SELECT LEAGUE OVERVIEW

MYL Select Lacrosse Program 

MYL Select Lacrosse Program offers MYL member towns an additional playing opportunity for their more experienced and committed 7/8 grade and 5/6 grade players. Select can enhance their love for the game and improve their lacrosse skills through competitive games with like-minded, talented players from surrounding towns.

The MYL Select Lacrosse Program is a natural extension and is fully integrated with the traditional MYL Town Program and is guided by the same mission and goals of the MYL as a whole.  The MYL Select Lacrosse Program practice & game schedule does not conflict with the MYL Town Program weekly practice & Sunday game schedule and is open to ALL interested towns.  Players choosing to play on an MYL Select Lacrosse team MUST also play on their town’s traditional MYL Town team as well.

MYL Select Lacrosse Program was established for the following reasons:

• Improve the overall program and positive experience for all involved in the MYL.
• Enable more experienced middle school youth players to play together on a unified town team.
• Simplify parent/player travel & carpool logistics w/ local practices/games.
• Improve the competitive level of lacrosse, competition & capabilities in all players, teams & towns.
• Stay in sync with, and complementary to, the mission & goals of the traditional MYL Town program.
• A natural extension and logical progression of a growing MYL.

Select Team Player Commitment

Players and parents should understand that participating on a Select lacrosse team is for those players who are making a more serious commitment to lacrosse. 

As a member of the Select team, players are expected to participate in all practices and games. Any planned absences or vacations (such as April school vacation) must be communicated to the head coach prior to team selection and may impact the final roster decisions. 

Select teams do not carry large rosters, so missing one or more practices can materially impact the practice plans and the improvement of the team and the individual.  Select teams make every effort to involve all players in games, but playing time is based on ability, effort, commitment and production on the field. 

We would love to have your player on our Select team but please keep the above in mind when making a commitment for a Select team season.
