The 2010 Season Has Started

The 2010 Season has started. It has been a busy week but it has been great to see all the lacrosse players back on the floor. This week is a practice week just to get people back into the swing of things.

On Monday we kicked off the season with our Tyke/Novice Division. They were run through an amazing practice on the floor to get them used to playing with the ball, digging in the corners and passing and scooping the ball.

Tuesday the future Lacrosse stars the Peanuts were on the floor. I really enjoy them and they did a series of skill building exercises including a great game of Red Rover learning cradling skills at the same time.

After the Peanuts, the Bantam/Minor Midget took the floor last night for a great practice that was well run. The night was capped off by rewarding the boys with a penalty shot competition. The Bantam/Minor Midget division looks like it will be a great division to watch this year.

Tonight the PeeWee division takes the floor at 6:30pm for a 2 hour practice.

Tomorrow the Tyke/Novice have their 2nd hour on the floor this week with a practice.

A special thanks to all the parents who have stepped up to help in the arena and coach. Your help does make a difference.

The 2010 MMLA House League is season is approaching rapidly. The Season starts Monday April 19, 2010 with the Tyke/Novice group kicking off the season with a practice at 7:30pm at Mt. Joy area. It is going to be great to see the kids and the stars of tomorrow back on the floor.

Week 1 of lacrosse this year is a practice week. It is a chance to get our kids back into the swing of things, back on the floor and playing the game they love so much.

Currently we are in the process of calling all players and most of these calls should be completed by Thursday night. The schedules will be up tonight sometime as well.

I would like to take this time to thank my fellow members of the executive for all their help in getting this year’s 2010 House League Season started, to all the people who have volunteered to coach or help out and to our parents/players for being supportive of our great organization. A special thank you goes out to my wife Kelli for contacting all the parent’s of our players so they know when our season starts.

If you are interested in getting involved – coaching or otherwise, please email Rob Cairns the House League Director at rob@cairns-clan.com

Speaking of Markham Lacrosse, did you know that two current Toronto Rock players played some of their minor lacrosse in Markham? If you did not know they are Scott Campbell and Creighton Reid. This Friday the Rock try and earn a playoff spot this year and a possible home playoff game as they play the Rochester Knighthawks. Go down to the ACC and support the Toronto Rock – Go Rock Go!!!!!!

That is about it for now. If anyone has any questions, concerns, or even if you want to learn a little more about the game, please stop and say hi at any MMLA event.
