Q: What equipment do I need to bring?

• Helmet (White preferred)
• Shoulder pads (must be NOCSAE ND200 compliant)

• Gloves
• Stick
• Mouthguard
• Protective Cup
• Cleats

Q: What grades are eligible for Rocky Select?

A: The Rocky Select program is open to boys currently enrolled in 6th, 7th, or 8th Grade for the 2025-2026 school year.

Note: 5th Graders and below should register for the Youth (TVYLL) program. 9th Graders must play High School (SWILA).

Q: Do I have to attend a specific school to play?

A: Yes. Because Rocky Select is the official "feeder" program for Rocky Mountain High School, players must typically:

1. Live within the Rocky Mountain High School attendance boundaries, OR
2. Attend one of the designated feeder Middle Schools (e.g., Heritage Middle School, Star Middle School, or specific zones of Sawtooth/Meridian Middle).

Q: My son is in 8th grade but plays another sport. Can he still join?

A: Absolutely. We encourage multi-sport athletes! Middle School is the perfect time to pick up lacrosse before High School. We accept new and experienced players in all eligible grades (6-8).

Q: Can 9th graders play if they are new to the sport?

A: No. Per league rules, 9th graders are ineligible for middle school lacrosse. They must register for the High School program (Rocky Mountain Boys Lacrosse) and will typically start on the Junior Varsity team.

Q: I live outside the Rocky Mountain boundary but like your program. Can I sign up?

A: IMSLA (Idaho Middle School Lacrosse Association) has strict boundary rules to ensure competitive fairness. Generally, you must play for the program zoned for your home address. If your local middle school does not have a team, please contact us to discuss waiver/boundary options before registering.

Q: Is a US Lacrosse Membership required?

A: Yes. All players must have a valid USA Lacrosse Membership active through the end of the season for insurance and eligibility purposes. You will be asked for your membership number during registration.
