WKMLA Box Lacrosse Program Development Funding Announcement - Novice Coaches and Tykes Players Urgently Needed

West Kootenay Minor Lacrosse Association (WKMLA) is pleased to announce that our player registration numbers allow us to offer a stand-alone Tykes and Mini Tykes box lacrosse program for the 2015 season.  In the past, Tykes and Mini-Tykes players (5-8 years old) have had to practice and play with our Novice players (9-10 years old) due to low registration numbers.

To ensure that our new program is successful, we are in urgent need of the following:

·        A Head Coach and Assistant Coach for the Novice team. No prior lacrosse coaching experience is required: we provide training and mentoring.

·        An Assistant Coach for the Tykes and Mini-Tykes team.

·        Additional players for the Tykes and Mini-Tykes team. Currently, this team only has 7 players registered and we would like to see that number double. The player registration deadline is April 15.

·        For practice schedule and locations, visit wkmla.com. The Novice team will practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7pm in Castlegar. The Tykes and Mini-Tykes team is currently scheduled to practice at the same time/location as Novice but we are looking at the feasibility of moving practice up to 5:30.

Start-up funds are in place: the new Tykes and Mini-Tyke team teams will be outfitted with new jerseys, goaltender equipment, and practice supplies. WKMLA would like to thank the Province of British Columbia and ViaSport for their support of this project.

If you are interested in coaching, phone or text Chris Bowman, WKMLA Coaching Coordinator, at 250-364-8405. To learn more about box lacrosse, drop by one of our practices. League registration is open until April 15 – contact wkmla@hotmail.com for more information.
