​
Fall Paintball Outing
Traditionally we spend a Saturday in September going to Paintball. We choose a weekend that makes sense based on box lacrosse, so we will have that information for you when the box game schedule is released.
Winter Ronin
Ronin is our club program. Due to CIF rule teams cannot play under their high school moniker in their off-season. As a result, we play under the Ronin Banner (Crespi plays as Livlax, Loyola as LALC, Chaminade as Berserkers and Notre Dame as Westside Bears). Ronin attends 3 tournaments and a showcase during the Winter Months starting in November immediately following box season. All players are encouraged to sign-up for the Ronin Winter Program.
​
​
Our St. Francis boys do get a special discount on the Winter program. You will need to sign-up through this link that will eliminate the need for discount codes, you will automatically get $300 off.

Halloween practice
On Thursday October 31 we will host a practice at St. Francis. Players of all skills come dressed in costumes as we go through drills and finally have a short scrimmage.
Alumni Game
Each year we run an alumni game over Thanksgiving Break. The game is held on Friday, the 22nd, the day after Thanksgiving. All players not traveling attend.
Try-outs
At this time, we are a no-cut sport. That said we will cut for attitude if it becomes a problem. December 3, 4, 5th we will hold our annual tryouts for the team. This gives our players ample time to learn the game and work their skills in the Fall and Winter before putting them in a tryout to assign their team.
Ugly Sweater Game
After tryouts are over, the team relaxes and has a great inner squad scrimmage. The rub? Everyone dresses up in their favorite ugly holiday sweater! This is an awesome time and gives the team a nice finish to their Winter before finals.
Creator's showcase
The showcase is put on by Creator Sports California but is held at St. Francis and is amongst other things, a great way to showcase our players and facilities to college coaches. This will be the 5th year this showcase has been held at St. Francis and continuing to pack this event with quality players is a priority to keep college coaches interested in our program.
JANUARY TEAM TOURNAMENTS
This year we will be taking 3 different groups to 3 separate tournaments. As our program has grown it's made it more difficult to go to tournaments and make sure our teams can compete at the highest level. This year our Varsity 2-deep (which is our top 2 goalies, top 6 poles, top 9 midfielders, top 2 fogos and top 4 attack) will be going to Sandstorm. The remainder of Varsity will be going with the top JV players to the Catalina Bison Invitational. The Frosh and remainder of the JV will be going to the Airstation Shootout. We are making this distinction to ensure ample playing time as well as a focus on going to these tournaments to set the tone for a winning season at all levels.
​
Please note that this money does come out of the coaches pocket to go to these tournaments so the school will not be billing you, please go through the links or pay via a separate avenue.
​
Sandstorm -
Sandstorm is the largest tournament in California. It is held annually on MLK Weekend January 18th and 19th in Indio, CA (Palm Springs). The fee is traditionally $300 for our players. Hotels book up quickly, so it is suggested that parents make arrangements before October.
​
Catalina Bison Invitational -
This will be a new tournament for us this year. Traditionally this tournament has very good competition in a fantastic location. It is held on Catalina Island during their off-season. Getting hotel accommodations is not impossible late which is of course super helpful. The fee for this tournament is $250 for our players.
​
Airstation Shootout -
The Airstation shootout is held in Irvine at the OC Great Park. We love this tournament because it allows us to get our developing players into the appropriate bracket. The fee for this tournament is $200 for our players. Our Frosh team along with several JV players will be attending this tournament.
