Our governing board is actively searching for qualified candidates for the position of Varsity Head Coach/Program Director.

About Smithson Valley LAX: The Smithson Valley Lacrosse program was officially established in 2009 after some boys from the Smithson Valley area joined with kids from San Antonio to play with the team, under the direction of Dr. Keith Markey, playing for the north side of San Antonio at Concordia Lutheran. The following year boys from Smithson Valley were the majority of the boys playing the game. That year we had 28 boys; 5 from San Antonio and the rest from Smithson Valley causing the sport to catch on. Kelly Evers, an 8th grade history teacher at SVMS and a former player for Cornell Lacrosse, was the first to accept the position of head coach of the Smithson Valley middle school level team. In 2011, we grew into a full program, opening it up to kids from kindergarten to 12th grade to play on our club teams. In fall of 2010 we joined CTYLA (Central Texas Youth Lacrosse Association) for the 2011 season and with the guidance of a fantastic board and support system in CTYLA, we were a huge success. In the 2011 season we had 85 participants in the program, a mix of boys and girls however only played as boy's teams due to a lack of girls in order to form and independent girl's league. This was also our first year to enter THSLL as a D2 high school program. We did well and went to the first round of district playoffs, only to be defeated by St. Mary's Hall. After a very successful season in 2012, once again we made it to the second round of district playoffs to be defeated by St Mary's Hall. In 2019 we were runner up in the D2 State Championship game and have been a competitive force with the Austin area teams with deep runs into the post season. In 2024 we added both youth and high school girls lacrosse to our organization as we continue to support the growth of the sport. Today out program consists of 120 boys and girls representing our schools and community in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area

THSLL South All Star Games

Sunday 5/19/24 Hosted by St. Pius X

St. Thomas High School is the winner of the 2024 Bob Patterson Award. The Patterson Award is a award that is chosen by the four LOA presidents - Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.  The Patterson Award is awarded to one high school lacrosse program each year. The award is in honor of Bob Patterson, former President and Chief Referee of the Lacrosse Official’s Association. Each year, the LOA membership selects a men’s high school program for their sportsmanship, quality of play, respect for the game’s character, and the honor that they bring to the sport.

The trophy will be awarded during THSLL Championship Weekend on May 11-12. 

The Texas Lacrosse Officials Association officials voted to award its annual “Sam Chambers Award for Sportsmanship and Coaching Excellence” to both Mike Donnelly (Episcopal) and Nick Ignatiev (Bellaire). As in 2019, the award is being conferred upon two winners since the support for both coaches was very strong.  The decision to declare two winners of award was the preferred outcome, as was done in 2019.  The testimonials in favor of each coach were just awesome to hear.  Both coaches have been magnificent supporters of lacrosse in Houston, and both coaches are terrific role models for good sportsmanship.

Hi Lacrosse Supporters,

With gratitude and pride, we are reaching out to you for support for West Texas and New Mexico High School Lacrosse via a go fund me campaign.

THSLL & NMLL Expansion! (gofundme.com) https://www.gofundme.com/f/thsll-expansion

West Texas and New Mexico have an opportunity to grow the game.

The THSLL (Texas High School Lacrosse League) has extended an invitation to the four High School teams in New Mexico to join the THSLL.

Those teams are the Rio Rancho Raptors, the Los Alamos Hilltoppers, the Santa Fe Prep Griffins, and the Albuquerque Duke City Lacrosse Club.

In addition to the four New Mexico teams, there are the EL Paso Coronado Thunderbirds and the West Texas Midland Wildcatters who both currently play in the NMLL and THSLL.

That would give the THSLL West Texas district a minimum of six teams for 2024. A legitimate district.

We are also looking to add the Lubbock Lazers and Panhandle Lacrosse (Amarillo) to the league.

Lacrosse in West Texas and New Mexico has struggled to grow. The game is not well known there, but there are some great folks that are determined to grow the sport, but they need help.

The THSLL will not charge dues to these teams and will offer stability and opportunity.

All the NMLL teams would be part of the West district in the THSLL and still remain in the NMLL also.

We want both the NMLL and THSLL to grow together.

It allows for playoffs in the THSLL West District for advancement to the THSLL Super Regional playoffs and the THSLL Class D state championship.

We welcome any amount and are very grateful for your support - whatever the contribution. The THSLL is a Qualified Section 501(c) (3) making donations tax deductible.

