Who We Are
Buford Youth Lacrosse Association (BYLA) is a community-based youth lacrosse program serving K–8th grade boys and girls in and around Buford, Georgia. Our goal is to introduce kids to the fast-paced, exciting game of lacrosse in a positive, supportive environment.
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop young athletes on and off the field by teaching the game of lacrosse while instilling life-long values. We believe success is measured not just by the scoreboard, but by the growth in character, effort, and teamwork.
Our Core Values
-
Competitiveness Through Hard Work
We encourage players to push themselves, set goals, and give their best effort at every practice and game. Hard work builds confidence and a competitive mindset that carries into school and life. -
Strong Character
We teach responsibility, accountability, and resilience. Players learn how to handle both success and setbacks with maturity and grace. -
Good Sportsmanship
Respect for teammates, coaches, opponents, and officials is non-negotiable. We celebrate fair play and teach players to win with humility and lose with dignity. -
Skill Development for Every Player
Our coaches focus on fundamentals: passing, catching, cradling, shooting, footwork, and game awareness. We work to ensure that every player improves, regardless of their starting skill level.
