How players come up here
The programs a Media player moves through, youngest first.
-
Grades K to 2
Early clinic and intramural entry
Many Delaware County towns, including those around Media, run kindergarten through 2nd grade clinic or intramural programs that introduce stick skills and basic rules before players step into full travel competition. These entry points feed directly into the SEPYLA and PAGLA rosters that begin in 3rd grade.
-
Grades 3 to 8
SEPYLA and PAGLA travel seasons
Boys compete in SEPYLA and girls in PAGLA on a mid-March to late May schedule built around one weekend game and two weeknight practices each week. Both associations organize teams along school district lines, so Media-area players stay close to home while facing clubs from across Delaware and the surrounding counties.
-
High school
Central League and PIAA playoffs
Penncrest competes in the Central League in Delaware County, with the PIAA spring season running from late March through mid-May, District 1 playoffs in late May, and the state tournament at Penn State in early June. Springfield-Delco and Ridley are among the neighboring programs that regularly reach the postseason.

Summer and fall
Club tryouts and fall tournaments
Club and travel play runs June through July and returns in the fall, with regional programs such as Delco Lacrosse and Forge Lacrosse Club holding tryouts and weekend tournaments. Winter box and indoor clinics from December through February keep players sharp before spring evaluations open again.
