For those of you with younger children as well you should note that
REGISTRATION FOR THE GIRLS AND BOYS K-2 CLINICS IS OPEN. Register on our website.
Tryouts for the boys 5/6 travel team will be held on March 9th from 1:00 - 3:00 at Harrison High School on the turf field. Anyone not selected for the travel team will play in our House Program. Tryouts for the boys 7/8 travel team will be held on March 17th from 2:00 - 4:00 at Harrison High School on the turf field.
The girls uniforms have been ordered and the boys travel team members will be fitted at the tryouts.
HARRISON YOUTH LACROSSE, (HYL), is a
private, not for profit, VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION. HYL is
not a town or school sponsored organization however we enjoy an excellent working relationship with both. All
BOARD MEMBERS and Parent
COACHES are
UNPAID VOLUNTEERS and
are not employees of the Harrison Recreation Department or Harrison Central School District. We also do have some paid non-parent trainers working with us. The volunteers generously give of their time with the intent of providing the children of Harrison with the best, most affordable lacrosse experience possible. Our paid trainers are also an integral part of our program. Your support of our efforts is greatly appreciated.
If anyone is interested in getting involved with our organization, coaching or otherwise assisting with our efforts please feel free to contact me at any time at
. I would encourage all members to check our web site on a regular basis for program and lacrosse related information. I would also recommend checking out the many great links on our site to help you keep current and/or learn about the great game of lacrosse. All coaches or potential coaches should register on our website and complete our coaching requirements.
Team coaches and managers will communicate throughout the season with the players and parents through the web site. Each coach will also have a team meeting during the first few weeks of practice at which time roles / responsibilities / guidelines and expectations will be identified. We will distribute uniforms prior to the start of game play once we receive them.
There was a recent article titled "Five Big Things Every Lacrosse Parent Should Know" that you may want to take a look at in lacrosse magazine.
