On behalf of Harrison Youth Lacrosse I would like to thank everyone who was involved in making this another great spring season ... It's hard to believe it's over!!! 

Lacrosse continues to grow throughout the country and Harrison is no exception!!!  This spring we welcomed back experienced players along with many players new to the sport of lacrosse.  While we saw growth in all our programs we were particularly happy to note the explosive growth of our girls programs!!! 

Our primary goal is and always will be on improving skills and teaching the game of lacrosse at all levels.  This focus coupled with hard work on the part of players and coaches has led to continued success as evidenced by our 5/6 Boys Travel Team who won their 2nd consecutive CONNY tournament title ... GO DAWGS!!!

Harrison Youth Lacrosse is a not-for-profit, volunteer organization.  We are solely funded by membership fees and the organization is entirely dependent upon volunteer Board Members and Coaches ... without whom we would not exist.  With that in mind I would like to thank my fellow HYL Board Members for their tireless efforts on behalf of our children and our community:

Lynne McTague
Cynthia Korzelius
Frank Allegretti
Paul Amicucci
Joe Alfredo
Nick Barnwell
Bruce Kinisky

Just as important to the success of our organization are the coaches that volunteered their time:

5/6 Grade Boys Travel:  Sean Kelly, Matt Rowe, Frank Allegretti
5/6 Grade Boys House: Bob Cipolla, Joe Alfredo, Alex Van Tongeren
3/4 Grade Boys:  Frank Allegretti, Ray Kahn, Ken Hoexter, Alex Van Tongeren
K - 2 Boys:  Bruce Kinisky, Matt Joseph, Ken Hoexter, Jeremy Paul

5/6 Grade Girls:  Heather Grose, Lynne McTague
3/4 Grade Girls:  Lynne McTague, John Dattero, Jaclyn Waldman,
Heather Grose
K - 2 Girls:  Matt Joseph, Gabby Fisher, Harrison Varsity and JV Girls

I know there were others who assisted when they could ... I thank you as well.  I apologize if I missed anyone!!!

I also want to be sure to thank Superintendent Ron Belmont and Rick Magrino of the Harrison Recreation Department for their assistance and continued support of Harrison Youth Lacrosse!!!

Finally I'd like to thank all the parents and players who participated this past season.  Parents I'd like to thank you for all your support and players I hope you all learned a lot, had fun and enjoyed playing the great game of lacrosse!!!  To those of you moving on to Middle School programs thank you for participating and I wish you all continued success.  To those that will be returning next season I look forward to seeing you once again out on the field and remember ... Keep the stick in your hands, catch, throw and "work the wall"!!!

GO DAWGS!!! ... GO HUSKIES!!!

The CONNY tournament is one of the largest spring youth lacrosse tournaments played. It brings together youth lacrosse teams from all over Connecticut and the Hudson Valley and is considered one of the most competitive tournaments at this level ... Great job!!!
