Oak City's Middle School team
The MS team practices in N. Raleigh and plays other teams located in Wake County. We welcome all players, especially those players who are likely to attend Sanderson and Millbrook, as well as Charter, Private and other public school players who do not have a scholastic sports team they can play for.
Oak City's Spring season focuses on a schedule of games against other regional opponents and skill development at practices. We are focused on teaching the game using the Lacrosse Athlete Development Model that has been developed by US Lacrosse. All Oak City coaches are in the US Lacrosse development pipeline, with a Level 1, 2 or 3 certification.
Registration for the Spring is still live.
