The girls' teams are a part of the Mass Youth Lacrosse.  MYL mission is to help elementary and middle school aged girls in our member towns learn to play and enjoy lacrosse. Please do not worry if you don't have any experience with lacrosse. We always encourage new players to join our teams and our coaches will make sure we have appropriate practice plans to develop players of all skill levels.

 

Typical schedule:

Our season runs in the Spring from March into June. The girls play their games on Sundays.  Practices are usually twice a week. The specific practice days will be determined by your coach just prior to the start of the season.  Outdoor practices will begin in late March. There will be a few weeks of indoor practices before the season begins.  We strongly encourage players to make as many practices as possible so that the girls will be successful and safe on the field.  Your best source for practice & game schedules is your coach or team parent.

 

What do registration fees cover?

The registration fees cover team registration with MYL, referee fees, equipment costs, winter indoor lacrosse and field usage fees for practices and games.

Why don't girls wear protective pads, like the boys do? Is 'checking' allowed? 

The girls do not wear pads because physical contact is not allowed.  The 5th/6th grade  & 7th/8th grade teams are allowed to use modified stick checking (below the shoulder).  No checking is permitted at the 3rd/4th grade or 1st/2nd grade levels. 

 

How are the teams selected for each age group?

If an age level has enough players for multiple teams, the MYL requires two evenly talented teams. In other words there is not a 'top' team or an A and a B team. Coaches do their best to create team parity.
