A PLACE TO LEARN.
A TEAM TO BELONG TO.
The Verde Valley Vortex are part of Northern Arizona Youth Lacrosse. Our recreation-first approach gives local kids a chance to learn the fundamentals, make friends, and build confidence close to home.
Our inaugural developmental season welcomes complete beginners and returning players. As participation grows, NAYL is working toward more playing opportunities by age and experience. NAYL is also working toward future competitive league opportunities as programs grow.
