Boys Spring Lacrosse 2026

Program Overview

The Saratoga Youth Lacrosse Association (SYLA) offers a fun, well-organized spring lacrosse experience for boys of all skill levels, from first-time players to more experienced athletes. Our program emphasizes skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and a love for the game, while providing age-appropriate instruction and competition.

Recreational Program (All Grade Levels)

Kindergarten: $125
The Kindergarten program meets one day per week on Thursdays and is designed as an introductory lacrosse experience focused on fundamentals, coordination, and fun. No pads are required at this level. Registration includes a SYLA shooter shirt.

Grades 1–2: $190
Players in Grades 1–2 practice twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays and play weekend games on Saturday or Sunday, typically in the morning or early afternoon. This level introduces structured game play while continuing to build core skills. Registration includes a SYLA shooter shirt.

Grades 3–4: $230
Players in Grades 3–4 practice twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays and participate in weekend CDYLL games on Saturday or Sunday. The focus at this level is on skill development, team concepts, and competitive game experience. Registration includes a SYLA shooter shirt.

Grades 5–6: $230
Players in Grades 5–6 follow the same schedule as Grades 3–4, practicing twice per week on Mondays and Thursdays with weekend CDYLL games. Emphasis is placed on advanced fundamentals, teamwork, and preparing players for the next level of play. Registration includes a SYLA shooter shirt.

For players in Grades 1–6, pinnies and shorts are purchased separately during registration. SYLA will be using the same pinnie and shorts as last spring, so families only need to purchase a pinnie if a player is new to the program or needs a new size.

A $15 early-registration discount will be automatically applied at checkout for registrations completed before February 14.

Optional Tournament Team (Grades 3–4 and 5–6)

Tournament Team Add-On: $100 (plus tournament entry fees)
For players seeking additional development and a higher level of competition, SYLA offers an optional Tournament Team for boys in Grades 3–4 and 5–6.

Players must be registered for and participate in the regular SYLA recreational program, which includes Monday and Thursday practices and weekend games. The Tournament Team program is recommended for players with at least one to two seasons of prior lacrosse experience.

Tournament team participants will attend one additional practice per week on Tuesdays at the SYLA fields. These practices will focus on higher-level skills training, faster-paced play, and advanced concepts, with occasional guest coaches. Players will also participate in two to three additional games or tournaments during the spring and early summer, primarily within the Capital Region, with one possible event outside the region. The tournament season will conclude before summer club programs begin, around June 8.

In addition to the $100 tournament team fee, families should expect tournament entry fees of approximately $30–$40 per event. Families will be asked to indicate their interest as part of the spring registration process. A full schedule and tournament registration link will be shared once finalized.
