The Firehawks is a youth lacrosse club dedicated to bringing the sport of lacrosse to kids on the Peninsula. We are committed to learning, playing and loving lacrosse. We primarily draw players from San Carlos, Redwood City, Atherton, Woodside, Portola Valley, Menlo Park and Belmont, although membership on the club is not restricted to a geographic area.
Come out and watch us in action, and see the FIRE and passion in our players and their love for the game, its tradition and culture of respect and giving back to the community.

Spring registration will begin later this fall. We are expecting a high number of interested players and have limited available spots, so we will need to have tryouts for all teams this year.
There is a mandatory meeting on October 12th for the parents of all players interested in spring lacrosse. At the meeting we will discuss the registration and tryout process for spring teams. Team tryouts are currently planned for the first two weekends in December (details TBD).
If we do not have a place on a team for your child, we will refer you to other area clubs so your child will have a place to play lacrosse this spring.
If your child is not playing fall lacrosse and you are new to the club, please sign up on our email list so you can be notified when tryouts are.
We are working on practice times and locations for spring teams, which will be posted soon. In general, the first practices start on January 29th.
