Free Lacrosse Registration Form Template

Every question costs a parent a few seconds and a coach a few more to read, so each one has to change something you do. These are the ones that do.

• Primary and other positions. A starting point for practice groups. It is information, not a promise, and the form says so. A player who lists attack and midfield, or a field position and goalie, can be used in more than one group on the first night. Position names differ between boys' and girls' lacrosse, so edit them to match yours.
• Top hand. Tells a coach which hand a player carries the stick with, and who needs work on the other side. It is one line, and it shapes more drills than its size suggests.
• Goalie interest. A yes, a maybe or a no, asked in private. The ones who would say yes are often too shy to say it at the first practice, and the goalie needs a full set of protective gear, so you want to know early.
• Years and level last season. It separates a first-season player from one who has played club lacrosse, which is the first thing a coach forming teams wants to know. Lacrosse groups arrive with a wider experience gap than most sports, so this answer matters.
• Division and playing up. Lacrosse leagues group by age or grade, and which yours uses changes who plays with whom. The form asks for the full birth date, the grade and the division requested, and leaves the arithmetic to you. Playing up usually needs league approval, so it has a line of its own.
• Concussion or head injury, and shoulder, knee or ankle injury. A yes or no each, with the details left to your medical consent and emergency contact form. Stick contact, collisions and the ball are how lacrosse players are hurt, so these are the two health questions that bear on how hard you push the first practices.
• Jersey sizes and three number choices. Sizes collected now mean the uniform order goes in once. Three numbers, because the first is taken, so check your league's number rules before the order is placed.
• Equipment already owned. A stick, a helmet, gloves and pads, a mouthguard, eye protection and cleats, in whatever combination your league requires. The answer tells you what to bring and what the program has to lend.

A form that collects more than it needs is a form that has to be guarded for longer. Leave these off.

• A Social Security number. Avoid collecting one unless your organization has a specific, legitimate requirement for it. If your league requires proof of age, follow it, store the copy under lock, and keep it off any sheet that is passed round a table.
• Card numbers. Take cash, a check, or an online payment link. A full card number written on a paper form is a liability for whoever carries the clipboard home.
• A full medical history. The form has room for allergies, medications and one line of conditions. Everything else belongs on the medical consent form, which a coach can carry separately.
• A self-reported speed or ranking. A time a parent heard once is not one you can use, and a form that asks for it invites comparison before anyone has picked up a stick. Time it at the tryout instead.

This is the lacrosse version. The general player registration form works for any sport, and the lacrosse forms and templates page lists the other 5 lacrosse documents.
