The 2007 edition of the Seminole Lacrosse League is set to kick off on June 11th at Darden Towe Park with the League’s annual clinic for boys, and run with a full season of games for boys and girls, finishing July 21st. The Seminole Lacrosse League is an organization dedicated to the promotion and development of the great game of lacrosse in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area. Seminole’s goal is to give the youngsters of our area the opportunity to play and experience lacrosse, thus helping the game grow at the high school level.

Players who began their lacrosse experience in the Seminole League have reached some of the highest levels of the game. Willie Quayle, who earned a National Championship ring at the University of Virginia and Devon Britts, who plays in the MLL for the Los Angeles Riptide, are both Seminole Alumni.
