Youth lacrosse in Maine has just gone through a very big change. 15 towns/programs have joined with Massachusetts Youth Lacrosse. We do not have much information at this time as how this will affect youth lacrosse across the state of Maine.

The general mission of MYL is to facilitate the growth of youth lacrosse in Maine and to encourage the growth of high school lacrosse through club teams and teams officially affiliated with local high schools.
The structure of MYL may include the development of regional governing organizations. MYL will rely primarily on volunteers, serving on the board of directors and in other key positions, to set policies, provide leadership and carry out the objectives of the league. It will provide administrative staff to assist in this effort. All member organizations, through their representatives, must actively participate in meetings of the boys and girls divisions.
MYL will provide a positive, welcoming experience for all young players, while providing competitive divisions and opportunities commensurate with years of experience and age. It will encourage participation in tournaments sponsored by U.S. Lacrosse and events at other regional and national venues.
In admitting and scheduling games for new clubs, MYL will take into consideration concerns over lengthy travel.
MYL will be fiscally responsible and will seek to augment dues through private donations, fund-raising and corporate sponsorships.
MYL will provide equal opportunities for boys and girls, with resources allocated as needed.
MYL will require every club to adopt, and encourage every family to embrace, the philosophy and practices of the Positive Coaching Alliance. To promote sportsmanship among players, parents and coaches, the organization will offer education and training, provide oversight and impose disciplinary actions when deemed appropriate.