Where do the funds go? 100% of the funds go directly to the West Texas / New Mexico teams. Your contributions go towards, start-up team expenses, equipment – goals, balls, sticks, helmets, uniforms, and field rental.

We thank you in advance for your contributions and for being a part of the growth of Lacrosse in West Texas and New Mexico.

Sincerely,

Mike Ormsby

THSLL Commissioner

When the clearing team passes midfield with possession prior to the 20 second clearing count, then the remaining time left of the full 80 second clock is left for the offensive team to place a shot on goal. On goal means a save by the goalie, a deflection off the goalie or the goalie’s stick, or the shot hits pipe. If the offensive team retains possession after a goalie save or shot hitting the pipe, the 80 second shot clock is restarted. If the offensive team does not place the shot on goal within the remaining time left of the 80 seconds, a violation is called and the defensive team gets possession. If the defensive team causes a turnover, the shot clock resets to 80 seconds also.

Visible shot clock:

At least one shot clock is operated that the players and referees can visually see from the field. If only one shot clock is used, the shot clock is placed by the table. If two are used, then each shot clock will be placed by the end lines.

Non visible shot clock:

A timer will be kept at the table and the 20 second clearing count, and the remaining time left of the full 80 second clock will be counted down and verbally communicated to the referees and players on the field. It is operated similar to the table counting down a player’s penalty time verbally.

I just wanted to let all know that we are working on the league’s expansion with teams outside the current THSLL districts – Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.We need your help. 

Our goal is to provide boys the opportunity to play this great sport in areas outside the current THSLL districts – Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston.

We are working with current teams in West Texas, East Texas and South Texas to help them join the THSLL: El Paso, Midland, Amarillo, San Angelo, Lubbock, Abilene, Marshall and Corpus Christi are all working to join, and all are in various stages of development.
We NEED the support of our lacrosse community to help fund our expansion and to grow the sport. Without expansion into areas the THSLL currently does not have teams, the UIL will not give Lacrosse a look at becoming a school sport in Texas.

We understand that this past year has been financially difficult for many families and businesses within our community, but we remain hopeful that we can work together to support each other and rise above these difficult times.

To give you an idea of what your donations could fund:

• $35 pays for one player to be insured by USA Lacrosse
• $50 pays for one coach to be insured by USA Lacrosse, which includes USA Lacrosse Level 1 Coaches' Certification Training
• $100 buys a case of 100 balls for a program
• $250 outfits a player with all of his safety gear and a stick
• $500 Pays league dues for a JV team or a new team joining the league
• $700 Pays league dues for a varsity team
• $1,000 outfits a program with a set of 2 goals

In order to reach our goals, we are asking for your support.                                                                                                                            We would greatly appreciate any donation you can provide. Your donation is tax free.

We have set up a fundraiser account on Go fund me: Fundraiser by THSLL BoD : THSLL Expansion! (gofundme.com)

The THSLL conveys their sentiments regarding the loss of Regent's coach Ralph Moccio to Covid 19.                                                     

Regent's loss is our league's loss also.                                                                                                                                                               

A truly terrible loss to Ralph’s family, the Regent's program and the boy’s he coached.

We at the THSLL are all family, and no matter how little interaction we had with Coach Ralph.

It still affects all of us.

Our prayers are with all of you, especially Ralph’s family.

Regents Knights Lacrosse on Instagram: “We are so saddened by the loss of beloved Coach Ralph Moccio. Since 2015 he was the big heart of our lacrosse program. He was a true friend…”

Thank you to all the teams the responded to the THSLL survey regarding COVID-19. Many of our programs have established comprehensive and detailed COVID 19 plans, however, it remains unclear to some THSLL member programs what preparations have been made regarding COVID-19.  As indicated in our email dated December 23, all teams are required to submit a COVID-19 plan to THSLL. As a minimum, the league is requiring the following:

