11th Annual Lax4Life
Lax4Life is a tournament that includes boys and girls teams from all over the state. Our teams are already registered and there is no charge to you. Each age group will play 3 games. There will be T-Shirt sales, a Toy Drive for Phoenix Children's, concessions and other activities. All proceeds benefit childhood leukemia.
Saturday 12/8 all day at Tempe Sports Complex. Game times will be distributed when we receive them.
City of Chandler Survey
Some of our challenges specifically with City fields:
- According to standards set by the National Recreation and Parks Association of one field per 10K population, the East Valley has a deficit of 50+ fields.
- Some lighting, parking, and fields are being added, but not nearly enough to support the huge growth.
- Practice fields can only be reserved one day at a time, one week in advance. If a CYSA member already has it booked, or someone gets the phone call in before we do every day, we're out of luck. There are a couple 'first come-first served' fields, but It's logistically impossible to move 100 kids at the last minute.
- Game fields can be reserved, but we cannot line them for lacrosse, so this is not an option for us. Other sports are allowed to line fields.
- Becoming a member of CYSA (Chandler Youth Sports Association) would give us a higher priority at a much lower cost. The stringent requirements and bureaucratic hurdles have prevented that for us so far.
