From Press Release
Over the past 9 years lacrosse players have proudly laced up their cleats and taken the field for a higher purpose as members of the HEADstrong Lacrosse Club. The non-profit lacrosse club most recognized by their iconic lime green uniforms and equipment has helped raise national cancer awareness and funds to support those affected by the disease.
HEADstrong players are not just players looking to gain exposure but student-athletes who understand the importance of serving others, standing up for those who can’t and are committed to a higher purpose.
The HEADstrong Lacrosse Club of Pennsylvania (HLCPA) is ON A MISSION, announcing this week open tryout dates for their fall 2015 and summer 2016 boys’ lacrosse teams. Players from the region are encouraged to tryout to be part of the nationally renowned lacrosse program committed to supporting the HEADstrong Foundation™. Respectfully observing the month of August to allow athletes and families to recover from the craziness of the summer tournament season, the HEADstrong Lacrosse Club of PA will host their youth and high school tryouts during the month of September, which is also Blood Cancer Awareness Month.
In effort to strengthen their commitment to cancer patients and their families HLCPA has announced their expansion to include 3 new youth teams which will take the field in the fall of 2015. HEADstrong South Youth Boys will be the compliment to the successful HEADstrong North Youth Boys Program and will consist of 3 boys’ youth teams (classes of 2020, 2021, 2022) comprised from players from Delaware and Chester counties. HEADstrong North will continue to develop players from Bucks, Montgomery and Berks counties as well as the Lehigh Valley.
Tryouts are open to all players in the appropriate graduating year. There will be a $40 tryout fee with proceeds supporting the HEADstrong Foundation™. All players are encouraged to register online in advance. Walk-ups will be accepted however online registration is preferred. All protective gear including mouth guard will be required for tryouts.
