2010 BOX LACROSSE REGISTRATION
Jan 10, 2010, 10:50 pm

BOX LACROSSE REGISTRATION (Up to and Including the 1994 Birthyear) Register Now Road Sign

Hard to believe that its time to register players for the 2010 Box Lacrosse season. Online Registration for box lacrosse is now open, and we would like to have the majority of players registered by the first week of February so that we can determine the number of teams in each age division.  Please note that if we do have "odd" numbers in some divisions (i.e. insufficient number of players for complete teams) it may be necessary to put players on a waiting list, so please make sure you register as soon as possible once registration opens.  Like last year, 2010 registration will be done online via our website (northshoreminorlacrosse.com).  An email will be sent outlining whats upcoming for the 2010 season (rates, evaluation times, Division Coordinator contact info etc.), how to registrar, and for those that have registered online before, you will receive an email containing your username as password.

For all those who registered a box player online previously, you should not have to re-enter your contact info, but you should check the information confirm that it is accurate (especially email and phone numbers) as most of our updates and contact is done via email (and phone for those who do not have regular access to email).  For those visiting our webisite you will find that it has now been moved to a new provider and we anticipate that information concerning registration, teams, tournaments etc will be much more current than in the past.

BOX LACROSSE REGISTRATION (1993 Birthyear and above)

For those players with 1993 Birth years and above, the next organized lacrosse level is Intermediate, we are told that the North Shore will be fielding one Intermediate "B" Box Lacrosse team. Please note that the Intermediate Box Lacrosse Team is not under the jurisdiction of the North Shore Minor Lacrosse Association and players must register with the Intermediate Box Team itself.  We will be providing contact info for this team in our registration email and on the northshoreminorlacrosse.com website.  Given the large number of players migrating out of the 1993 age group it is expected that their will be a high demand for a limited number of spaces at the Intermediate Level so if you have a player who is interested you should contact the the Intermediate team sooner than later.

BC SUMMER GAMES (Field & Box Lacrosse)

This year the BC Summer games will be held in Langley, B.C. on July 22 - 25, 2010.  The North Shore is part of Zone 5, which consists of the following regions: Sunshine Coast, Squamish, North & West Vancouver and Vancouver. This year the eligible birth years are as follows:

Box Lacrosse: Midget Age (1994-95 Birth years)

Field Lacrosse: U14 Age (1995-96 Birth Years)

For those players who are around at that time of the year it is a good and generally fun experience.  We will be providing more information on the Games and sign up procedure as the season progresses.  At the current time we are looking for anyone who maybe interested in coaching the Field Lacrosse Team.  If  you are interested please contact me at 604-929-0489 or rogerpaterson@telus.net.

In closing, I would like to thank Richard Downey for stepping up to take over the Registrar's position for 2010.  We will be providing contact information for this and other positions in our next email.

Best Regards

Roger

 Why play lacrosse? Wayne Gretzky Answers the Question!
The Great One on Lacrosse - Reprinted from the National Post March 2000

"If sport has a high point of the year, it must be the first week of spring."

"...When I was growing up, I used to love this time of year. It was when I put my hockey equipment away and I was absolutely ecstatic to see the end of the hockey season. One of the worst things to happen to the game, in my opinion, has been year-round hockey and, in particular, summer hockey.

"All it does for kids, as far as I can tell, is keep them out of sports they should be doing in warmer weather. I could hardly wait to get my lacrosse stick out and start throwing the ball around. It didn't matter how cold or rainy it would be, we'd be out firing the ball against walls and working on our moves as we played the lacrosse equivalent to road hockey."

"All the good hockey players seemed to play lacrosse in those days and everyone of them learned something from the game to carry over to the other - things athletes can only learn by mixing up games they play when they are young."
