Murphy Tournament Thank You

To Our YAC Boys & Girls Lacrosse Parents,

 

I would like to sincerely thank all the parents/siblings etc. that volunteered at our Murphy Tournament.   This is the first year we ran the tournament over two full days and it is a huge amount of work, as all of you that participated know, and it can only be successful when everyone lends a hand.   The committee has received many positive comments about how well run and organized our tournament was and they could not believe it was run by volunteers.  For those of you that stepped in and helped when you saw a need, even if it wasn’t your “hour,” I truly appreciate it, and you know who you are!    If your child needs a letter for community service hours, please contact me at .  As most of you probably know, much of the proceeds from the tournament benefit the Matt Kull Foundation, and we anticipate that we will make a generous donation again this year. 

 

Each year we will strive to make our tournament even better!  If you have any suggestions/comments that you think will assist the committee in improving our tourney I encourage you to forward them to me at the above email address as well.  Also, please consider joining our committee next year, we will send out an e-mail to the lacrosse community when the time rolls around.  We have many long-time key committee members whose youngest children are “moving up” to the HS and will not be a part of the YAC anymore,   and several others, myself included, that have only one more year…..  We need to make sure that there are enough experienced committee members to ensure a seamless transition and carry on the fine tradition of the Charlie Murphy Youth Lacrosse Tournament.    

 

If there is anyone that is still interested in purchasing a tournament t-shirt, please let me know that as well. 

 

Lisa Graham

Murphy Tournament Volunteer Coordinator

Invite to the Inaugural 2009 YAC Senior Send-off Lacrosse Night!

To Our Boys Lax Senior Division Parents
 
Here is a very important message and invite to the Inaugural 2009 YAC Senior Send-off Lacrosse Night!
 
As you may or may not know, this year the YAC Boys Lax Program kicked off the inaugural Yorktown HS Player Give-back Program where each YHS Boys Varsity Lax Player was assigned to help coach a YAC Boys Lax team.
 
The philosophy of the YHS Player-Give Back program was simply this:
 
As you may already know Charlie Murphy along with YHS Coach Jim Turnbull founded the Yorktown Boys Lacrosse Program back in the 1960’s. Obviously, over the past 40+ years the Yorktown Lacrosse Program was successful for many reasons. However, if you didn’t know, one of the early foundations of the program was for the YHS alumni and college players to come back to Yorktown and Mr. Murph’s house where they would play lacrosse and coach the underclassman HS players. This simple philosophy became a mainstay of the YHS Boys Lax Program and the history and fond memories of these older players working with the younger players is well documented and will live forever in the memories of the players and the history or the Yorktown Boys Lacrosse Program.
 
During the past few years we have worked hard to establish the YAC Boys Lax program so that each age group can accommodate 60 youth players. In so doing, we have established three separate teams in each division so that our youth players can play as much lacrosse as possible. Obviously in an ever-changing environment this has not been an easy task and each year promises to be a challenge at best.  
 
Along the way, we have tried to incorporate several new traditions within the YAC Boys Lax program that have taken on a life of its own. The Murphy Tournament, the Matt Kulll Alumni Game, and the pre-season Victory Lacrosse Clinics are just a few of them.
 
Prior to the 2009 season, it occurred to us that the current YHS Players never knew Mr. Murphy and neither did our sons currently in the YAC program. Although they each recognize and respect the history of Yorktown Lacrosse, there was a disconnect between the basic philosophy of the older YHS players getting to know and coach the younger YAC players. So this year we established the YHS Player Give-back Program with the intention of providing an ongoing opportunity for the HS players to connect with our YAC youth players. Although it was not perfect, we felt the first year was successful in that the program was established and we can now built upon it.
 
Which brings us to the final event of the 2009 YAC Boys Lacrosse season.
 
Next Tuesday, July 7th (see the attached flyer for details) starting at 5:45pm we will have the inaugural YAC Senior Send-off Lacrosse Night. We are inviting all players from the YAC 2009 Senior Division (7th & 8th graders) to come out and play pick-up lacrosse games (no set teams, players will be comingled) for about an hour or so followed by a pizza party.  We are also inviting the YHS varsity lax players to join us and we will honor the graduating YHS Seniors who helped us coach this year and over the years, as well as the YHS coaches and alumni.
 
To help keep things organized we ask that you please respond to your 2009 Coach with a yes or no as to whether or not you will be able to attend: We also need to get a head count to order pizza, etc.  
 
Here are the 7/8th Grade Coaches & Contacts: Please email them no later than Thursday, July 2nd. Coaches can you provide Mike Nolan with a head count yac4kids@optonline.net on Friday.
 
Black Team: Alex Besterman: abesterman@carlsonwagonlit.com
White Team: Tom Gonzalez:   tjg84@optonline.net
Green Team: Lisa Graham:  Gljrea05@aol.com    
 
We ask that if you plan on attending that you bring some water or Gatorade and we will throw it into a bucket of ice. If you want you can bring some cut-up watermelon, just please let your coach know. The YAC Boys Lax will provide pizza and other desert.
 
Thanks again for a great season and we hope to see you on Tuesday.
