To provide an opportunity to develop strong lacrosse skills and to promote the values of sportsmanship and pure athletic enjoyment.

New Board Members for the 2010-11 Lacrosse Season

I hope everyone has had a safe and enjoyable summer.

The 2010-11 Board of Directors has been elected. I would like to take this time to thank all the outgoing Board members, Deb Neidziela, Sarah Cooper, Anthony LoRicco and Steve Cortese. If you see them around town, thank them for all the time and effort they put into making the last few seasons so successful. I would also like to thank all the parents who stepped in as coaches and team managers as well as volunteering for numerous events throughout the year. Without your time and support our jobs would have been much harder.

The 2010-11 Board
President - Bob Leary
Vice President - Sue Ireland
Secretary - Judy Goldstein
Girls Coordinator - Wendy Epke
Boys Coordinator - Rob Tepley
Ombudsman - Paul Farren
Treasurer - Nancy Lorenze

The Board will appoint all volunteer positions at the next meeting in September. If you are interested in being involved with our ever growing organization we can use your help. If you have helped in any of the following areas before, or would be new to our organization we need help in the following areas:
Equipment
Website
Publicity
Picnic
Spring Social
Photo Day
High School Liaison
Fields Committee
Concession Stand
Boys Scheduler/Girls Scheduler
Represent GYLA at local US Lax meetings
Referee Scheduler
Umpire Scheduler
Volunteer Coordinator
Coaches and team managers
or anywhere else you can share your time and talents

As you can see from our list, it takes quite a few people to run GYLA. Our new Board, brings some new enthusiasm and fresh ideas that they are eager to start work on. Contact Bob Leary or Sue Ireland if you are interested in any of the above positions, or if you have any ideas on how to keep improving the GYLA organization. Contact information can be found on the GYLA website for all Board members.

Thanks again for a great couple of seasons and see you on the field in the Spring.

Have you been considering volunteering to coach or Asst. Coach for Guilford Youth Lacrosse?

You may not have played lacrosse before, but you might just be what the club needs!

If you are a parent of a Guilford lacrosse player and are considering helping out next season in any way, shape or form, we have a great opportunity for you!

Become more involved and learn the game of lacrosse!

CONNY is pleased to bring US Lacrosse Coaches training - both Level 1 and Level 2 for boys and girls coaches - to our membership this year.

US Lacrosse has designed coaches training clinics so that coaches may benefit from learning the most current techniques in teaching and coaching lacrosse. This one-of-a-kind program is designed to increase your knowledge of the game while also teaching you the fine art of COACHING.

If you would like to sign up, please contact Rob Tepley (Boys Coordinator) at or Wendy Epke (Girls Coordinator) at . The next Level 1 class is October 16th in New Canaan, CT and Level 2 is February 5th in Wilton. The classes fill up quickly (especially Level 1) so please contact us as soon as possible!

Guilford High School's Craig Vedrani, experience in boys wrestling only, became coach of the Girl's Varsity Lacrosse team this year. He came armed with very little lacrosse knowledge but possessed the ability to be a great coach. He took the team all the way to the state championships. This is an example of why you don't have to have played lacrosse in order to be a great lacrosse coach.

We can teach you if you want to learn. Come help the club prosper!

Give us a call!
