Lacrosse Grades Are In! Town Academy Earns Straight A's
January 26, 2010

Over 1,200 youngsters (ages 7 to 15) graduated with honors from last year's Town of Hempstead Lacrosse Academy. With a championship calibre faculty, comprised of respected high school coaches and outstanding college players, the academy offers expert instruction on lacrosse fundamentals and strategies. "Our young lacrosse students will improve their skill level and increase their enjoyment by working together with staff members and other players," commented Supervisor Kate Murray.

The academy's "goal" for 2010 is to offer youngsters a great summer of lacrosse instruction. Weekly clinics begin on Monday, June 21 and continue through August 5th. Clinics run from Monday to Thursday each week. This year the lacrosse academy will present seven weekly clinics and the number of evening sessions has been increased as a convenience to parents and a concession to hot summer days.

Clinics are open to Town of Hempstead youngsters ONLY, with a registration fee of $60 per student and a discount rate of $45 for additional family members. All payments must be made in the form of check or money order payable to the Town of Hempstead.

If openings remain, registrations will be accepted at the scheduled park prior to the first session of each clinic. The 2010 Lacrosse Academy registration application can be accessed from the town's web site at www.toh.li/content/rc/athletics/lacrosse.html. For additional information on the town's lacrosse program call the Academy Office at (516) 783-3208 or (516) 783-3205.

The 2010 schedule of Lacrosse Academy clinics includes:

July 26 to July 29 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Rath Park, Franklin Square
August 2 to August 5 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Rath Park, Franklin Square.

"We look forward to the Lacrosse Academy's 6th Anniversary season and we encourage youngsters of all skill levels to join the team and be part of the fun and excitement," added Supervisor Murray. "We also thank our good friends at King Kullen for their continued sponsorship of our lacrosse program and their support of our young athletes."
