What does your registration pay for?
When you register your player, you'll pay a fee based on the GBYLA base fee and the Community Program Fee. These fees provide referees, field space, coaching training & equipment, league operations, and tournament expenses. It does not include player equipment or uniforms. HYLO is working hard to remove the cost barrier for new players. If you're interested in becoming a sponsor, click here. We also have a lacrosse equipment buy, sell, & trade group on Facebook.
