The Bedford Cannons travel teams participate in the New Hampshire Youth Lacrosse Association, or NHYLA. The season runs from early April through early June. Games are typically on Sundays, though that can vary, and our teams practice 1-2 times per week depending on the age group.  All practices occur in Bedford. 

NHYLA is the main governing body for town lacrosse in the state of NH and includes teams from all over the state. Our teams will play games at home in Bedford and away games in other towns within New Hampshire, typically in the southern or southeastern part of the state. 

The NHYLA season concludes with the NYHLA Festival in early June, where teams will play several games in a single day against teams near them in the standings. 

All registered athletes in grades 1-8 are invited to participate in our Winter offseason skill sessions at the NH Sportsplex. These begin in mid-January.  Details can be found on the calendar page once available. 

The teams we put together each year depend on the number of registered players, but we attempt to field teams at the following levels:

Boys

1st/2nd Grade
3rd/4th Grade
5th/6th Grade
7th/8th Grade

Girls

1st/2nd Grade
3rd/4th Grade
5th/6th Grade
7th/8th Grade

For age groups requiring an evaluation for team placement, those evaluations will occur in mid February.
