Despite our best efforts to recruit and promote registration we do not have enough registered players to field a team this year. The league needs to form a schedule and we are unable to commit at this time.
Whitefish Lacrosse has come to an agreement with the league and Glacier Lacrosse to allow all Whitefish and Columbia Falls students to play for Glacier lacrosse for the 2021 Season. Here is a link to their registration page. https://www.glacierlacrosse.com/
For those of you who paid for the season, will mail refunds as soon as we can. Tad Wehunt will be joining the Division II coaching staff at Glacier this year to help the kids out and have a familiar face from Whitefish on the field.
This decision was made with the intent to still field a team for the 2022 season. We will be hosting learn-to-play and free lacrosse sessions throughout the summer and fall at the HS and youth level to encourage player participation. The WF board will be working hand-in-hand with the youth board and Glacier board to promote youth lacrosse throughout the entire valley.
Whitefish Lacrosse is always looking for volunteers to help inside and outside of the season. Fundraising and youth outreach are always two key areas that could use help. If you are interested in helping grow Whitefish Lacrosse and lacrosse as a whole, please reach out.
Thank you,
Starting Wednesday February 3rd the weekly practice schedule will be as follows:
Every Wednesday 3:30 -5:00PM
Every Friday 6-8PM
Practices will start Friday January 15th from 6-8PM and continue through the month of February. See our calendar page for location and times.
Hello Lacrosse Families,
Practice will be starting soon. We are working with the City of Whitefish to schedule space at the Armory. Unfortunately, after many years of practicing at the Armory the City of Whitefish has changed their scheduling process and booked 80% of the calendar in January, February and March for themselves and their after school and basketball programs. We are working through the details and some of the times may be later then typical and on different days each week. We will try to make this as easy as we can but please bear with us and make sure your player pays attention each week when the coach reminds them when the next practice is. We will add all of the dates and times to the website calendar as soon as we have them.
If anyone knows of an indoor space that may be available for early season practices please email us.
PLEASE reach out to any players interested in playing this year and encourage them to register as soon as possible.
Happy New Year
Hello Whitefish Bull Trout Lacrosse Families,
After an unfortunate end to our season last year we are moving forward as best as we can for the 2021 season. The state board is working hard to have a season that will work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This Season we are asking families to register as early as possible so we can manage team registration and game scheduling. If families would like to pay at a later date with a check or by credit card instead of on line you may choose that option when you register. Just click pay later.

Please help spread the word and recruit any interested players currently attending Columbia Falls and Whitefish High Schools. We are looking to build our strength as a joint team to enhance the player experience and to grow the sport of lacrosse in our towns.
Our practice schedule will be similar to the last few seasons. We will begin at the Armory in Whitefish January 11th once a week. In February we will practice twice a week and by March we will be practicing three times a week, hopefully outside. I will update the website calendar as we add practice times and dates. There is a map with directions to the practice location on our calendar event page.

MHSLA will be working on our game schedule during the month of December and we should have it on our website by February 1st. We will have a link on our website for helmet purchases also. WF Lacrosse will provide the helmet decals.
Uniforms will be handed out at practice before our first game. There will be a $350.00 Uniform Deposit this year. A check made out to Whitefish Lacrosse will be required at uniform pick. Once the uniform is returned to the program, we will return your check to you.
Whitefish Lacrosse appreciates all of the financial support our members and local businesses have provided to our program over the years. With the loss of last season Whitefish Lacrosse is seeking finical support for the 2021 season. If you or anyone you know would like to support our program, we have a sponsorship page on our website that describes our support packages. Our program is a Non-Profit organization and a receipt for any donations will be provided. If you have someone interested please have them contact Matt Lawrance. Matt@MT-Creative.com. 406-471-9602

Hello Whitefish Lacrosse families,
Following the school closure announcement from Governor Steve Bullock, we will be suspending our season. We will wait to see what the Montana High School Association decides to do for their spring programs.
The Governor states "social distancing is one of the most important primary protective measures to flatten the curve of this virus." We as a club will be following his recommendations of social distancing in hopes to control the spread of COVID-19.
We know this is a disappointment for our kids who have been looking forward to a great lacrosse season.
