Welcome to Dedham Youth Lacrosse Boy's Program!

Our Boy's Program plays in the Massachusetts Youth Lacrosse League (MYL). Town teams are grouped into school year pairings: 1&2 grade, 3&4 grade, 5&6 grade, and 7&8 grade teams. The 7&8 grade town team pairs with Norwood to create "Dedwood Lacrosse". There are no tryouts to join DYL town teams. Town teams practice 2x each week (traditionally on Monday & Wednesday nights) and have one game per week (traditionally on Sundays).

The boys program also runs a Select Team in 5&6 grade, and 7&8 grade. These two Select Teams each pair with Norwood to create "Dedwood Select Lacrosse". Select Teams are determined through tryouts and have one additional practice and one additional game each week. Players must play for their town team to be eligible for Select Lacrosse.

We welcome all new players who wish to learn this amazing sport and encourage you to join us!
