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.
Price to be provided shortly.

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

League rules:                                                                                                                                 
A full set of the rules will be available on our season website. 

Age groupings:
Juniors (U15) A&B: born in 1994 or 1995
With numbers permitting this will allow for an A (highly competitive)& B (recreational and competitive) team **

Midgets (U13) A&B: born in 1996 or 1997
With numbers permitting this will allow for an A (highly competitive)& B (recreational and competitive) team **

PeeWees (U11) A&B: born in 1998 or 1999
With numbers permitting this will allow for an A (highly competitive)& B (recreational and competitive) team **

Bantams (U9) A&B: born in 2000 or later
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) league. It provides us with a quality level of lacrosse and fun competition/ competitors.

SMYLA has two divisions.
North Division - 2 conferences
        Conference 1: Urbana, Linganore, Damascus, Olney
        Conference 2: Rockville, MVSA, Burtonsville, Bowie

South Division - 2 conferences
        Conference 1: Calvert, Dunkirk, Prince Frederick, PG
        Conference 1: Mechanicsville, S. Calvert, St Mary’s 1 & St Mary’s 2.

What does that means to us? We play each team in our conference twice and each team in our division/sister conference once. Go to our season website for schedules and additional information.

Directions:
