The Peters Township Boys Youth Lacrosse Association will conduct its first ever
Under-9 Lacrosse Developmental Program starting in mid-April.

And organizers said that registration for the program is now open, and parents may sign up their 6, 7 and 8-year olds to learn the game of lacrosse in an "instructional and friendly environment."

The Peters Township Boys Youth Lacrosse Association is known in Western Pennsylvania for its exceptional coaching—staffed with Division I college players who understand what it takes to play at the college level.

Coaches will teach the basics to the youngsters and introduce them to skills such as passing and catching, as well as the rules of playing the growing sport.

The staff will divide players into teams and have them play head-to-head in a game environment. And, depending upon participation levels, players may even play against other regional U9 lacrosse teams.

Parents who are interested in having their children participate are reminded that a mandatory meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday at the Peters Township Community Recreational Center.

Parents are reminded that space is limited.
