About Park City Youth Lacrosse

The Park City Youth Lacrosse Organization (PCYLO) runs programs for boys and girls K-8th grade. Our primary purpose is to teach and promote the game of lacrosse in a fun, safe and sportsmanlike environment.  As a youth sports organization, PCYLO is dedicated to the skill development of lacrosse players of all abilities. Along with teaching lacrosse, PCYLO strives to instill the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, fair play and a love of the sport of lacrosse, along with respect for teammates, coaches, officials, and opponents; in essence, we "Honor the Game."

PCYLO believes that sportsmanship is a way of life and will conduct all activities in a manner that will set an example of good sportsmanship and friendly competition for our young players and the community. 

 We use the acronym "ROOTS" to help remind our players, parents, and coaches to respect the game.  

• Rules: We refuse to bend the rules to win
• Opponents: A worthy opponent is a gift that brings out our best
• Officials: Show respect even when we disagree
• Teammates: Never do anything to embarrass our team
• Self: We live up to our own standards even when others don’t
