Coaches looking to build lacrosse program
Are
you looking for an exciting new spring sport?
Coaches John Niewieroski and Brandon Glaza are
looking to start a new lacrosse team in Bonners
Ferry for boys in grades four through eight.We have had a high school varsity team for the past eight seasons and are trying to start a new program for younger players in order to build the sport. Ideally, we will get enough players to have a 4-5th grade team and a 6-7th grade team. So far we have a handful of interested players but will need a roster of at least 15 on each in order to have successful teams!
The lacrosse season will begin soon and will last until early June. We are currently planning two practices per week, probably Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m. Exact times will need to be worked out as the teams materialize.
Costs will likely be $50 to $100 (depending on size of team) in order to play, which includes a lacrosse stick and membership to U.S. Lacrosse.
Talk to the coaches about opportunities for work details and fundraisers to offset the pay-to-play fees. All other necessary equipment such as helmets, pads and gloves will be provided, thanks to a U.S. Lacrosse grant awarded to Coach Niewieroski.
If you are interested please attend our next meeting for parents and players at 6 p.m. Wednesday March 26, at the Bonners Ferry Visitor Center.
If you can't make the meeting or have any questions please call Coach Niewieroski at (208) 267-2778 or Coach Glaza at (208) 596-1993. We are looking forward to a successful season!
