YAC Lacrosse has the following divisions available:

Mighty Mites K-1st grade
Pee Wee - 2nd and 3^rd grade clinic for those just starting out
Bantam – 3^rd and 4^th grade
Junior – 5^th and 6^th grade
Senior – 7^th and 8^th grade

Mighty Mites (K-1st grade) The Mighty Mite division is operated in a clinic environment and is designed for Kindergarten and 1st graders.  Basic skills like throwing and catching will be taught, along with basic fundamentals of the game.  The clinic will be held at the Sports Barn each Sunday from 10:45AM - 12:15PM.  During the season it is possible that the K/1st graders may play a modified scrimmage or two against neighboring towns.  Contact is limited at this age group, though at any age lacrosse remains a contact sport.

Pee Wee (2^nd and 3^rd grade) – The Pee Wee division is operated in a clinic environment and is designed for 2^nd graders and 3^rd graders that have not played before.  Basic skills like throwing and catching will be taught, along with basic fundamentals of the game.  The clinic will be held at the Sports Barn each Sunday from 9:00 AM-10:30 AM.  During the season it is possible that the 2^nd/3^rd graders may play a modified scrimmage or two against neighboring towns.  Contact is limited at this age group though at any age lacrosse remains a contact sport.
 
Bantam (3^rd and 4^th Grade) – In this division, based on registration we are planning to field two teams of equal talent.  We will create two equally talented teams.  These teams will play each other and other towns in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties and Connecticut .  The target is for each team to play 10-12 games.  Fundamentals of the game are stressed, as is full participation for each player.  Each player should get an opportunity to play each position on the field.  Games scores are kept, but the winning of the contest is secondary to the development of each player.
 
 Junior (5^th and 6^th grade) and Senior (7^th and 8^th grade)– Each division consists of teams of equal talent.  These teams will play each other and other towns in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties and Connecticut .  The target is for each team to play 10-12 games. In addition to the equally balanced in-house teams, there will be a Husker team for each division for which an evaluation process will be conducted to select the team. (Time and location for the tryout to be announced)