1. Masks will be worn at all times by table personnel, trainer(s), coaches, fans, and the site administrator.
2. Each program must have a screening process for players and coaches in place (ie. temperature checks, symptom questionnaires etc...)
3. Fans will be required to social distance in the stands or on the side of the field that is designated for fan seating.  Site administrators will be responsible for monitoring this.
4. Players will follow the more restrictive policy of two competing teams with respect to mask-wearing while playing on the field.  These policies should be exchanged between teams prior to competing. There is a strong possibility that some of our member programs, as required by school policy, will require wearing masks on the sidelines and the field for both teams, including away games. If this requirement is in place, our member programs will be required to comply accordingly
5. Attendance limitations of the host school facility will be adhered to by both teams competing in any game.
6. At no time- before, during or after a game, should fans be allowed on the field.  Fans should exit the playing facility immediately after the game ends and wait in their cars for their players.
7. If a player, coach, or table personnel tests positive within 48 hours of the competition between teams, the program of the positive person is required to notify the opposing program and officials.  HIPPA regulations should be followed.  Additionally, the program with the positive player should notify other programs scheduled to play them within the next seven days.
8. It is the responsibility of both teams to communicate their COVID-19 protection protocols (wearing masks, temperature checks, etc.) before games. We recommend this information be shared on a game-by-game basis as there is a strong possibility that these policies with change throughout the season. This communication should also include any policies that limit or prohibit fan attendance at your game site. Team COVID-19 policies are posted on team pages.
9. Teams should review their schedules to ensure that district games are not concentrated towards the end of the regular season. To permit time to reschedule games in the event of cancellations, teams should leave adequate time on their schedule for this possibility.
10. In the event of game cancellations or rescheduling, the completion of district games takes precedence over non-district games.
11. The officials will comply with the requirements of the home institution.  However, all officials will bring and wear either a black neck gaiter or a facemask to the game and keep it on during the pre-game activities.  They will wear masks between periods or if speaking with someone up close, such as a member of the table staff; however, officials are not required to run with their neck gator up.  This complies with the NCAA guidelines to date. If a home institution requires more than this, the crew chief will confirm this with the home team’s head coach as part of the game confirmation process, which happens 24-48 hours before the scheduled start of the game. 

As a resource for reviewing or creating your plan, please see below the US Lacrosse "Return to Play" link along with the "UIL COVID-19 Risk Mitigation Guidelines:

https://www.uslacrosse.org/return-to-play
https://www.uiltexas.org/policy/covid-19/2020-2021-uil-covid-19-risk-mitigation-guidelines

Please also note that there are some good plans that have already been put together. You might ask around to see if you can “borrow” some established plans when putting your plan together. 

Given the unknowns moving forward, we ask teams to remain extremely flexible regarding cancellations and rescheduling of games. The normal start of the season, we hope, should give teams more time to work through any problems they encounter. If a team cannot host a home game due to field availability, perhaps offer your field as an away game to get the game in. These are not normal times, so we need to be resourceful to get through the season as best we can.

Non-Weather Changes

The THSLL member programs shall remain responsible for the payment of fees for making non-weather-related changes to the THSLL schedule. Changes to the schedule are defined as those changes that require the assigner to "re-assign" the officials in the scheduling system and include, but are not limited to, changes in the starting date, time, location, opponent, level of a game, and/or any other reason that requires reassignment, unless notification is given to LOA in accordance with the following time limits and reasons:

1. Four (4) days or more prior to the scheduled game start time= no fees or administrative charges are payable to either the Officials or the Assigner.
2. Between 96 hours and 4 hours prior to the scheduled game start time= SO% of the full game fee is due to the Officials (no travel fees though). This does not apply to weather-related changes.
3. Less than four (4) hours prior to the scheduled game start time= 100% of the full game fee is due to the Officials (no travel fees though).
4. Officials will submit an invoice/voucher for the game fees directly to the home team of record in the scheduling system.

Weather Related Changes

Weather-related game-day cancellations/suspensions should be made by a phone call to the regional LOAAssigner and Referee assigned to work the game, and THSLL shall reflect the change in the game-scheduling system at least four hours prior to game time so that officials can always check the latest schedule before departing to a game. Game fees and administrative charges for weather-related game-day cancellations/suspensions shall be paid as follows:

1. More than four (4) hours prior to game start time= No game fees incurred. No travel fees incurred. No administrative fees incurred. This is a simple "rainout" scenario, which does not incur any costs if the required actions are taken in time.
2. Four (4) hours or less prior to game start time= 100% of each official's highest game fee that was cancelled/suspended. Thus, each official will receive only one game fee (no travel fees though).
3. If more than one game was affected for the affected officiating crew, each official will be paid for only one game, which is the game with the highest game fee for that official.
4. Even if officials have arrived at the playing facility or begun to travel to the game, no travel fees are permitted for weather-related cancellations/suspensions, regardless of the timing. A game must have commenced for travel and game fees to kick in.
5. Officials must submit their invoice/voucher to the home team of record in the game-scheduling system for reimbursement of game fee(s) incurred.

Please review the 2020-2022 LOA Contract.
