Regional Lacrosse
OBGC’s Boys & Girls Lacrosse program is a regional one, which means that while it is not a travel team with tryouts and additional expenses, the games are often held in locations that may incur longer travel times.
See below for details for Boys Lacrosse & Girls Lacrosse Programs.
