Hello again Lacrosse Families!

As most you might have heard, there is a new requirement for chest/shoulder protectors for all goalies and boy/men players. The new chest protectors are required to be NOCSAE ND200 Certified. Because of this new rule, we have worked out a deal with Lax.com to offer a 15% discount on chest protectors. 

This deal is available to anyone we know who plays lacrosse! This includes Norwich Youth Lacrosse and all the surrounding high schools that we support including Norwich Free Academy, Norwich and Windham Tech, Griswold and Ledyard, etc. 

Even if you are no longer playing with NYLA, please pass this information on to someone who might be able to take advantage of it.

• ND200 Chest Protectors Required!

• Effective January 1, 2021, boys' and girls' goalie chest protectors must be designed for lacrosse and meet the NOCSAE standard, ND200.

• Effective January 1, 2022, shoulder pads for boys’ field players must also be designed for lacrosse and meet NOCSAE standard ND200.

• All products must contain the NOCSAE logo (as seen below) and SEI certification mark on both the packaging for the product to be legal for play.

A significant number of our current board members will be resigning after this season as their players move on to High School.

Volunteers are key to the ongoing success of NYLA and we need your help!

This is the perfect time to start getting involved as we begin planning for the new season.

Our League Board currently meets virtually on the second Tuesday of every month.
