Look for updates to SportsEngine for your practice dates and times.  For the first couple weeks, it is fluid and there may be changes. 

To help with finding our new fields, please check out the map below.  Saber Fields are located at 13190 Townline Avenue, Shakopee, MN .  There is permanent field signage.  Fields 1-5 are full fields for ages 12U-14U.  Fields 6 & 7 are broken into 4 small fields (ages 6U-10U).  

***Tall flags will identify each field once weekly games start.***

If you want to revisit the presentation from 4/21, please review the below document.  If you have any questions, please reach out to a board member. 

January 2022 is coming up quickly and so is the new equipment standard for new shoulder pads for all boy players.  Just like the new required goalie chest protectors, all boy players must have shoulder pads with chest protection meeting the new safety standard.

• Effective January 1, 2022, shoulder pads for boys’ field players must be designed for lacrosse and meet NOCSAE standard ND200. Products are now available.
• Effective January 1, 2021, boys' and girls' goalie chest protectors must be designed for lacrosse and meet the NOCSAE standard, ND200.
• All chest protectors and shoulder pads must contain the NOCSAE logo and SEI certification mark on both the packaging and the product to be legal for play.

As we are planning for 2022 and beyond, the SYLA board challenged themselves to answer the following:

“What legacy are we leaving for future generations of SYLA athletes?”

With that question in hand, we began conversations with the Premier Lacrosse League. We submitted our application, took additional trainings, and we were selected to be part of their PLL Verified Program!

The benefits that come from this partnership positively impact our association and we couldn’t be more excited to grow our sport. A quick example of what this brings to our association: direct access to professional male and female lacrosse players that will host clinics and training for our youth!  More details will come, but we wanted to share this amazing news!
