2010 Beaches Box Lacrosse Rep Team Tryouts This year the box rep tryouts will begin in mid-February at Stephen Leacock Arena, located at 2500 Birchmount Road. Please note the direction on arena maps: http://www.arenamaps.com/arenas/1470.htm NOTE: ALL PLAYERS MUST BE REGISTERED WITH TBLC & OLA TO TRYOUT The current schedule is listed below: Bantam ('96 & '97) - February 16, 6-8 pm Midget ('94 & '95) - February 23, 6-8 pm Midget - March 2, 6-8 pm Bantam - March 9, 6-8 pm Novice ('00 &'01) - March 23, 6-8 pm Novice - March 30, 6-8 pm Peewee-aged ('98 & '99) players are currently practicing at Stephen Leacock on Saturday mornings 9-11 am and their tryouts will be on the last two Saturdays in March (March 20 & March 27). There will be one additional tryout scheduled in April for each rep team listed above. The reason for the early tryouts above is so that we do not conflict with the field lacrosse tryouts/practices that will take place in March. Spring field lacrosse is not offered to the Tyke ('02 & '03) and Intermediate-aged ('89 - '93) players so their box rep tryouts will be held in April at the Ted Reeve Bubble; dates and times will be provided once the specifics are available. Peanut ('04 - '06) and Tyke-aged kids are encouraged to practice lacrosse every Monday evening at the Adam Beck Community Centre. Beaches Lacrosse coaches offer basic lacrosse skills between 7- 8 pm every Monday evening. The following coaches have been selected for the 2010 Beaches Box Lacrosse Rep Program: Intermediate: Bruce Boyden (please contact Bruce at rbboyden@sympatico.ca for further information) Midget 1: Marc Olimpo Midget 2: TBD Bantam: Jeff Easby, Curtis Travis, Mike Nishimura Peewee 1: Joe McNeil, Doug Colby Peewee 2: Roger MacDonald, Peter Turner Novice: John Beckett, Adam Munro, Gil Raposo Tyke 1: TBD Tyke 2: TBD Peanut: Angus Lloyd, Scott Driscoll For further information, please visit www.beacheslacrosse.com or contact John Steele, VP All Star Box @ vpallstar@beacheslacrosse.com

The Beaches U19 team followed up last years Division III gold with a Division II silver medal in 2009. On November 1 one U19 semi-final game saw the Toronto Beaches storm out to an 8-1 half-time lead over Mississauga. The teams traded off goals in the second half on way to a 12-5 Beaches victory. During the season Mississauga had dealt Beaches one of its only two defeats making the victory doubly sweet. In the other semi-final Peterborough, 12-0 in the regular season, faced the Oshawa (II) Blue Knights; a young team that just snuck into the DII play-off picture in the final week-end of the season. The Blue Knights did the virtually unthinkable and edged out a thrilling 7-6 victory over the heavily favoured Lakers. In the championship match Beaches ran up a 5-3 first quarter lead. Oshawa clawed their way back to a 6-6 half-time tie then a 9-8 lead going into the fourth. Beaches tied it up but gave up a couple more goals. Not done, the Beaches offence generated more opportunities but finished with a couple of shots off the post with game ending 11-9 for Oshawa.
