Welcome to Evanston Youth Lacrosse (EYLA) 2020 Spring Season!

This Spring Season EYLA will offer both Orange & Blue teams (for which tryouts are required) and a separate Recreational program option for grades K-4.

RECREATIONAL PROGRAM - K thru 4th
Recreational players will practice only once per week, separate from the Orange & Blue teams, which will allow those players to focus more on developing skills and learning the sport of lacrosse. The Recreational players will not participate in IBLA league games or tournaments.   Tryouts are not required to participate in the Recreational program.

ORANGE & BLUE TEAMS
This spring, EYLA’s Boys program will offer both Orange & Blue teams for Grades 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8 (tryouts are required for all levels except Grades 1/2). Our Boys Orange & Blue teams, similar to last year, will be participating in the Illinois Boys Lacrosse Association (IBLA) league and our EYLA programs will be consistent with the IBLA league format that is based on grades, not age.  

- Grades 7&8 (Majors)
- Grades 5&6 (Minors)
- Grades 3&4 (Juniors)
- Grades 1&2 (Minis)
- K (included with the Grades 1&2 Recreational Team)
