Parents are as taken with lacrosse as their young athletes. “Lacrosse has become
one of my favorite sports to watch my boys play!” said Melissa Scheetz, whose
son, Landon, played on the U11 team, while son, Owen, was a U7 Scooper.
Lacrosse is a growing sport throughout the country and continues to gain
popularity among youth and adults alike. CYA-LAX is actively growing the
sport with area youth, adding age-level teams each year. Their U7 Scoopers
program, introducing children as young as five to the sport, has gone from two
to three teams in one year. Next year, they are looking to add more girls’ teams
at the U9 and above levels.
“Lacrosse is growing very fast. It is looking good,” Doll said. “The younger
teams bring a lot of new kids into the sport. Having success in the older boys is
inspiring the younger kids to try something new.”
US Lacrosse is the national governing body for the sport. WMYLC and CYA-
LAX follow US Lacrosse rules and regulations for boys and girls lacrosse, and
take all efforts to ensure a safe and fun environment.
Lacrosse season runs from March to June. Registration for the 2017
season will begin in November. Check out the CYA-LAX website at www.

various camps and pick-up games.
