We proudly present our Birmingham Bulldog Lacrosse High School Program for 2024/25. This program is independent and complementary to the spring Birmingham United High School Team (JV/Varsity). Our three-season program is part of the Birmingham Youth Lacrosse and Alumni Association, which has been organizing and developing lacrosse players in our area since 1989.
Each season has a slightly different purpose, but all share these objectives:
Improve individual skills
Develop as a team (consistent principles that fit the BU programs)
Encourage a love of the game and your teammates
Grow young men into leaders
Alumni of the program coach all programs. Non-alumni specialist coaches may be brought in to support particular clinics/positional development.
Birmingham Bulldog High School Level training and competitive teams are open to students who attend either Birmingham Groves or Birmingham Seaholm High Schools.
