The Black Knights Lacrosse Club and the Hempfield Girls Lacrosse Club invite members of the public to pick up their golf clubs for the second annual Hempfield Boys/Girls Lacrosse Clubs Golf Tournament on Sunday, Sept. 23, at Four Seasons Golf Course, 949 Church St., Landisville. The proceeds will be evenly divided between the athletic organizations, both of which offer competitive lacrosse for students in kindergarten through eighth grade. “Any kid in Lancaster County can join,” said Christine Rhoads, who serves as the fundraising chair for both clubs. She noted that while the members are predominantly residents of Hempfield School District, recent team members have hailed from Donegal School
District and the School District of Lancaster, as well as Saint Leo the Great Catholic School. The main season runs from March through May, with the fall season dedicated to clinics that are open to any elementary or middle school student interested in the sport. “They’re a nice way for the kids to try it out,” Rhoads commented. “It’s complementary to soccer and football for the boys and soccer and field hockey for the girls,” she added. Approximately 200 student-athletes are involved in the two clubs, and many go on to play on the Hempfield High School lacrosse teams. The clubs strive to inspire students’ interest in lacrosse and to develop players’ skills so they are competitive at the advanced level. One of the features of the Hempfield lacrosse clubs is the access to See Lacrosse Clubs pg 7
