2) The 2025 MYLA Info Guide - This guide is meant to be a resource for your program during the upcoming season. Inside, you will find information about rules, game and safety procedures, important contacts, and a host of other information designed to answer administrator, coach, and parent questions quickly and easily. Please share this resource! It is our hope that by standardizing the way we play the game in Michigan, we will create a stronger base from which Michigan youth lacrosse can grow.

3) Leagues/Conferences - One of the goals of MYLA is to organize youth programs into leagues and conferences. Participating in a regional league streamlines scheduling, adds structure, builds continuity, and builds community. If you need assistance finding/starting a league in your area, we can help. 

4) Program Resources - USA Lacrosse provides a number of resources for organizational best practices, safety procedures, parent education, and risk management, to name a few. Program leaders are encouraged to review these materials and implement best practices into their programs. 

5) "1 More" Officials Recruiting Initiative- Without officials, there are no games! From former players looking to earn some extra income (up to $100/hr!) and give back to the game, to the parents and sports fans that recognize the importance and value of good officials, there are a ton of opportunities to get involved. New officials are invited to fill out THIS FORM in order to be connected with the officials' organization in your area.
