posted 10/23/2008 Commitment Level Required for Travel Lacrosse (5th through 8th grade)
Prior to taking a position on a TYL Travel Lacrosse team please understand that when a player accepts a position on a team, he or she will be making a commitment to every other player on that team. The team will be learning and practicing new systems of play that will only be meaningful if ALL players learn those systems. Each player selected for a team will be expected to commit to the practice, game and tournament schedules throughout the entire Spring Season and progress with the rest of the team. If a player accepts a spot on a team and demonstrates an inability or unwillingness to live up to the level of commitment required by the team, TYL reserves the right to excuse the player from the team to be placed on another team.. All coaches value commitment - if you are not fully committed, please do not take a spot from a player who is.

While on staff for the 2005 through 2007 seasons, she helped lead her team to three straight appearances in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Tournament while coaching six ODAC All-Conference players. As a student-athlete at Oneonta State, Andersen was a three-year starter. She led the team in ground balls and was the team's second-leading scorer in 2003. She guided her team to the SUNYAC Playoffs in 2002, 2003 and 2004 and advanced to the championship game in her sophomore and junior seasons.
Our Winter program will focus on instruction, skill building and scrimmaging in preparation for the Spring 2009 season.

posted 08/20/2008 TYL is happy to announce the 2008 fall lacrosse program
Parks & Recreation Weather Hotline- 452-5169.
If the weather is at all questionable you need to call. Your coach will not contact you. Select 1 for little league fields and listed for Spring Hill update.
Starting Sunday September 7, TYL will have our own dedicated box lacrosse field at Spring Hill Park. This will be similar in some ways to the field the children use for our winter session at the Sports Zone. The purpose of our fall lacrosse program is for the children have fun playing the game on a much smaller field that promotes an even faster pace, providing as many touches of the ball as possible with limited physical contact.
Box lacrosse field highlights
- Full equipment, including mouthguards. Need reversible jerseys from spring season.
- No long poles.
- Limited hitting, stick checking only
- No goalies- special small goals with a normal sized crease forcing the players to hone their shooting skills.
- 6 v 6, Sub on the fly
The fall program will unfortunately be for the boys only. We would love to run it for our girls program but with the departures of Coaches O’Brien and Cristiano, there is a major coaching vacuum on the girl’s side of our organization. If you might be interested in coordinating our girls program, contact the TYL vice president, Peter Tinnesz at 414-4932. If there is sufficient interest in running a Girls 2nd-4th grade- please email me and I will run that program.
Start Date: Sunday September 7th.
Sunday Field Times:
10:00- 11:30 Bantam- DOB 2000, 2001& 2002 (Coach Clark, Ouellette & Tinnesz)
11:30- 1:00 Lightening- DOB 1998 & 1999 (Coach Burden, DeVito & McEwan)
1:00- 2:30 Juniors- DOB 1996 & 1997 (Coach Schutz, Watson, Ouellette & Hans)
2:30- 4:00 Seniors- DOB 1994 & 1995 (Coach Burke & Ieronimo)
We will not be charging for the fall season and hence registration will not be necessary. Simply show up on your teams alloted time! Box lacrosse will be open to ALL children who were registered and paid for our Spring 2008 season. This is for insurance and equipment reasons. Simply just show up to your groups allotted time!
New participants are welcome to play but MUST be both Trumbull residents and become members of US Lacrosse. No exceptions! The membership cost is $25 and can be completed online at- http://www.lacrosse.org Proof of membership must be mailed to our registrar, Jake Morris at 18 Brandy Lane. All spring 2008 players are already members of US lacrosse, so registration is not necessary. From an instructional standpoint, the fall season does not provide the same comprehensive beginners introduction as the spring season does.
Directions to Spring Hill Park: Spring Hill Park is located above the school bus depot and near the town refuse facilities on Spring Hill Road. Turn into the school bus depot and follow the road to the right past the building. You cannot see the field at this point. Take the driveway going up the hill to the top. Field is on the left.
Trumbull Youth Lacrosse is seeking a corporate or individual donor for the box lacrosse field materials. The cost will be approximately $2,500. Trumbull Youth Lacrosse is an IRS registered, tax exempt, public charity. Depending upon your tax situation, contributions are tax deductible under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Donor will have website recognition and field naming rights pending board approval.
