WYLA is a member of the Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse League and subscribes to their philosophy:
We promote youth lacrosse in an environment that emphasizes fun, while developing skills, teamwork, good sportsmanship, and integrity. “There are no standings kept, no league championship or playoffs. We play all players as equally as possible with the goal of teaching the sport and providing a fun experience for all involved. We police ourselves in the effort to provide an outlet for kids that has not been swept up in the pressure filled, win-at-all-cost mania that is too present in today's youth sports.”
