Welcome to House League

An update on the 2026 season plans

March 9, 2026 Welcome to House League Dear GYL House League Families, We are so excited about hitting the fields for the 2026 House League season later this week! We loved seeing all the kids at Jersey Day and their excitement for the great year ahead. Growth continues at GYL, with over 850 participants and more than 180 volunteer coaches in House League alone. These dedicated coaches, along with local high school players and many special guests, will be on the fields this spring working with your children. We are thrilled to welcome back our amazing master coaches: Girls K-4: Shawn Cavanaugh Boys K-2: Keith Radcliffe Boys 3-4: Eugene Miller House League is the building block of our program, and we are proud of our history and long-standing commitment to youth sports in our community. We are consistently one of the largest programs in the country and the largest in Connecticut. Each season, we strive to create a fun and safe environment focused on skill development. We are thrilled you are part of the family! See below for more information about GYL, and look out for more updates soon. Field Assignments The field situation at Greenwich High School is challenging given our registration numbers. By Wednesday each week we will publish field assignments for each group for Friday Night Clinic and Sunday House League. We don't anticipate a lot of changes, but we have learned, change is inevitable. Outside of the weather, we could have rescheduled lacrosse, rugby, and softball games that may affect our program. See link below for our Week #1 schedule. House League Logistics What team is my child on? If you haven't received one yet, you will soon get a team email from one of your child's coaches. As a reminder, we cannot take friend requests and will not change team configurations. For the first few weeks we run GYL clinic style, so a jersey is not absolutely necessary. Where can my child get their jersey? You can pick up the jersey at any session from your coach. If you don't know what team you are on, please see one of us or the master coaches and we will direct you. If you need a larger or smaller size, please see one of us and we can help you make an exchange. I'm confused, when is my child's session and what field are they on? We are typically on the turf fields at Greenwich High School. Every player has Friday Night Clinic from 6:00 to 7:00. On Sundays the schedule is as follows: Kindergarten & 1st - 1:00 to 2:00 2nd Grade - 2:00 to 3:00 3rd & 4th Grade - 3:00 to 4:00 We plan to update the website and send out an e-mail each Wednesday with that week's schedule. We have no control over the fields, so please expect occasional changes from week to week. The schedule can always be found at the following link: House League Logistics. Changes will be reflected here and we will always try to get an e-mail out. Visit our website GYL Team Store We have partnered again with Too Sparrows to bring you a great line of GYL branded products. Check it out and show your team spirit!!

More coaches mean more reps! Our Master Coaches prepare all practice planners, so no significant lacrosse experience is necessary. All teams have multiple coaches with different levels of experience. Let us know if you'd like to join the fun! Questions? Feel free to reach out to Sarah O'Connor (girls) or Craig Wingrove (boys) with any questions, comments, or suggestions.
