Event Spotlight: Girls Lacrosse Playday

On May 21^st the Haverford Township Recreation Department hosted the 2011 Girls Lacrosse Play Day at the Haverford Reserve.  Over 500 Haverford Residents and Girls from neighboring communities participated in the event.  In between games the Girls and their family had an opportunity to listen to music, grab some food, or browse apparel and equipment being sold by the vendors.

The Play Day marks the end of the Haverford Township Girls Lacrosse League.  The league has three different age brackets: 3^rd-4^th grade, 5^th-6^th grade, and 7^th-8^th grade. The 3^rd-4^th program is entirely intramurals and the 5^th-6^th and 7^th-8^th league.  The goal of the Township Lacrosse program was to introduce the basics to young players with a focus on them enjoying the game.

The Play Day raised over 2000 dollars for Alex’s Lemonade Stand.  Thank you to all of the coaches and volunteers who made the 2011 Girls Lacrosse Play Day and League a great success.
