Uniforms
Jerseys can either be purchased or borrowed, either way requires a check to be
completed to LUYAA LAX prior to receiving the jersey:
Purchase option:
Pay for the jersey
This cost will also include a screen printed name on the back of the jersey
This jersey should be good for a number of subsequent seasons/ years
Borrow option:
Provide a deposit check made out to LUYAA before obtaining the jersey
Players cannot add a name to the jersey or damage the jersey in anyway as this
will be lent to families in subsequent seasons.
After the tournament(s)/end of season for the player, the jersey can be returned
to LUYAA LAX and the check will be returned to the family (therefore no costs to
the family).
If this jersey is not returned within one month of the last game, the check will
be deposited and the jersey will be kept by the family/ player.
If during the season the player changes their mind and wants to keep the jersey,
the family can simply contact the area coordinator for formal notification and
deposit of check.
Shorts:
Shorts will be made available for purchase only! No borrowing.
U13/Midget and U15/Junior ‘A’ team players typically are required to have these
shorts for a full uniform; all other players (Bantams, PeeWees, Midgets B and
Junior B) have the option to purchase shorts.
There will be a very limited availability and sizes. This will be available
first come first serve only, as we cannot hold an extra inventory of shorts.

It is anticipated that these jerseys and shorts will be available by the end of
Feb; more information to come.

This is fun, low stress and educationally focused season. There is no body
checking. The games are played on modified fields (typically smaller; depending
on the needs/preferences of the two teams playing). Coaches are out on the field
coaching during the games. It is a great way to get into the sport and learn a
great deal while having a lot of fun!
** With numbers
permitting, we will try to field an A and B team; A players will typically be
experienced players that will play competitive games, while B players will have
a more recreationally focused season. The division that we are in is keen on
developing true B teams and would like to have the B teams play on the same
day/location as the A teams.
League:
LUYAA boys play in the SMYLA (Southern Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association)
