Bethesda Lacrosse Launches Girls Programs!
by posted 06/30/2009
 

Great news lacrosse fans! Bethesda Lacrosse will launch a Girls Lacrosse League and Scoopers program this fall! These programs are available for players who are new to the game and girls with previous lacrosse experience. Scoopers will learn the fundamentals of the game in a fun filled environment (stick provided with registration).

The
Instructional Clinic ,which was launched this spring, will be offered again this fall. Clinic players will learn the fundamentals of girls lacrosse through play, progressing to field positions and scrimmages at the end of practice.

The Instructional Clinic and Teams will be staffed by a post collegiate player. Volunteers and high school assistants will round out the staff.


The first 50 girls to register will receive an Under Armour "Bethesda Lacrosse" t-shirt (delivered during the fall season)

If you are interested in coaching a girls team or clinic, please contact Sandy DeCain at   or   .

Spring 2009 Travel Season Wrap-up-Congratulations!!
by posted 06/26/2009
 
Hi Parents,

 

What a great season for our select travel teams and what a difference a year can

make!  Due to all the great help from our many volunteer team parents, you have

allowed Bethesda to extend our traditional spring season to a full year

offering of programs for our boys.  This season, we held earlier tryouts which

allowed our travel players to participate as a team in a 12 week "Advanced

Skills Development Winter Program" prior to the spring season. 

 

The extra development helped our boys have great spring seasons at all age

levels (summary below), playing over 30 games on average this spring.  In

addition, many of our select travel players have continued on with our new

summer select teams, the Bethesda Lacrosse Bulldogs, who just finished their

first tournament this past weekend.  Please continue to check our website for

coming Fall Program & Tryout details at . www.bethesdalacrosse.org

 

Here's a quick recap of the season:

 

BETHESDA U15-A:

Bethesda Lacrosse's U15-A (Juniors) team had a great season.  The team finished

the season with an overall 25-6-1 record playing the toughest competition in the

Mid Atlantic region. They focused on player development---both at the individual level and as a team starting last fall.  During the winter they sharpened their skills in our winter development and training practices.  Outdoor practices started in January and

continued 3 times a week through the spring.  During the spring outdoor season,

they participated in both spring tournaments and the Bethesda League.  The

tournament schedule included six tournaments wrapping up with Baltimore's

Lax Splash Tournament and Ocean City's Beach Lax Tournament.  The team had

successful off-field team-building highlights as well and an end of the season

party which was a huge hit with the kids and parents. The kids came together as

a team on the field and off providing a rewarding experience that they won't

soon forget.  Thanks to Coach Lee Stillwell & Eric Russell for their coaching

dedication to the boys this year!

 

BETHESDA U15-B:

Bethesda Lacrosse's U15-B (Juniors) team put together their first season ever

and gave our boys a chance to play with other skilled players.  While there

aren't that many full-roster B teams at the Junior levels, they held their own

against many of the area's best teams, including winning all 4 games at the

Cherry Blossom tournament.  The players will be well prepared to position

themselves for playing for the U15-A team next season!  Thanks to Coach Eden &

John Wilkinson for their tireless efforts.

 

BETHESDA U13-A:

Perhaps our biggest crown jewel this year was our U13-A (Midget) team. They finished

this year with an outstanding record of 23 wins, 4 losses and one tie and were

truly one of the top AA teams in MD.

 

The highlight of the season was winning the Championship in the “A” division of

the 2009 Beach Lax Festival Tournament.  Bethesda won over great competitors

including Next Level, Bel Air, Geronimo, and a final victory over Club Blue in

the championship game.  

 

 Another milestone for Bethesda U13A team was making it to the Championship game

of the “A” division of Lax Splash 2009. Bethesda beat tough Baltimore teams -

Bel Air, Kelly Post, Fallston in the initial bracket and a win over Club Blue in

the semi-finals.  They ran into a very talented AA Cobra team in the finals and

lost a nail-biter after it was 6-6 with a minute to go.  Cobra's AA team

accounted for two of the four losses all year, but what a great runner-up effort

by the boys.

 

The boys also beat the two finalists that played in the Baltimore MYLA Division

A championship rounding out the best season ever and finishing one of the best

teams in MD.  Most importantly, the boys had a great time!  Congratulations to

Coach Marc Dubick and Doug Firstenberg and the entire Bethesda U13A team for a

fantastic season!

 

BETHESDA U13-B:

The U13-B (Midget) team finished with a record of 20-11-1 winning 2/3rd's of their 32

games and playing many of the best competitors in MD.  In both of the year's final

tournaments (Lax Splash & Beach Lax), the boys played strong, but missed winning

in their groupings by a single goal in each tournament.  The U13-A and U13-B

practiced together and had some supplemental coaching from some of the area's

Major League Lacrosse players throughout the year.  From the winter development

to the final Ocean City tournament and year-end party, it was a great season of

development and good times!  Thanks Coach Andrew Hosker and Doug Gansler for

leading this team's success.

 

BETHESDA U11-A:

Bethesda's U11 (Lightning) team also had a fantastic season.  The team finished

the season with an 18-6 record playing some of the toughest competition in the

Baltimore/DC region.  Our program focused on player development---both at the

individual level and as a team. During the winter, our team played in a winter

indoor recreational league where the boys sharpened their skills in a fun and

exciting format.  During the spring outdoor season, they participated in both

the Bethesda League, as well as, the Baltimore area’s Harco County League.  Our

tournament schedule included Baltimore's Lax Splash Tournament and Ocean City's

Beach Lax Tournament.  We demonstrated our commitment to player development by

supplementing our regular practices throughout the season with skills training

by some of today's Major League Lacrosse star players.  These sessions were a huge hit with the boys.  Successful off-field team building highlights included a spring bowling

party and an end of season banquet.   Way to go, Coach Cliff Gross & Dan Tate!

 

BETHESDA U9-A:

The Bethesda U-9 Tykers had an outstanding season finishing with a record of

10-3 and won the Championship title in the 2009 Lax Splash Tournament in Baltimore by

defeating Hereford 9-8 in an exciting overtime game. They also participated in

the Beach Lax tournament in Ocean City.   The team improved immensely over the

course of the season as the boys were challenged to broaden their skills. In

addition to developing fundamentals, they implemented set clears and rides,

multiple defenses, and offenses. Practices were fast paced as the coaches asked

the kids to focus on becoming students of the game. Looking to the future, there

is a strong nucleus of returning players to continue the Bethesda Tyker

tradition.  Thanks for head coach, Dave Zolet, and his team of coaches, Eric

Russell, Tom Morris, and Al Jenkins!

 

Again, thanks so much to every parent out there and, of course all the volunteers,

without your efforts none of these great experiences for these boys would ever be possible.  Have a great summer and we'll be in touch soon.
