  • Athletes are responsible for all equipment including goggles and mouthpieces for each practice and game. 
  • Players are discouraged from joining or committing to other travel lacrosse programs that interfere with their participation on the Yellow Jackets.  If “Yellow jackets” are attending a given tournament, our players who are interested in attending that tournament must play on the “Yellow Jacket” roster.   We do not want to compete against our own players.  The only team that may take precedence over Yellow Jackets is your school team.
