Welcome to the home of Pittsburgh Youth Lacrosse (PYLAX)
PYLAX is a Non-Profit organization governed by parent volunteers, and coached by a hybrid team of former and current player head coaches and assistant parent coach volunteers. Our program is open to all boys and girls in the Pittsburgh area and is consistently one of the premier youth lacrosse programs in Pittsburgh.
We offer competitive and developmental Spring programs for both Boys (from ages 5 to 15) and Girls (from ages 8 to 15). Most Spring practices and home games take place in or around the Fox Chapel, PA area and our season concludes in June with a road trip to compete in a tournament in Baltimore, the cradle of Lacrosse.
