Playing Time
2019 Playing Time Guidelines
The Mars Youth Lacrosse Association Board believes strongly in providing players of all ages and
skill levels the opportunity to experience and learn the great game of lacrosse, while being offered
the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the success of his team. As our program has grown in
both the number of participations as well as the age groups covered, the Board has recognized the
need to address our philosophy with respect to playing time in the form of these Guidelines. The
following are some of the factors strongly considered in developing these Guidelines:
•The structure of our 2019 program: all equally divided “B-level” teams for 8U (K-2nd grades), 10U
(3rd/4th grades), and 12U (5th/6th grades), and both Competitive and Developmental Teams
anticipated for the 14U (7th/8th grade) level.
•The natural progression of player/team development: focus is initially on individual skills but must
move towards team strategy as player’s progress.
•Life lessons to be learned: there are plenty of great lessons to teach to all the players from 8U to
14U, and significant playing time attracts more kids to teach. However, once a player reaches the
14U level, it's appropriate to begin teaching some of the tougher life lessons such as: (i) those who
work the hardest and perform the best will often get more opportunities, and (ii) the success of the
whole (team) most often has to be put ahead of the individual.
•This Guideline has been developed with the best interest of the entire program in mind, rather than
one player or one category of players.
•The current “maturity level” of our program.
•These Guidelines should be simple, flexible and realistic.© 2011 Mars Youth Lacrosse Association Coaching Basics Playing Time
