BYC has been serving the youth of Chester Heights Borough, Bethel Township, Concord Township, Chadds Ford and Thornbury Townships in Western Delaware County since 1955.
But boys' lacrosse is a recent addition, having been added in 2001. From a few dozen boys, the program has grown to over 300 players in programs from U-7 (5-6 year olds) to U-15 (13-14 year olds), with U-11, U-13 and U-15 participating in Chester County Lacrosse Association (CCLA) Travel Teams.
With dedicated coaches and hard-working, talented athletes that share a love for the fastest game on two feet, the BYC Lacrosse program has had many successes since its inception. BYC teams have made playoffs and won championships. BYC players have gone on to successful lacrosse careers at the high school, college, NCAA Division I, II, and III, and recreational club level.
But first and foremost our players, coaches and families have had FUN learning and enjoying lacrosse and the sportsmanship, camraderie and hard work that surround the sport.

- Under 7 – Clinic-based intramural program introducing the FUNdamentals of Lacrosse to our youngest players.
