A: The Jr. Wolverines are a direct feeder program for the Woodstock High School Boys Lacrosse Team.
The Jr. Wolverines are a part of The Woodstock Wolverine Lacrosse Booster Club, Inc. It is intended to help prepare players for high school play and is for players in grades 6-8.
We are a family of committed parents and players dedicated to growing the sport of lacrosse. We believe lacrosse teaches many values that are valuable to live life:
Honor | Leadership | Teamwork | Hustle | Commitment
You do not have to be the best player (maybe you have never played!). Bring your heart and your hustle and we will teach the rest. We forge more than just great players. We forge future leaders.
We Are Woodstock!
A: The plan is to adhere to the following age groupings for teams/divisions in Spring 2023:
A: All children in grades 6-8th who are residents of the Cherokee County are eligible to participate in the Jr. Wolverines. All children K-5th are through Cherokee Youth Lacrosse (more about that next).
A: The Jr. Wolverines are a direct feeder program for the Woodstock High School Boys Lacrosse Team.
The Jr. Wolverines are a part of The Woodstock Wolverine Lacrosse Booster Club, Inc. It is intended to help prepare players for high school play and is for players in grades 6-8.
Through the strategic partnership with the Cherokee County School District, players in grades K-5 are able to represent their school but play through Cherokee Parks & Rec (CYL). Registration, uniforms, logistics and management is through CYL. Coaching, vision and support is still through Jr. Wolverines. This is exactly the same arrangement as CYF and CYB. This is why when you register through CYL you choose CYL-Woodstock.
A special note, CYL does offer lacrosse teams for grades 6-8 for players that don’t play for a feeder program in the county.
Jr Wolverines and CYL work very closely together. Over the years we’ve worked to make sure that the kids have fun and meaningful lacrosse experience as they advance through the grades.
So long story short: Grades K-5? go to CYL, we’ll see you there. Grades 6-8? Come join us at Jr Wolverines!
A: Boys: lacrosse stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads, shoulder pads, cleats, mouth guard & protective cup.

A: Practice schedules will be determined soon. There will be a schedules page on our website that will have practice schedule information when it becomes available.
A: No, new players will be just fine jumping into the sport as many are just beginning at this age.
A: All coaching is run by Mason Wren - Director of Lacrosse Operations. The Jr. Wolverines and CYL also rely heavily on volunteer coaches. Each team will have a designated Head Coach who has primary responsibility for maintaining the team schedule, communicate with families, and manage their team. Each team will have a varying number of Assistant Coaches – and volunteers are always needed – who assist with practices and game management. All of our coaches receive at least minimum training from US Lacrosse (the national governing body for the sport).
A: US Lacrosse Numbers are required for insurance purposes. US Lacrosse provides Jr Wolverines and CYL (as well as most other nonprofit lacrosse organizations) insurance to run our program, etc. All players and coaches are required to have a valid US Lacrosse number. It's an annual Membership. Go HERE to sign up.
A: Your US Lacrosse membership must match your registration information to validate. This is a common problem and we have created a page to help with the US Lacrosse Verification. Find out more below.
