Is there a Boys and Girls Program?
Currently we only have a boys program; girls are encouraged to play through U13. We would like to establish a girls program, but there are no plans to start one at this time. Anyone interested in establishing a girls program should contact any board member.
What age groups does Burlington Youth Lacrosse offer?
There are 4 levels of boys youth lacrosse offered in Burlington.
Ø U9 – Non contact games for grades 1 & 2
Ø U11 – Non contact games for grades 3 & 4
Ø U13 – Full contact games for grades 5 & 6
Ø U15 – Full contact games for grades 7 & 8
In addition to the regular teams, BYLA offers 2 Select teams
Ø U13 Select – Full contact competitive games for grades 5 & 6
Ø U15 Select – Full contact competitive games for grades 7 & 8
What is the cost?
The registration fee is listed on the registration page. The fee does include US Lacrosse Membership. Game jersey, game shorts, team equipment (nets, balls, practice jerseys, etc), Jamboree entrance fee, referee fees and league fees are all included.
Why are the sign-ups in November and December?
Final rosters are due to the league in January and we need to define the teams then. Unfortunately, due to league deadlines & maximum team size, if there is no room on the team we are unable to accept late registration.
When is the season? When are the Games? When do they practice?
The Youth Lacrosse Season starts during the first week of April and goes through the second weekend of June. The games are primarily played at 12 pm, 1:30 pm, 3pm, and 4:30pm on Sundays. Practices are normally held two times during the week and are subject to the coach’s schedule.
How many games are played? Are all the games in Burlington?
Each team should play at least 10 games between April 1st and the second weekend of June. Some of the games will be home and others will be away.
Where are practices held? Where are games played?
Practices are held at Mitre field and home games are played at Brush field. Brush field is the large field at Marshal Simonds Middle School.
How much is the equipment?
Players need a lacrosse helmet - NOCSAE approved, mouth guard, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves and a legal stick. Boys' packages are normally $200 or more (including stick). Burlington Youth Lacrosse will host an equipment night, which will give Burlington players a great package price.
