The YLM is considered a "town team" league, and most YLM associations are created by town, suburb, or public high school attendance area. To be eligible for a YLM team, a player must reside in the town, suburb, or high school attendance area of his/her lacrosse association. If a community does not have a youth lacrosse association/YLM team, players must play for the next nearest lacrosse association, determined by driving distance from city/town to city/town.
