Welcome to the Derry Youth Lacrosse Association
The following information should assist you in your decision process to enroll your young athletes in the fastest game in town!
Lacrosse, started by the American Indians, is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Athletes from as far away as Europe and Australia now participate in the sport.
If your child has never played lacrosse before, we encourage you to get them involved in our winter indoor program. Our indoor program runs on Sunday's starting the first week of December. We will post the times for all levels on this web site, but usually the first group starts at 4:00 and the last group starts at 8:00.
We use grades and age to place your child on the appropriate team.
Grades 3 & 4 – U11, Grades 5 & 6 - U13, and grades 7 & 8 – U15.
Eligible players must be between the ages of 7 and 15 as of 12/31 prior to the start of the spring season.
The season will start in March and end in June.
We are part of the New Hampshire Youth Lacrosse Association. League scheduled games are on Sundays and occasionally on Saturdays.
Most coaches will try to arrange scrimmages for Saturdays.
Practice is held 2 – 3 times a week at the coach’s discretion.
U13 and U15 Divisions will participate in tryouts if two teams are eligible for participation.
All players must be members of US Lacrosse (cost is not included in registration fee).
All players will be required to participate in our fundraiser.
All players will be provided a DYLA Game Jersey for use during the season.
First year boy’s lacrosse players will have the use of DYLA lacrosse equipment; this will require a refundable security deposit. They must supply their own stick.
Jersey’s will be distributed by coaches prior to the first scheduled game; this will also require a refundable security deposit.
All players are required to purchase DYLA shorts to be worn during games.
