Season Wrap & Champ Pictures
Coaches, players and parents, thanks to all of you for your time and effort this season to reestablish lacrosse in Northern Vermont. Despite so many issues and unknowns, we were able to complete the entire season with only a few missed games.
And the Championship Games for the 7/8 teams demonstrated the effort and perseverance of the players. Despite soaring temps on the turf, the players battled so hard and put on a great demonstration of lacrosse. Both boys games were settled in either the last minute or overtime. And the Girls D1 game came down to the last possession. After four VERY intense games, the players also showed their sportsmanship with heartfelt Honor the Game ceremonies.
One memory I’ll take away was a Barre girl, after their heartbreaking one-goal loss, yelling at the entire Middlebury team that she had so much fun playing them and thanking them for a great game. That’s what it’s all about.
Here are the 2021 7/8 Champions.
Girls D1 – Middlebury
Girls D2 – Plattsburgh
Boys D1 – South Burlington
Boys D2 – Harwood 2
Congratulations NVTYLL Champs!
Congratulations to the following teams who emerged victorious today to win their division in the NVTYLL playoffs:
Girls D1 – Middlebury
Girls D2 – Plattsburgh
Boys D1 – South Burlington
Boys D2 – Harwood 2

“I can set up a whole league program leader portal demo for next week. I will be doing earlier practice so any time after 7pm I can do it for the league. Let me know your thoughts. I can do M, W or F next week.” So if anyone wants a demo, can you email Ryan at rlarkum@uslacrosse.org and he can figure out the best date.

2021 Teams and Hosting Information
Spring is in the air and so is lacrosse! Please complete the form below if you are a program manager so we know how many teams we have for the upcoming season and which weekends you are able to host. This information is crucial to the planning of a safe and successful season.
NVTYLL WALL BALL SNYPR CHALLENGE #1
Using wall-ball is the best way to improve on stick work and hands, we always tell our players and our children alike to spend time outside of practice and games on the wall and now we can compete on the wall!
The NVTYLL board would like to offer a challenge to all NVTYLL players to get the free app SNYPR on their phones or parents phones (available for both iPhone and Android) and hit the wall. We have already registered each town as a team, teams are Boys and Girls combined, and have included the team list below.
The NVTYLL board has set the “Team Challenge” (1000 reps) from now until May 15th. Once setup on your phone the SNYPR app will alert your phone of future challenges from NVTYLL
But you don’t need to wait for NVTYLL to send out challenges. You will be able to see everyone that registers on your team and challenge each other. The app also has some cool region and global leaderboards that let you know how you rank against other SNYPRs. The more reps the better!
Below are the instructions on finding the app and getting set up as well as a link to the SNYPR page that shows you how to position the phone on your arm for proper rep counts.
Next steps are easy:
- Ask your players to download the SNYPR app and sign up (available for both iPhone and Android).
During the in-app signup process, each player will be asked to enter a Team Code. Ask your players to enter your unique 5-digit Team Code in the app. Note – if a player has already downloaded and signed up for the SNYPR app, they can also enter your Team Code in the Settings menu (gear icon).
Once they enter your Team Code, they will join your team (Team/Town Name) and be able to see where they rank vs. their teammates on the in-app TEAM leaderboard.
4. Learn How to position your phone! Note that an old sock, bandana, or headband can work for attaching your phone! You may need to get creative.
