Q: What is IYL policy on playing other sports during Lacrosse season?
IYL is a strong proponent of multi-sport athletes. Most sports seasons overlap slightly and in all circumstances it requires maturity and planning to manage multiple commitments. Participating in winter sports whose seasons end when Lacrosse is starting can be managed between the player and his coaches.
From March 15th to May 31st, IYL discourages participation in other spring-season sports with the exception of Middle School Track.
Playing two sports during the same season is doubling player commitments and it becomes much more complicated for the athlete and the parents. It can be done, but you will be forced to make choices that can impact your playing time in Lacrosse
