Our Mission
Burlington Youth Lacrosse is a nonprofit dedicated to making lacrosse accessible to every kid who wants to play. We offer Spring teams, clinics, other opportunities for players of all ages and experience levels.
We are committed to a “first year free” philosophy, where every new player plays their first season completely free. That means free registration and free use of all equipment for the season.
Sign Up for the Spring Season
Burlington Youth Lacrosse has introduced the game of lacrosse to hundreds of local kids and families over the last decade. As the game has grown in popularity in our region, volunteer coaches have stepped forward and ensured that the nonprofit will continue to thrive.

Schedule & Location
Weather permitting, the season begins with practices in late March. Practices are held two times per week, either on Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday, determined by the coach.
Games begin around May 1 and are played every weekend through June. Historically, boys games have been played on Saturday and girls games played on Sunday. All games are “jamborees,” with each team playing multiple games over the span of a few hours. When available, the game and practice schedules will be provided by each coach.
Our home field is Leddy Park located at 216 Leddy Park Rd. Burlington, VT 05408. Please park only in marked spaces.
