WGYL is a youth lacrosse league for girls that provides a dynamic and inclusive environment for players to develop lacrosse skills, teamwork and sportsmanship. Girls of varying skill levels participate in learning the fundamentals of the game through practices and competing in weekly travel games on Sundays. Coaches emphasize skill development and progression, and promote camaraderie among team members while fostering a love for the sport.

WGYL competes in the Founders Girls Lacrosse League (FGLL).

The Classic program focuses on skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Participants learn fundamental lacrosse techniques, positional play, and game strategies in a supportive and inclusive environment. Coaches emphasize fair play and character building, fostering both athletic and personal growth. The program includes age-appropriate drills, practices, and league games to provide a well-rounded lacrosse experience for youth players.

Our Classic program competes in the Founders League (Founders Girls Lacrosse League (fgll.org). The season consists of 8 to 10 games starting in early April and running through mid-June against other town programs in a 5 - 45 minute ride radius of Westwood. Games are held on Sundays. WGYL fields teams from Grade 3 through Grade 8.

The philosophy of the Classic program is that teams are evenly balanced based on player skill and that all players participate equally (i.e. equal playing time) in all games. There are no "A" and "B" teams, nor standings or playoffs at the Classic level in FGLL.
