Derry Youth Lacrosse Association

⭐️ 2026 ASTROMAN AWARD ⭐️

Presented to the player who consistently demonstrated exceptional sportsmanship, a positive attitude, and an unwavering work ethic throughout the entire season. This athlete led by example, supported teammates, and brought energy, determination, and character to every practice and game.

We would also like to recognize two coaches whose dedication went far beyond the sidelines this season. They selflessly volunteered their time to coach teams their own children were not a part of, often sacrificing the opportunity to watch their own kids play so that their teams could have the leadership and support they need. Their commitment to our players, families, and the DYLA community is a true example of what it means to put the program and its players first.

What an incredible season, Astros!! 🥍♥️

🥍8th Grade Spotlight 🥍

15 of our 20 players on this year's 14U team were 8th graders. What an incredible group and an unforgettable season.

To our graduating players: thank you for your leadership, dedication, and the memories you've given this program. As you take the next step in your lacrosse journey, keep working hard, have fun, and never stop chasing your goals.

We can't wait to see what comes next for each of you. Make us proud! ⭐

8th Graders & Coaches had themselves a game!!
A long-standing DYLA tradition continued Monday night as the 8th Graders took on the Coaches in the annual showdown. The coaches held on for a 10-7 victory, but the real win was celebrating our graduating players and another great season together. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive! 🥍🥍
