The Unofficial 3/4 Girls and Boys Select Development Team is designed for players in grades 3 and 4 who demonstrate advanced skill development, strong engagement, and readiness for a more challenging lacrosse environment as part of the MYL development pathway.

This team is not an official Mass Youth Lacrosse (MYL) Select team and does not participate in MYL Select League play. Instead, it serves as a developmental step between the Classic Program and official MYL Select teams, with a focus on preparing athletes for the expectations and competitive demands of Select lacrosse at the 5/6 level and beyond.

In alignment with MYL development principles, the program emphasizes:

• Age-appropriate, skill-based instruction

• Long-term athlete development over short-term results

• Progressive introduction to advanced individual and team concepts

• Sportsmanship, respect, and love for the game

Competition opportunities may include scrimmages, jamborees, or non-league games and are intended to support player growth rather than competitive outcomes.

Participation in the Unofficial 3/4 Select Development Team requires a higher level of commitment than the Classic Program. Selection is based on evaluation, readiness, and roster availability. Playing time is not guaranteed and may vary based on attendance, effort, coachability, and overall development.

This program is designed to support player progression within the MYL framework while maintaining CYL’s commitment to positive, development-focused youth lacrosse.
