Welcome to the Vienna Youth, Inc. (VYI) Lacrosse home page. VYI Lacrosse participates in the Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League (NVYLL). The purpose of the NVYLL is to provide the youth residing within the geographical boundaries of northern Virginia a healthful, enjoyable leisure time activity and as a corollary to develop qualities that may help them in later life, sportsmanship, team play, and integrity.

 

Just in time for the holidays - we are pleased to once again partner with PJ’s Sports in Falls Church to offer an online “fan” store to our families: https://vyiholiday21.itemorder.com/

The store will remain open (accept orders) until 11:59 pm on Saturday, December 4, 2021. 

(Please allow 2-3 weeks from 12/4/21 for ordered items to be ready for pick up from PJ’s Sports in Falls Church.)

VYI Parents:

Concussion awareness is a growing topic in youth sports. In support of our athletes, VYI Lacrosse is providing an overview of concussions to both raise concussion awareness and also instill knowledge about the symptoms and risks of concussions across our coaching staff and parent community.

Please take a few minutes to review the information, which includes signs and symptoms of concussion and return to play risks and guidelines.

Parents are also encouraged to visit the "Heads-up" page on the CDC website to review concussion information and symptoms:
