Out of town players
The Bedford Cannons program is open to all residents of Bedford.  In the event your town does not offer a lacrosse program at your desired age group, there is potentially an opportunity to play with the Bedford Cannons.  However, please keep in mind, that this opportunity is only available if your current town doesn't offer a lacrosse program at your desired age group and is subject to the status of our registration numbers.  Should you have any questions, please reach out to bedfordcannonspresident@gmail.com.

Register for Spring 2024

If you intend on playing Cannons in Spring 2024, please don't wait to register. It's almost a certainty that we'll need to limit roster size this season as we've done in years past. We are one of NH's largest lacrosse organizations, and we often have to limit registrations to ensure we can provide the best experience to our athletes. If you plan on playing, don't wait to register!  We cannot guarantee your roster spot if you do not register before February 1, 2024.

Boys and Girls Grades 7-8

We are excited that Lurgio will once again be offering lacrosse as a school sport for both Boys and Girls this Spring.  Last year was the first year the sport was offered at the school and with that came a learning experience for both our program as well as the school's program. 

Keeping with the goal of our program to offer lacrosse to any Bedford child who wishes to play, our plan this year is to offer a full program on both the boys and the girls side at this age group.  Based on feedback from last year, we hope to have better coordination with the school program and to reduce some of the practice burden during the week while still giving the kids an opportunity to represent Bedford on the lacrosse field on the weekends.  Come the Spring, should our registration numbers not support a team at this age group, we will offer partial refunds for the Spring portion of our program offering.

Indoor Skills Sessions

We view our indoor skills sessions as a huge differentiator between the Cannons and other programs, and value the 'head start' our athletes get by attending. 

Please see below for important notes around this year's indoor skills sessions:

  • Indoor skills sessions are included in the tuition for anyone who registers for Grades 1-8. Only athletes who have registered may attend. Full equipment is required for indoor skills. 
  • Indoor skills are not for Little Laxers.
  • Skills will be run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays starting January 16th through the first week of April at the NH Sportsplex in Bedford NH. 
  • Days, times, and all details related to the Indoor Skills can be found here: https://www.bedfordcannons.org/news_article/show/849095

Team Evaluations and Placements

A quick note about evaluations - when it comes to tryouts for the Cannons, we do NOT "cut" players. Our goal is to provide a fun environment for athletes in Bedford to learn the game of lacrosse. Our evaluations are designed to ensure that players are placed on the teams that will best promote their development. 

Not all age groups will need to have an evaluation done.  As our registration process progresses, the board will determine which age groups and genders will require an evaluation process for team placement.  

In addition to our regularly scheduled indoor skills nights, we have also reserved time on both Friday, February 9 and Friday, February 16 at the NH Sportsplex. This was done so that we can offer additional schedule flexibility for each athlete to be evaluated, should this be required.

Volunteers Needed!

Our program is run entirely by volunteers.   We are proud to be one of the largest town lacrosse programs in the state of New Hampshire and we are continuing to grow.   As we continue to grow as a program, our need for more volunteers in our community continues to grow as well.   We are always in search of coaches at all age levels.  During our registration process, please consider becoming involved in our program.  Should you have any questions, please reach out to bedfordcannonspresident@gmail.com

Game Shorts/Skorts, Shooter Shirts and Apparel Store

As in years past, included in the registration fee, each athlete receives one shooter shirt.  During registration, we collect the data on shirt sizes and will distribute the shirts at the beginning of the Spring season.   

In addition, we once again are planning to offer an apparel store through Gear Up.  When that becomes available, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional shooter shirts as well as game shorts/skorts for your athlete and other apparel options.  We will send out communication when that store becomes available.
