Cocheco Lacrosse is a Dover-based youth lacrosse organization serving the towns of Dover, Rochester, Somersworth, Rollinsford, and Barrington.

Additional information about our programs by grade level can be found on the FAQ page. Cost for MINIs is $25 plus the $35 USLax membership. Team play for grades 1-8 is $180 OR lock in the Early Bird price of $150 by making a deposit before February 15.

Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.
PLAYER AWARDS: Cocheco is a development program; as such, we are not all that concerned with our teams' records. Rather, our emphasis is on ensuring players improve in measurable ways each and every season. As players and as people. MVP designations are traditionally bestowed according to data. Cocheco gives recognition for contributions that can't be so concretely measured. Our Nesman and Hitchcock awards recognize the player who works hardest at improving as a player, while Heyliger winners are recognized for being the quintessential teammate. As these character traits and habits are built over time, these acknowledgments start for players in 5th grade. The awards are given in honor of 3 men who worked so diligently to establish the Cocheco Lacrosse program: Don Heyliger, Greg Nesmann and Larry Hitchcock. Coaches will discuss these concepts with their teams. Feel free to start a conversation at home. The Dover Recreation Department holds an annual Heyliger Awards dinner. As the season goes on, please watch out for those adults who go above and beyond in helping make Cocheco such a terrific program for your kids and pass your suggestions along to any of our board members. A list of past winners can be found the award tabs.
Registration or uniform refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. USLax membership is non-refundable. Some financial assistance is available. Please contact our treasurer, Kris Cook @
.
Please recruit: in order to field a team, we really need first and second grade girls - five or six of them!
There is room on most teams, but a few 5/6 boys and girls would be terrific to balance those rosters. Spread the word.
Finally, in an earlier email, we mistakenly said the store would close Sunday night. It actually is closing Monday at midnight. Get your orders in --

COACHES: Submit your order and be reimbursed $25 as a token of our appreciation.
PHEW! We have secured time using the Blue Gym at Berwick Academy. Practices start Monday, March 18 and run 6:00-8:00, Monday through Thursday. Your practice slots will vary depending on your team, but know that these are the possible slots. You will be notified of the full schedule within a day or two.
RULES:
Park within allowed areas. TOWING is popular here, as is safety for pickup and dropoff.
Carry your indoor sneakers. Wear something else into the building. Fuzzy Darth Vader slippers are fine. Remember to change again before going outside so soles stay clean for the next practice.
Arrive 15 minutes before your slot. Time is limited.
Clean up after yourselves. Yes, we're paying to use the space. We are not paying for maid service. Plus, you'll need that mouthguard for the next practice.
Even if you have a balance with Cocheco, your USLax membership must be valid to take the field as that provides insurance.
Bring water and all your standard gear except cleats. Sneakers only.
If you cannot make a session, please advice your coach (girls side) or Michael Gallipo on the boys side.
We're all family here. Introduce yourself and have some fun!

As many of us head out to Dick's Sporting Goods to take advantage of the 20% coupon, keep in mind that if you're replacing gear, somebody could probably use your out-grown gear. Please consider posting what you have, but no longer need, on our EXCHANGE PAGE. Include size, details, and your price. Even though the item doesn't give you joy anymore, it could bring much joy to another lax family!
See you at Dick's!

4.3.2. Pass Rule only applies to 8U, 10U, and 12U. One attempted pass is required after the ball and the ball carrier completely cross their respective offensive restraining line before a shot can be taken at the goal. An additional pass is not required until the ball leaves the offensive side of the field beyond the restraining line. If a shot is taken before the pass is attempted, it is considered a goal circle violation and the ball is awarded to the goal keeper.
