TYLA has been successful in creating an open and transparent experience for the parents and the players, and we've done it by relying on our volunteers (more than 1,300 hours last year) to help keep our costs to our low, and thereby enabling more young players the opportunity to experience Lacrosse.
We are extremely proud of our first special needs player who participated in our 4th grade division and played in every game during the course of the season. His teammates and the opposing teams learned valuable lessons in teamwork, acceptance and sportsmanship that they will not soon forget.
The Telluride Youth Lacrosse Association's Mission is to deliver resources that create and support a positive and safe playing experience for all interested youth in the Telluride Region. Our primary focus is to continue to expand and promote opportunity for a diverse range of participants in Telluride and the surrounding communities, and to cultivate a high quality experience for all area youth interested in playing what has become the fastest growing team sport in the United States.
Lacrosse continues to be the fastest growing team sport in the country and Telluride is no exception. Our program has grown dramatically over the last seven seasons from just 60 kids to more than 250 players expected to participate in the upcoming 2020 season. TYLA is seeking financial assistance to help offset increased general operating expenses commensurate with a rapidly growing program. TYLA does not receive financial support from the Telluride High School or Telluride Parks and Recreation, and needs additional funding to buy equipment and uniforms for kids that can't afford it, pay and train coaches, and continue to make this program available to an ever increasing number of young players. Additional funding through grant support will allow us to keep registration costs at an affordable level for local families and continue to expand what has matured into a very high quality program.
