Boys Division

Spring is the main season for lacrosse.  It is in this season that we offer our most robust programs comprised of both practices and several games for the younger grades (K-2) and travel teams for the older grades (3/4, 5/6, 7/8).  The programs typically run for 8 weeks beginning in mid April (outside if fields are available, or at the Sports Underdome if weather does not permit us to go outside) and ending in early June.  

For K-2, we offer weekly practices and several games, and host a "Playday in the 'Dale" tournament with other K-2 teams from the area.  The K-2 program is considered foundational and begins to prepare the players for the future by working on skills and drills, but also beginning to learn the rules of the game and how to play in a game setting.  

At the 3/4 and 5/6 grade levels, we offer a 4 day a week travel team-based program comprising of practices, games against other local lacrosse teams, and typically attend 2-3 tournaments.

At the 7/8 grade level, because Scarsdale Middle School offers a 5-day-a-week Modified Lacrosse school program, we supplement that program by offering a weekend game throughout the season (typically Sunday afternoons).  The 7/8 team also typically attends 2 tournaments, including the local Battle on the Edge in Edgemont, NY.

The intent of the Fall lacrosse programs is to offer an alternative in the Fall season for those boys who may not play traditional fall sports and or would like to continue playing lacrosse during the off-season in a fun and competitive environment.  These programs are offered for all levels of players from beginner to advanced.  The season is comprised of approximately 8 weekly clinics, with a few games and/or tournaments.  For the older grades (5/6 & 7/8), we also hold our mandatory evaluations during the Fall (October) in order to stratify our Spring teams.  SYLA has a no-cut policy.  While our teams at these grade levels are stratified by skill level, every player who would like to play lacrosse will make a team.  We take beginners into our programs at every grade level.
