The Northern York Lacrosse Club is organized as a 501C.7 non profit youth sports organization, incorporated in the state of Pennsylvania.

The club was created by Scott Brisbane and John Barricklow in 2002. Both John and Scott have been involved in a number of youth sports development programs including the Soccer and Baseball associations as a coach, organizer and board member.

The program has seen tremendous growth since inception.  Here is the clubs  growth plan:

Growth Goals

2003
Club Formation

2004
The club will expand the age sensitive team configurations to include Youth, Middle School and High School programs. Depending on the number of participants, players may be selected to compete on an “A” and “B” team as talent and age development dictates. Competition scheduling will be devised to accommodate the various levels of skill development. Teams will be encouraged to compete at the highest level possible. Board members will be recruited to assist in the management of the club.

2005
An aggressive plan will be created to develop the necessary team elements to compete at the High School varsity level with other established local teams.

2006
The inaugural players will have developed their skills to make a case that they can compete with previously established programs. The oldest team should be made up of upper class High School players. A youth development program will be firmly in place.

2007
Each division will seek the appropriate level of competition with the most experienced High School players competing at the Varsity High School and JV levels in the York County Lacrosse League.

2008
Prepare for PIAA acceptance and adjust club structure accordingly.

2009 and beyond ----Youth & High school teams were divided.  The NYLC is strictly setup for the Youth Levels (U11, U13, & U15).  The High school teams will operate independently as a club high school sport for 2 years until the school officially accepts lacrosse as a school sponsored sport (JV & Varsity).  The NYLC will operate under revised guidelines and continue to develop the feeder program for the High School teams.  The club will continue to grow by primarily targeting youths in the Dillsburg/Mechanicsburg area.  The program will continue to play in the York County Lacrosse League since there is not a Mid-Penn youth league.
