About AYLA
Aloha Youth Lacrosse Association (AYLA) was founded in 2003 as a youth club league and player development program for Boys and Girls Grade 2 through High School. Lacrosse in Hawaii is small compared to most of the country, BUT WE ARE GROWING.
Most of the players have learned the sport of Lacrosse from scratch in our league. New players can enter at all age groups. Several top players have advanced to play at the college level.

Coaching
AYLA head coaches are certified under US Lacrosse coach training programs. Most AYLA coaches are former college Lacrosse players, and many from top schools including Navy, Army, St. Johns, Rutgers, DIII power house Salisbury, and other strong programs. Their experience translates into solid development skills and values in our youth players.

Lacrosse games are held at Kapiolani Park in the shadows of Diamond Head. Teams form in late February with practices 2-5 days/week depending upon age group division. Games are played on Sunday afternoons, with a 10-game season running from April-May. 2018 Practices will start the week of February 26th.
