there is a participation fee that covers a portion of the program's cost. Player fees for 2011 are $375 and, for insurance purposes, all players must be members of US Lacrosse (cost = $35). The team provides game uniforms and practice jerseys. Players are responsible for their own equipment. However, the team has some equipment and helmets that are available to new players (contact details to follow). Parent help in a variety of areas is needed.
Lacrosse has become the fastest growing high school sport in America. Keep checking back for updates on Rams Lacrosse.

In Spring of 2010, the Central lacrosse team made the state playoffs for the first time. We look forward to another great season as we build a long and successful tradition of lacrosse at Central Catholic.
