The Charlottesville Boys Middle School Lacrosse league was featured on the Newsplex as a growing sport attracting the attention of many kids. The piece focused on the increased number of participants at the lower levels and the increase in the team numbers in the league. Very cool. The video also shows plenty of highlights of kids playing from this past Sunday and a sound bite from the man making it happen, Jim Loffredo. See the video below:

Also featured on the Plex were some highlights from the STAB Girl’s battle with Episcopal.

NBC-29 ran highlights of the Albemarle Boy’s win over Brooke Point (Skip ahead past the baseball highlights):

NBC-29 is also running a preview of the UVA Men’s matchup with Duke tomorrow in Durham:

“The Boys Middle School Lacrosse League (BMSLL), a 501(c)3 organization, was established in 1995 by a group of parents who wanted their middle school-aged sons to have the opportunity to play safe, fun, and competitive lacrosse in the Charlottesville area. Since inception, the league has nearly tripled in size but continues with its original core mission.

The mission of the Boyâ??s Middle School Lacrosse League is to teach the fundamental skills and sportsmanship necessary to play safe and competitive lacrosse to boys in the 5th through 8th grades in Albemarle, Charlottesville, and the surrounding areas.”

“As a product of the system, I can tell you: IT WORKS.” – Jack Murray
