The Seneca Valley Lacrosse Association will host the 3rd Annual Youth LaxFest at Graham Park on Saturday, May 26th from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Each year, the local participation in our event increases with 16 teams confirmed for this year's festival. We encourage all SVLA players, parents, and fans to come and watch our Youth (grades 5 & 6) teams play, and enjoy a great lacrosse atmosphere!

In addition to 24 great games scheduled for the day on our three fields at Graham Park, we will also have a clinic put on by Coach Poillon and some of his players, a fastest shot competition, lacrosse vendors, and great food at our concession stand!

If you are interested in helping out during the day, we could always use your valuable assistance. Please e-mail Adam Alexander at aalexander@masteryworks.com to let us know when and how you could help out!

We look forward to seeing you there!

The 2012 Lacrosse season is upon us and with it brings the opportunity to immortalize your sons and daughters in pictures. We would like to post images from all the teams games and scrimmages to the website.

If you would like to have your pictures posted to the website all you have to do is upload your images to whatever your favorite image hosting service may be (picasa, flikr, imageshack, etc) and make sure that you share the photo albulm with webmaster@svlacrosse.org.

Just a few notes on the images however: keep the amount of images reasonable - we are suggesting under 50-60 per event, if it is not possible from the gallery which team they are associated with or the game/event, you may want to email webmaster@svlacrosse.org to give some more details, and finally if all else fails and you cannot get the images somewhere contact webmaster@svlacrosse.org and we can work something out with burning a cd or creating space somewhere for you to upload to.

Each family during the Lacrosse year is required to help and work the concession stand. Schedules for this will be posted once the teams have been determined. We have posted some information on what the responsibilities of working the concession stand entail. Concession Stand Info Document

As a resource to our general membership we have added a new section listing Camps, Clinics, and Travel Teams. It can be found under the Information menu above. Please note that Seneca Valley Lacrosse Association does NOT endorse any one of these camps, clinics, or travel teams over any other. We are providing a list of some of them as a resource to our general membership. This is by no means a complete list of everything available to you, and searching the internet, word of mouth and other various advertisements are all other means to find any other number of resources available.

As we all know, concussions have become a huge focus in all levels of sports today. Seneca Valley Lacrosse strives to remain at the forefront of education and concussion awareness. All of our coaches are required to take the NFHS concussion course online and provide documentation as to it's completion. We are also suggesting that everyone - players, coaches and parents -take a few moments to educate themselves about concussions in sports today. The FREE course provided by NFHS is available online and only takes a few minutes out of your day to complete. We highly encourage everyone to take a look.

*** Update *** We feel so strongly in making everyone aware of concussions and how they should be handled, we have made available a few documents that everyone should take some time to read over. There is a new dedicated Concussion Awareness section to the right with some helpfull documents pertaining to the subject.
