The Boys Middle School League and the Seminole Lacrosse League have been folded into a new umbrella organization under the Charlottesville Chapter of USLacrosse. For more information, visit http://seminolelax.org/.

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.

The first session of the ACAC Indoor Lacrosse League wraps up Sunday in the Adventure Central Arena on Sunday, October 26th. The JV league takes the court first; the fist semifinal game between Team 3 and Team 2 begins at noon. At 12:50pm, Team 1 takes on Team 4 in the second semifinal. The winners face off for the final game at 1:30.

In the Varsity League, the semifinal game kicks off at 3:00pm, with a showdown between Team 3 and Team 1. Play resumes at 3:50pm with a match between Team 2 and Team 4. The league finals begin at 4:30.

The ACAC Indoor Lacrosse League is off to a great start, with nearly 100 middle school and high school players playing weekly at ACAC’s Indoor Adventure Central facility. This indoor experience is designed to improve stick work, foot work, game knowledge, and pre-season conditioning. The quality of play is very good and the players have proved to be very enthusiastic about playing indoor lacrosse.

On Sundays there are four JV-level (9th and 10th grade) teams competing at 12:00 noon and 12:50. Later, at 3:00 and 3:50, 11th and 12th grade players take the court with 4 teams in a Varsity-level league.

In addition to the high school leagues, ACAC offers Indoor Lacrosse to 5th and 6th grade players on Monday evenings and 7th and 8th graders on Tuesday evenings.

All of the Leagues are still open for enrollment, the first session ends in 5 weeks. Sign ups for the 2nd session is ongoing. The 2nd session starts the week of November 9 and will finish before Christmas. Session 3 will take place in January / February.
