Mad River Valley Youth Lacrosse

Founded in 2008, Mad River Valley Youth Lacrosse is a community-based, volunteer, non-profit recreational organization. Mad River Valley Youth Lacrosse is a developmental organization and is committed to providing a positive, team-oriented athletic experience. We are affiliated with the Northern Vermont Youth Lacrosse League, nvtyll.org and the Northern Vermont Girls Youth Lacrosse League, nvgyll.weebly.com. Coaches complete required certification through US Lacrosse, and player insurance is provided through US Lacrosse.

Mad River Valley Youth Lacrosse offers a fun opportunity for boys and girls from kindergarten to eighth grade to play lacrosse. First timers are welcome at any level! The teams are divided up by boys and girls in grades 3-4,5-6, and 7-8. We offer a Sunday morning program called "Chill Lax" for boys and girls in grades K, 1 and 2.
