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.

Update - Spring of 2009. DCS has a Boys Modified, Boys Varsity and Girls JV Team. Lacrosse (boys and girls) has become partially funded by the school district for the 2009-2010 season. Youth level girls lacrosse is added to the schools JV offering.
