The Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club is pleased to announce our third season of girls' lacrosse for the spring of 2010. We will be fielding the following teams: 1st & 2nd grade (combined), 3rd & 4th grade (combined), 5th & 6th grade (combined), and 7th & 8th grade (combined). No experience is necessary for any age group. Registration will begin around Dec. 1st, and will close on January 8th. To register (after Dec. 1st), go to www.chysc.org and follow the link for girls’ lacrosse.
1st/2nd grade level will be instructional only, and will meet once a week on Sunday afternoons in April and May. The season will end with a play day (informal tournament) with other local lacrosse clubs. Coaches will be local high school varsity girls' lacrosse players.
3rd/4th grade level will be an instructional intramural league, and will meet once a week on Saturdays (morning or early afternoon), and once a week during a weekday evening, in April and May. The season will end with a play day (informal tournament) with other local lacrosse clubs. Coaches will be local school coaches and/or adult Club volunteers, with girls’ high school varsity assistants.
5th/6th grade teams and 7th/8th grade teams will be instructional, but will also play games against other local Bucks/Montgomery County club teams in the PAGLA (Philadelphia Area Girls’ Lacrosse Association) East league. The season runs from late March to early June. Everyone who signs up will participate in practices and games. If we have enough girls, we will create multiple teams based upon ability. Practice times will be once or twice a week during weekday evenings, and once during weekends when there is no game. Practices will be at our Carson Valley fields in Flourtown. Games are once a week on the weekends, with an occasional Thursday evening game. Coaches will be local school coaches and/or adult Club volunteers with girls’ high school varsity assistants.
Fees are as follows:
1st/2nd grade team $40
3rd/4th grade team $65
5th/6th grade team $90
7th/8th grade team $90
NOTE: Girls at the 5th through 8th grade levels may be required to join US Lacrosse as a junior member at a cost of $25/member in order to play in tournaments. This fee is not included in the fees above, and shall be assessed at a later date should we enter any PAGLA or PLA tournaments. Additional fees may also be required for to cover tournament entry fees.
Girls will be expected to provide their own sticks and eyewear. Note that girls’ sticks are different from boys’ sticks. Protective eyewear is mandatory at all practices and games. The Club will provide goalie equipment, jerseys, goals and practice balls. Information regarding types of equipment and store locations will be available later.
We welcome parent volunteers to help coach and manage each age group. Please e-mail me at jfk@kriegerarchitects.com if you'd like to become involved in helping us with this exciting and fast-growing sport.
