The Minneapolis/St. Paul area Middle School Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association (MSSLax), founded in 2003, organizes and supports middle school age schoolgirls' lacrosse leagues. The goal of the association is to facilitate competitive play for middle school teams, stressing skills development and sportsmanship. Summer teams will play games from mid-June until mid-July. A play day is likely. There are two divisions: girls having completed 4th/5th/6th grades and those who've completed 7th/8th grades. Home teams will provide umpires if official umpires are unavailable. Those umpires should be trained student players, parents, or coaches. The association is offering umpire training sessions prior to the start of the season. Coaches are required to attend a Manditory Rules Interpretation Meetings. And starting in spring 2008, all coaches for spring must be certified as a Double-Goal Coach with the PCA (Positive Coaching Alliance). More detailed league rules and regulations are available at left.
