The BYLA board and coaches have been working diligently through the offseason to bring yet another exciting season of lacrosse to the kids. Due to the popularity of youth lacrosse, BYLA has experienced a significant growth, including adding 2 new girls lacrosse teams. Due to limitations in field availability, we must cap the number of teams we can accommodate. In order for each player to receive the coaching attention and playing time they deserve, there is a limit to the number of players on each team. 

Burlington Youth Lacrosse program has been built on the principles of learning and sportsmanship, not competition and trophies. There are no standings kept, no league championship or playoffs. We play all players as equally as possible with the goal of teaching the sport and providing a fun experience for all involved. There are no try outs or cuts.

It was only a matter of time until the nation’s fastest-growing sport had its first Hollywood film!

“Crooked Arrows,” which was filmed principally in Boston and will be released here and other select cities tomorrow, May 18th, follows the path of a fictional Native American high school lacrosse team as it overcomes battles against better-trained and better-equipped prep school teams on its unlikely journey to the state championship game.
