Eligibility Rec Lacrosse Matters — Help Grow the Game

Recreational lacrosse matters. It is the foundation upon which this great game is grown. Every Jaws player is required to participate in a recreational lacrosse program, but it does not have to be Riptide. Players may not play for another regional travel club during the same season.
