Lacrosse
Bay View now offers Lacrosse at the Varsity, Junior Varsity and Club levels in the Spring Season. This competitive sport is for the athlete who enjoys a fast moving game, has quick reflexes, good eye-hand coordination and good running ability. Acheivements: Last season, our first in RIIL, we were regular season Division II North Co-Champions and finished second in the State Championship. Six Athletes were named All-Division. Who May Join: Varsity and Junior Varsity invite students in grades 9 - 12. For those students in grades 6 - 12 who are just hoping to learn the game, the Club Team meets on Saturdays for the spring season. No prior experience is needed, many new athletes will pick up the game quickly and experienced Lacrosse players will find the level of play competitive. How Do I Join? Students must have the proper athletic forms on file prior to the start of the season. Sign-ups will be posted and information regarding tryouts will be readily available.
