Our league, Massachusetts Youth Lacrosse (MYL), is the largest town-based recreational lacrosse league in the United States, with over 15,000 players in 1st to 8th grades on 1,500+ teams, led by 2,500+ active MYL-certified coaches. 

MYL is a boys' and girls' lacrosse organization, but currently only Newton's boys' lacrosse teams play within MYL.

From MYL: 

MYL assists town teams by providing leadership, guidance, training, and structure to all its community member programs participating in MYL league play and MYL's annual Mass Youth Lax Jamboree held every June.

 MYL provides training, certification & grade + age-specific rules of play for all our member programs, coaches, players & officials with a particular focus on player safety, sportsmanship & fair play for a positive, fun experience for all participants. Coaches are certified by MYL and trained to be teachers of the game and role models focused on character development, team camaraderie and players learning the fundamentals—especially the ‘fun’ part.  

MYL's primary goal is for all players, coaches, parents, officials & program leaders to have a fun, rewarding experience while always demonstrating sportsmanship on & off the field as together we learn, share & teach the fundamental skills and teamwork required to play the game well.  Our common objective is for more boys & girls to enjoy youth lacrosse at all levels.

We honor the game by practicing positive coaching, teaching life lessons beyond the playing field and by developing a strong community among all players, coaches, parents, officials, program leaders & fans that will last a lifetime.

 As MYL member programs, we continue to improve our lacrosse knowledge and program capabilities each season as together we learn, share & teach the game based on speed, stick skills, athleticism & teamwork—NOT physical intimidation.
