Andover Youth Lacrosse Association: Welcome
Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the United States. Kids all over the country are learning to play this fast-paced game, and the Andover Youth Lacrosse Association wants to give kids in Andover the opportunity to get in on the action. So, the AYLA is working to build a youth lacrosse program right here in Andover, Kansas this Spring.
The Andover Youth Lacrosse Association (AYLA) will field several teams in the Greater Wichita Youth lacrosse League (GWYLL) for the Spring 2009 season. The GWYLL is an instructional youth lacrosse league for lacrosse players in grades 3 through 8.
FREE EQUIPMENT LOANERS are available for the first 25 AYLA participants. Equipment packages consist of helmets, gloves elbow pads, shoulder pads and a lacrosse stick. A refundable deposit of $150.00 is required for equipment loaners. Deposits will be refunded upon return of equipment to AYLA.
WHO: The AYLA 2009 Youth Lacrosse program is open to lacrosse players in grades 3 through 8.
Although the GWYLL plays according to boy's lacrosse rules, girls are welcome to play along with boys in the GWYLL. [The AYLA is planning to coordinate a girls lacrosse program in the future. If you are interested in helping us to get girls' started in Andover, e-mail Kevin Boyle at kcboyle13@hotmail.com.]
The AYLA will place participants on age-appropriate teams. Teams from the AYLA will play against other teams from the Greater Wichita area. Players will receive a uniform and membership in US Lacrosse including a subscription to Lacrosse Magazine.
