About MULA
Our mission is to promote the sport and sportsmanship of lacrosse to the residents of Mendon - Upton, Massachusetts. To provide a fun, positive and enriching experience for all of the youth, parents, coaches and volunteers involved in the program. Join us as we enter our fifth season this Spring of 2008. MULA fields both boys and girls lacrosse teams. 
 
Boys and girls from 3rd grade through 8th grade participate in inter-town play as part of the Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse League - MBYLL, the governing body for youth lacrosse in eastern Massachusetts.  We share and promote the MBYLL youth league philosophy; there are no standings kept, no league championship or playoffs. We play all players as equally as possible with the goal of teaching the sport and providing a fun experience for all involved. We police ourselves in the effort to provide an outlet for kids that has not been swept up in the pressure filled, win-at-all-cost mania that is too present in today's youth sports.  All MULA participants, coaches, parents and spectators are expected to adhear to and abide by the US Lacrosse Code of Conduct. 
 
Teams are divided into U11, U13 & U15 age brackets.  Additionally a U9 boys development team is available for 1st and 2nd graders to introduce the game and teach the basics.  U9's play on a a 3/4 field, no body checking and and coaches are always on-field during games. 
 
Traditionally played in the spring, lacrosse is one of the fastest growing team sports in the United States. This is an exhilarating, fast, action packed game, combining the best elements of basketball, soccer and hockey. The game rewards speed, quickness, agility and team work. Recognized as ‘the fastest game on two feet’, lacrosse is played with a stick and a ball; crisp passing, long sprints, quick dodging and checking are part of both the men’s and women’s game.
