Best Practices & Resources
The goal for each program, chapter or league should be to become an organization where diversity and inclusion are a fundamental part of the values and culture of the program. Bringing together varied life experiences and perspectives adds significant value to your community and reinforces the concept of inclusivity.
US Lacrosse offers best practices and resources for working toward this goal, here.

Registering Players
Please remember to review the MAYLA policies as you start registering players. (You'll find the policies in your Program Manual Guidelines; the 2020 version will be available shortly after the new year and will have minor updates). No member clubs should be registering any players from outside their respective school district boundaries.
If you have parents who want to register with your club and they do not live within your respective school district boundaries then you should refer those parents to contact, Robin Buckley (league commissioner) to get direction as to which member club they should be joining.
Open enrollment players must register in the club associated with the school district where they go to school.
If a parent lives in a school district that does not have a MAYLA member club, that parent should contact Robin Buckley.
If a parent lives in a school district that does not have a MAYLA club but that school district has a club from a different association, then they should be registering with the club associated with their school district.
MAYLA member clubs should NOT be recruiting players from outside the clubs school district boundaries
If a family attends a parochial/private school, then that family would register with the MAYLA member club that corresponds to the school district boundaries within in which their primary residence is located.

US Lacrosse seeks to lead efforts to make lacrosse a more inclusive, accessible and tolerant sport - where anyone can play and everyone feels welcome and respected. US Lacrosse has created an online training tool focused on cultural competency. This resource is designed to assist lacrosse organizations in further educating coaches, parents, and athletes about the impact of diversity and inclusion.

The national background screening is now part of all adult coach membership purchases and renewals. US Lacrosse is absorbing the cost of the background check, with no change to the direct cost of membership for coaches.
