Spring Season The DYA Lacrosse program is for students in the first through sixth grades of the current school year. Leagues will include separate boys and girls divisions in each of the first-second, 3rd-4th, and fifth-sixth grade leagues. Final league structure will depend on the number of participants signed up and the number of coaches signed up. The season will last from mid-March through mid-May.

Participants are encouraged to play each position. The emphasis is on safety, skill development, team play, fitness, and fun. The league is designed to teach the sport to players and parents. No contact in girls leagues nor in boys grades 1 and 2. Stick checks in grades 3 and 4 for boys. Minor body checking in grades 5 and 6 boys league. Equipment is required in all leagues as follows:
For boys leagues grades 3 through 6 - helmets, shoulder pads, goalie sticks, and protective wear for goalies will be provided for use during the season . All helmets, shoulder pads, goalie sticks and goalie protective wear will be returned at the end of the season. A $125.00 check will be required as deposit for this equipment. The check will not be cashed unless the equipment is not returned on time. For grades 1-2 DYA will provide gloves and helmets only, which must be returned at the end of the season. A $125 deposit is required. The check will not be cashed unless the equipment is not returned on time. BOYS in 1st and 2nd grade fee is $45 and includes a team T-shirt. BOYS- In grades 3rd – 6th fee is $70 and all players must have a reversible jersey. Because some players already have a jersey from prior years or from an older sibling, the jersey is not included in the fee and is sold separately for $29.00. GIRLS – In grades 3rd-6th fee is $80. This year we are moving to team jersey which the girls can use in future years of DYA play. The cost of the jersey will be included in the registration fee. All Registrations received on or after February 11th will need to include a $25 non-refundable late registration fee (total $70, $95, or $105 respectively). Parents are needed to coach and leagues depend on parent coaches. Training sessions will be provided by DYA to teach the basics. (Our capacity is limited only by parent participation and field availability, so parents don’t be shy about volunteering – no lacrosse experience required. Growth in our program depends on more parents stepping up to assist in coaching!) To find out more about the game of lacrosse and its rules, visit this site:
