Parents,
Next Saturday night we have the opportunity to move our games to the University of Delaware turf fields rather than Sunday at Middletown. This will prevent a VERY long afternoon at Middletown fields. The UD Men's LAX team plays Drexel at 7 PM on the Stadium field that night and following our games the boys and families can attend the college lacrosse game. We realize that this is a late notification for the game change and may inconvenience some families. If you cannot attend it is understandable, but this is a special opportunity for our club and the boys to play on truf fields.
We will play the following schedule:
5 PM
Field #2 U11
6PM
Field #2 U9
Thank you for you cooperation in this last minute change.

The U13/15 teams will be participating in a Youth Day Scrimmage in Middletown on Sunday, March 18th. This scrimmage is used to get the boys some playing time as well as training for some of the young referees who will be reffing our matches this spring.
We do not have enough boys to support two different U13 and U15 teams. In order for us to play, the U13 boys will be playing up on the U15 team. We will continue to make sure all boys get adequate playing time. Please do not think if you son is U13, he will not get much playing time on the U15 team. We are an instructional club and all boys will play.
Games will be 30 minutes long and on Field 2. Our schedule is as follows:
12:30 Brandywine vs. MIddletown
1:30 Brandywine vs. Cecil
2:00 Brandywine vs. Newark
Directions
1. Route 1 South
2. Exit on Route 299 W towards Middletown
3. Travel approximately 1 mile on Rt 299 and then left (after Middletown H.S.) on Silver Lake Rd.
4. About half a mile down the road on the right are the lacrosse fields.
