The Corvallis Lacrosse Club started in 2006 with a few players who had a passion for the sport. As interest grew, a board was formed and the Club formally incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with the mission to support high school boys lacrosse in Corvallis, Oregon. The Club is a combined effort between the three public high schools in the area, which includes boys from Corvallis High School, Crescent Valley High School and Philomath High School. In 2023 we adopted the name "Corvallis Cavaliers" and changed the team colors to purple and black. As a club sport, the team is administratively independent of the high schools and receives no school district support.
Team size varies from year to year. The 2024 team had 25 players, 7 of which had never played competitive lacrosse before, to include several seniors. The Club welcomes all players with a commitment to developing their lacrosse skills and contributing to the team. We do not hold formal tryouts. For the last few years, we have fielded only a varsity team but consideration will be given to forming a junior varsity team as numbers and scheduling allow.
The Corvallis Cavaliers Lacrosse Club competes in the Oregon High School Lacrosse Association’s, North Valley Conference against teams in Albany and Salem, with additional non-conference games against schools in Portland, Eugene, Roseburg and Bend. We have 16-18 games a season, followed by post-season play. Games are generally on weekdays, and the Club provides transportation to most away games, budget permitting. Optional practices start in January; official team practices start at the end of February; games begin in mid-March. The team typically practices every weekday evening during the season. Depending on post season play, the season could go into late May.
