Our club plays in the Eastern Shore Youth Lacrosse Association (ESYLA).
We will compete against familiar clubs like Smyrna and Milford while expanding competition to include clubs from Kent (MD), Camden (DE), and Queen Anne’s (MD) among others.
There may be some travel with the potential for one or two away games taking us to locations outside of Salisbury or Berlin, MD.
REGISTRATION
ESYLA will follow the US Lacrosse age grouping for Youth Lacrosse. Age segmentation is based on the player's age on September 1, 2022 and not their grade. If you are not sure which team to register your player, there is a chart from US Lacrosse posted in Club News. To use it find the row corresponding to the month of your players birthday and move across to the column of the corresponding year.
There is more information about the US Lacrosse age segmentation breakdown here https://www.usalacrosse.com/sites/default/files/documents/Games/AgeGroupChart-Aug2022.pdf
To register your player, go to the registration portal based on your player's age.
You will not be able to register your player for a team that is outside their age group.
***
All players must have a current US Lacrosse membership in order to register with MYLC.
See instructions below for obtaining or renewing your player's membership.
The ESYLA clubs rely on US Lacrosse membership for insurance coverage. Every player and coach on the field, as well as the board members, must have an active US Lacrosse membership for the duration of the season in order for us to have this coverage.
The registration process will take you to the US Lacrosse website if your player's membership needs to be initiated or renewed. You will then be returned here to complete the registration process. US Lacrosse membership cost is $30. It is good for 12 months and includes a six month subscription to Lacrosse Magazine.
We have found that it is best to access the US Lacrosse membership portal from a desktop or laptop computer and not from a mobile device. If you use a phone or tablet to access USL you may encounter an error or it may freeze up.
If you are on a laptop or desktop and encounter any errors registering with US Lacrosse, contact the US Lacrosse Customer Support Center at 410 235-6882 #102.
