2024 Summer Tryouts
256 Lacrosse Club is offered as a summer travel lacrosse program. 256 is a competitive development program open to boys who have just finished 3rd grade through 11th grade. For each team, deepened skill development and lacrosse fundamentals are emphasized in a competitive team environment. Participating boys must try-out for 256 LC, but must also participate in a COYLL (such as Pickerington, St. Matthew's, Granville, New Albany, Bexley, Gahanna, etc.), recreational, or school team. Coaches will evaluate each player's lacrosse skill, lacrosse IQ, hustle play, position play, and game play. The 256 season starts once the school season is done (end of May or beginning of June) and finishes in July; it consists of practices and 3 tournaments. There is no cost to tryout!
Ages
256 Lacrosse Club will field teams for players with the graduation year 2033-2025. It is our goal to field a team at each grade level. However, it is possible some teams will be split ages (i.e. 2032/2033).

Frequently Asked Questions
When does 256 play?
256 Lacrosse Club operates during the summer months. From its inception, 256 Lacrosse Club was always meant to serve as an "in addition to" community/recreation/school ball, never an "instead of". 256 Lacrosse Club consists of summer practices (twice a week, 2 hours each) and 3 tournaments. We do our best to keep 2 of the 3 tournaments in Ohio and travel outside of the state for the third.

The 3 Cs....Cost, Coaching, and Community.

Coaching: Our coaches are extremely knowledgeable, caring, and approachable. Please visit the coaches corner above to learn about each of our coaches.
Community: 256 Lacrosse Club offers a family like atmosphere. All of our teams (so far) travel to the same tournaments and frequently stay at the same hotels when we travel. The sense of community is welcoming and strong from the youngest of the 256 players through the high schoolers.
