Cambridge Youth Lacrosse (CYL) will be offering the following options for the 2025 Spring season:

• Girls compete in the Founders Girls Lacrosse League (FGLL)
• Boys compete in Massachusetts Youth Lacrosse (MYL)

Based on age group, each Girls (FGLL) and Boys (MYL) team will:

• have 2 team practices per week (see schedule)
• have 1 lacrosse skills practice per week — Attendance strongly encouraged for new players
• have up to 8 Sunday league games (half home, half away - time TBD ) versus other towns
• participate in an end-of-season tournament/jamboree

Program runs outdoors March 22nd – June 14th, weather permitting.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

We will be fielding teams in these age groups:

Teams will be filled on a first come, first served basis. However, we will add additional teams by age group if the numbers support it.

Our Saturday Co-Ed development and skills program for both boys and girls 7 years old and younger emphasizes:

• Age-appropriate Fundamental Lacrosse Skill Development
• Structured Games
• Scrimmages

Program runs Saturdays, April 5th – June 14th, weather permitting, starting 10am at Danehy Park.

Prior experience playing lacrosse is NOT required!

Duration of sessions will be based on parent input and the stamina/attention span of this year's "flock" of Future Falcons.

Depending on numbers, we will schedule one-off scrimmages with other programs as parents see fit.

We look to field both U13(5th & 6th Grade) and U15(7th & 8th Grade) boys Select teams in the spring. Our Select teams offer 7 additional weekly games + playoffs for those interested in participating at a high-level against very competitive teams. Interested players will be evaluated in mid-March prior to the season.

Only players demonstrating the highest levels of skill, athleticism, attitude, and commitment will qualify for these rosters. Select games are in addition to our normal Sunday gameday schedule and are scheduled by the league on either Friday or Saturday evenings. Select players are REQUIRED by MYL to play both "classic" town AND Select games.

A separate Select team registration IS NOT required. Simply inform your coach of your interest and you will be included in pre-season tryouts!

Rostered Select team players will be responsible for their equal share of MYL Select team league expenses (i.e., $1,295 per 2025 MYL Select team) for refs, scheduling, team equipment, etc... Select fees due after second game - Financial aid available. We divide Select expenses up this way to keep costs as low as possible for our families. Other towns charge a separate upfront "Select team" fee of between $150-250.

We will field FGLL select teams IF there is enough demand.

NOTE: Playing Select lacrosse requires a deeper commitment to team, coaches, and teammates. We expect our Select players to make all practices and games and complete simple weekly lacrosse "homework" assignments. All planned absences (e.g., school conflicts, vacations) need to be communicated responsibly with coaches well in advance. Failure to do so will impact playing time and roster placement.
