CYLA Hosts Successful ChargeUp Spring Tournament

Posted

Chesapeake Youth Lacrosse Association began its spring lacrosse season on March 17 with the 19th Annual ChargeUp Lacrosse Tournament at the Lake Shore Athletic Complex.

Always a great draw for area teams, the tournament was once again a huge success. Over 575 players on 35 youth lacrosse teams from 12 different organizations participated in the tournament, playing 55 total games in rapid-fire, 20-minute sets.

“We want to thank all who came out to play, coach, volunteer, sponsor and organize this event,” said CYLA President Lois Warner. “We have an amazing group of volunteers who make everything run smoothly. I would like to personally thank our ChargeUp Committee Co-Chairs, Bob Widmer and Wendy Warner.

The CYLA Board is made up of parents and volunteers Lois Warner (President and coach), Jon Pisano (Vice President and coach), Maria Jackson (Secretary/Treasurer), Sara Gannon (Girls Commissioner and coach), Bryan Fulton (Boys Commissioner and coach), Amanda Makarovich (uniforms and coach), Wendy Warner (field permitting) and Bob Widmer (equipment).

“This team works so well together and will do whatever it takes to make our tournament and our recreational lacrosse program a success,” said Warner. “We received many compliments throughout the day from coaches, players, parents and officials. Everyone seemed to have a good time and the girls played some great lacrosse!”
