The Southern Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association was started over 20 years ago by three founding charter organizations: Bowie Lacrosse Club, Calvert Lacrosse Club and Prince Georges Lacrosse Club.   Our organization has grown dramatically over the years and we now provide an outstanding lacrosse experience for over 1800 young men between the ages of 7 and 15 years old.  We currently have two Conferences, the North and the South; and two divisions within each Conference.   A SMYLA championship tournament is held at the end of the season.  Each team is seeded in the tournament according to their overall season record.  The tournament is held at the beautiful Bowie Lacrosse Complex (also known as Mitchellville Fields) and attracts thousands of lacrosse enthusiasts throughout the weekend.  A 'B' Level tournament and Bantam (U7) round-robin tournament is held on the Sunday of the tournament weekend.

Our league is headed by U.S. Lacrosse Hall-of-Fame inductee Lenny Casalino. 

Our league is always looking to expand.  If your club is interested in joining SMYLA or you have any questions regarding the Southern Maryland Youth Lacrosse Association please feel free to contact us at president@smyla.org.
