Welcome...

The 2012 season has begun. . .

TRY
LAX
stands for Tantasqua Regional Youth Lacrosse. 
TRYLAX  is an instructional lacrosse league based in Brimfield, Massachusetts. 

TRYLAX
 membership is composed of students and parents from the five regional area towns of Brimfield, Brookfield, Holland, Sturbridge and Wales.  We currently are in the "West Central Region" of the MBYLL (Massachusetts Bay Youth Lacrosse League).  Our games are generally on Sundays, begin in April and end in June (Aprill 11th - June 6th).  We usually attend at least one Jamboree in June (which is loads of fun) and try to attend as many tournaments as possible throughout the season.  Practices are generally once or twice per week plus clinics throughout the year. 

As we are an instructional league, we do not have A and B teams.  We follow the MBYLL way and divide our teams as evenly as possible based on age, skill and experience.  Our goal is to grow and promote the game of lacrosse by teaching the fundamental skills, teamwork and sportsmanship necessary to play the game of lacrosse, in a safe and fun-filled environment. 

The TRYLAX program currently has teams ranging from U11 to U15 (grades 3-8).  The U11 teams are grades (3-4), the U13 teams are grades (5-6), the U15 teams are grades (7-8) and the junior/senior girls teams (our third year) grades (4-5) and grades (7-8).  Welcome girls!  Younger girls may also participate on the boys U11 teams.

ALL players must be a current member of US Lacrosse to participate in the program.  NO Exceptions!!  This is how we obtain our insurance.

History...

TRYLAX was founded in 2005 by Patti Bamberger.  Patti's children both had a passion for lacrosse and were forced to play in Worcester or Holden as there was nothing for them in the area.  With the help of Chris Widelo (
XCEL Lacrosse) and a little passion and determination from Patti, TRYLAX was born!  This eventually lead to a club team at Tantasqua Regional High School and then transitioned into the Varsity and JV lacrosse programs at the High School today.

TRYLAX started with one U15 team, which Patti and her husband Rich coached.  There was also one U13 team coached by Keith Turley.  

Today TRYLAX has over 160 players, Eight boys teams, two girls team (our third year), a staff of dedicated coaches (thanks guys!) and a great group of parents supporting us!

Parents...

Lacrosse is a contact sport.  At the U11 level there are no body checks of any kind allowed.  At the U13 and U15 levels there is some contact, but no "take-out checks" (meaning an intent to knock the player to the ground) are allowed.  Research has found both men’s and women’s lacrosse to be relatively safe compared to other commonly played team sports. Most injuries are minor strains, sprains and contusions. For more lacrosse safety information check out the US Lacrosse site.  If you're new to lacrosse and would like some more information about lacrosse, US Lacrosse has a nice Parent's Guide that is worth looking at.

TRYLAX is nothing without your support.  We have one of the lowest registration fees in the area.  Our registration fee is about half of what other programs charge.  We are trying to keep our fees the same but with the new rules this year and rising costs, this is very difficult.  That's where you come in.  We need volunteers to keep this program going.  Whether its people to man the snack shack on game days, food donations, coaches or fundraising...WE NEED YOU!  Please, if you can, get involved and help out where ever you can. 


Stay Tuned! This website is constantly changing and evolving, if you have any suggestions, comments or questions feel free to contact Patti@trylax.com

Schedule Corrections
There were a couple of errors on the google calendar schedule vs the MBYLL schedule page. 

I have made some changes to the google calendar so they should now be in sync.   As always, the MBYLL schedule is the "official" schedule.  The other is just provided for convenience.  If you happen to notice any errors on the schedule, let me know and I will make sure to correct it.

Schedule Updates
Recently, I found out that the Sportsmanager page will no longer be used for scheduling.  We are now using the MBYLL page.  I have updated the schedule page with the proper link now.  The link will now take you to the MBYLL master schedule.  I hope this didn't cause any confusion. 

I also put a link on each team page to their individual schedules.  Just look in the team notes and click on "Game Schedule".  It will bring you to the MBYLL site for your team's schedule.

Also note that the games labeled North Central (they aren't until may) are really for Gardner, so they will be played in Gardner.  I have updated the google calendar with the appropriate directions to the Gardner High School.

I currently dont have an official schedule for the girl's team yet so please keep in contact with your coach for game information.  I don't have anything at this time.  As soon as I get the schedule I will post it.

Web Page Updated
Welcome to the newly updated TRYLAX website.  All the team information should now be updated as teams have been chosen.  You should find your practice schedule and coach contact information on your team page.

The schedule with directions can be found on the schedule page.  Look at the google calendar and click on the game.  Look for a "details" link and that will bring up the details of the calendar entry.  I tried to put in an address as well as a web link for each game that leads to the opposing teams web page or google map for directions.  Some of the teams still have not provided directions or web page links.  When I get them I will update the calendar.

We are also now on FACEBOOK!!  Come check us out and become a fan.  My intent is to use facebook for last minute changes as many people now have mobile access and can get updates easily on the newer generation of mobile phones available today.  Its also a great place to discuss things about the program, bring up suggestions, post photos, sell equipment, etc.  Make sure you sign up for facebook and become a fan...

I have also updated the photo/video gallery and will be adding to it as the year goes on.

If there is anything you really want to see on the website and dont, please let me know.  You can use facebook or send me an email webmaster@trylax.com .
