On Saturday April 2nd the UVA men’s lacrosse team will play Maryland at 12:00pm in beautiful Scott Stadium. This will be an amazing day for college lacrosse. The game will be played before the UVA Football team’s spring game.

Before this game the Charlottesville Chapter of US Lacrosse, in conjunction with ACAC and the UVA Bookstore will hold a free shooting clinic. Ben Rubeor, a UVA lacrosse alumni, along with his friends from the 2006 National Championship team, will host this free shooting clinic. The clinic will be geared toward elementary and middle school players, but all are welcome to attend. There will be contests and raffle prizes during the event which runs from 10:00 am to 11:00 am with an autograph session to follow.

The clinic will be held at the O-Hill field located at the corner of Alderman Rd and McCormick Rd (diagonally across from the AFC).

More information on this clinic can be found here.

We hope you all can get out and enjoy what we hope will be a wonderful day of lacrosse. This should be a spectacular event that combines the interests of the entire UVA sports community with a big men’s lacrosse ACC matchup followed by Coach Mike London leading his players in their annual Blue Orange Spring Game. Hope to see you there!

The BMSLL spring season starts next month. As a warm up for players, ACAC Sports is offering two middle school “preseason” indoor leagues in January and February 2010.

The 5th & 6th Grade Indoor League will run Tuesdays for 6 weeks, from January 12 to February 16. Games will be played from 6:30 – 8:15pm. The level of play is intermediate to advanced with an emphasis on stick work, team work and conditioning. This is an excellent way for players to get ready for the spring season. There will be a maximum of 25 players in this group. Each evening the players will be placed on 5 man teams.

The 7th & 8th Grade Indoor League will run Thursday evenings from January 14 to February 18. ACAC has reserved 3 hours of time for this group. The current session has 35 players making up 4 teams with two game times. The January/February session will have room for 6 teams and 3 slots for game: 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30. There is a maximum of 10 players per team (league limit 60 players). Parents, please let ACAC know your car pool requests in advance. If only 4 teams fill up, the game times will be 6:30 and 7:30.

The cost of the Leagues is $105 for ACAC Full Facility members, $115 for ACAC members, and $125 for non-members. To register, or for more information, contact Dawn at 434.978.7529.

The ACAC Arena, on Four Seasons Drive, is home to the only indoor arena in Central Virginia capable of fully enclosed indoor play, which enhances stick skills, reflexes, and provides an environment conducive to learning and conditioning during the off season.

Due to the Charlottesville Marathon, the St. Anne’s-Belfield Lower School campus will be inaccessible Saturday morning, April 18th.

Therefore, ACAC is relocating the U9 Tryouts to the CHARLOTTESVILLE CATHOLIC SCHOOL from 9:00 – 10:00. CCS is located at 1205 Penn Park Road, off of Rio Rd. Follow school drive to back of building.

Participants should arrive at least 15 minutes early to complete the Registration Form and come with all equipment. Additionally, participants should bring a 2 color reversible jersey or pinney.

ACAC Sports announces that they will join Bob Mattie and CAYLC in the management of the Nolan Jenkins Memorial Lacrosse Tournament. This year marks the 3rd annual tournament that brings our local middle school teams together with teams from out of town for a weekend of early season lacrosse.

The games will be held the weekend of March 13-15.

The games are held at 5 locations: The Park, Carr’s Hill Field, and the U-Hall Turf Fields at the University of Virginia, St. Anne’s Belfield School, and Albemarle High School.

The Tournament plans to have 30 teams playing games during 4 different time blocks: Friday, 6:00 – 9:00pm, Saturday, 8:00am – 1:00pm & 3:30pm – 8:00PM, and Sunday 8:00am – 1:00pm.

Saturday afternoon’s break in the action will allow players, coaches, and fans attend the game between the #1 ranked University of Virginia men’s lacrosse team and Towson. That game will be played at Klockner Stadium at 1:00pm.

Volunteers Neeeded

Running a tournament like the Nolan Jenkins Tournament takes a lot of organization and volunteers. ACAC Sports and the Tournament Team is asking the Charlottesville Lacrosse Community to step up and help out during the Tournament weekend. Volunteers are key to making this tournament a success.

Volunteer duties include t-shirt sales, selling advertising for the program, concessions, delivering team packets, and the very important role of Field Marshall. Any role that you can provide would be appreciated.

ACAC Sports and the Tournament Team will be holding a VOLUNTEER Meeting Saturday morning, Feb 28, 11:00AM, at the UVa Sports Promotions office in the South end of Scott Stadium. The office is down the hall to the right of the UVa ticket sales. If you cannot make the meeting but would like to volunteer, please contact Al Sadtler (434.242.6583. als@acac.com) to let him know of your availability.
