The NSYLA was formed to exclusively provide youth in Northborough, Southborough, and surrounding communities with instruction, training, and development to improve their lacrosse capabilities through participation. The mission of the NSYLA Lacrosse program is conducted in an atmosphere of sportsmanship and fair play, free of any adult ambition or personal glory. This educational objective stresses the principles of team play, self-discipline, respect, good sportsmanship, and scholarship through a developmental process of instruction, practice, and the learning of the fundamentals of the game, while ensuring the safety and well-being of the children who participate.
