drydenlogoNCAA Lacrosse at Cornell on Sunday 05/18.  Duke v. OSU @ Noon, SU v. Notre Dame @ 3PM

drydenlogoIf you need equipment we have Lacrosse Coupons from Dicks Sporting Goods available.  There Are some at the Town Recreation Office and I have some.

drydenlogoWe ask that the players provide their own sticks and gloves.  ("boys" rules sticks, no trick sticks, toy sticks or girls lacrosse sticks, the girls sticks have a very shallow pocket)

drydenlogoThe town provides Helmets, Shoulder Pads and Elbow pads.  We also have some gloves available if needed.

drydenlogoREMINDER:  At this time we do not have a "true" girls youth lacrosse program.  The school has had a girls JV team for a couple of years now but we still only have "boys" rules at the youth level.  When getting a stick and gloves for your daughter please make sure to get the correct ones.  Please feel free to contact me with questions.




       



16th Annual Turkeyshoot Lacrosse Tournament

Thank you to everyone that helped out with the fund raiser.  Keep the first weekend of November open for 2008.  Hopefully we will be running the concession stand again and maybe we will have a team or two in the tournament.


 

About The Program

The Dryden Lacrosse Program was started in the Summer and Fall of 2000 by Marty Christofferson.  There were informal practices held 1 day a week at Montgomery Park in the Village of Dryden.  There was an average of 8-12 kids.  In 2001 the program became part of the Town of Dryden Recreation Department.   By 2003 there were 48 players participating.  In 2004 There were 44 players in the youth program and the modified program had 23 players.  2005 saw the addition of a JV team at Dryden Central Schools as an unfunded program.  The youth program numbers grew into the 50's.  In 2006 DCS again had a boys JV team.  A girls JV team was started.  In 2007 the youth program currently has 65 players on board and DSC has JV Girls and JV Boys teams and our first Boys Varsity Team.  All school teams remain unfunded but supported by the school.  Funds are raised by all levels of Dryden Lax.  From the youngest 5 year old youth player up through the seniors and the always important Lax Parents.

Turkeyshoot 2006

Turkeyshoot

Dryden participated in the Turkey Shoot for the first time last fall.  They played in the JV division.  Check out pictures from the tournament on Flickr.com

We are hoping to enter a couple of youth teams in the near future.  The Turkeyshoot is a terrific opportunity to gain more experience.

The 3-4 and 5-6 youth teams will be entered in a season ending tournament in Canandaigua last year(2007).  Both teams played in three games that day.

DRYDEN — The Dryden boys' lacrosse team is ready to leave the parking lot — both metaphorically and literally.

After two seasons at just the modified level and two more with a junior varsity team, the Purple Lions' program is eager to kick off its first varsity campaign. And eager to start playing games instead of practicing on the gradually sloping asphalt of the school's eastern parking lot. drydenjournal2006
