MAA adheres to county rules and focuses on promoting fair play, good sportsmanship, fundamental skill, and play development.

As mandated by the county, all players will have the opportunity to enjoy at least 25% play time per game. Between the weekly practices and the games, players will have plenty of opportunity to learn more about this fast-moving sport.

All players must complete a player contract and if necessary a player release.  The player release is only needed if you played lacrosse for an organization other than Mayo last season.  Please download and print a player contract and bring it with you to the first practice. 

 All coaches and assistant coaches must have updated background checks and coaches’ certifications every three years. Contact the MAA commissioner for details.

For further information, click on the "teams" or "divisions" buttons on the sidebar at left.
