Barnstable Girls Youth Lacrosse - Registration is Open
Registration for the 2023 season is OPEN!
Our philosophy in the MYL Classic program is all players participate equally (i.e. equal playing time) in all games on evenly balanced teams based on a player’s grade, age, skill, size, and experience playing a local game schedule in their region. There are no "A" and "B" or "stacked" teams, nor standings and playoffs at any level of the MYL Classic program (our traditional league games on Sundays).
