Long Island Beach Bums: Welcome

 

       

 

Wanna be a bum?....

Would you like to be a member of a Girl's travel lacrosse team on Long Island that is all about lacrosse and not just about making money?

The Long Island Beach Bums have fielded teams for the past 6 seasons. We have competed at such high level tournaments as Lax by the Sea, NE Allstars, Lax for the Cure, National Draw, Best of the Beach, The Diane Whipple event and LI Elite Showcase. We also sponsor and run the Babylon LAX Blast.

The program was started by and has been run by Tim Harrison and Greg Antolini since its inception in October 2005. Tim Harrison is the Babylon Girls Varsity Head Coach and was named  League II Coach of the year in 2012.

The Beach Bums are looking for dedicated and competitive players who would like to improve their technical skill as well as make lifelong friendships. We dont think the younger girls need to spend 4 weekends of your summer traveling to away tournaments so we try to keep travel for younger teams to a minimum.

 If this sounds like a team you might be interested in trying out for or if you would just like some more information, please contact us by phone 516 971 1680 or email www.beachbumslax@hotmail.com

   

 We look forward to hearing from you. 

 The Long Island Beach Bums added new coaches to our program last season and will be adding more this season.
