USA Lacrosse Age Guidelines

We follow USA Lacrosse age guidelines to ensure fair and consistent play for all athletes. These standards help create balanced teams and provide the best environment for skill development and competition. We understand, however, that every athlete is unique. If you believe your player would be better suited in a different age group, you may submit a waiver request using the link below. All requests will be carefully reviewed by our Board of Directors.

Per YLM and MSLax policies, players that have started 9th grade are not eligible to participate on association related events regardless of their birthdate.
