posted 5/14/2013 by MLAX Board
Due to numerous conflicts our Youth picture date has been rescheduled for June 13th. A schedule of times for each team will be sent out at a later date.
We will also be taking an Inaugural Shot that will include the whole MLAX family (Youth and HS players and coaches). We will be taking the picture in between the Girls and Boys High School game on May 22nd with a rain date of the 23rd. All, players, coaches and board memebers should be at the MHS Turf Field no later than 5pm. The picture will take place around 5:15 as soon as the game is over. This picture will go down in history.
The boys games is at 4 and the girls at 6, if you wish to come out and cheer on the HS teams!!!
Beckwith Family BEnefit
posted 5/8/2013 by MLAX Board
Many of you by now know that a member of our MLAX family has recently been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Sydney Beckwith is a wonderful, bright, funny, caring, beautiful 12 year old young lady going though a very difficult time in her life. She is part of our lacrosse family!!!
When MLAX was formed a major principal that we wanted to make sure we instilled in every aspect of the organization was to make sure that these kids developed a sense of the community they were a part of. The sport of Lacrosse ties us all together. Well a member of our community needs us right now!
A benefit baseball game has been set up to help Sydney and her family. The game is scheduled for June 23rd at Dodd Stadium. Half of all ticket sales will go to the Beckwith Family. I have attached the flyer with more information under the documents tab on the website. If anyone is interested in purchasing tickets please contact me.
Let's show Montville that when called upon MLAX sticks together as a family to support one another!!
Please keep Sydney, Jeff, Mary and Brooke in your prayers!

MLAX Game Day Reminders
posted 4/20/2013 by Todd Frechette
Gametime: Warm ups start 30 minutes before your game time. The whistle will blow to start the game at its scheduled time. We need to be ready. (Parents: note that the schedule is a little flexible. The game could start later if the games throughout the day run over time).
Things to remember:
- Water bottle
- Athletic supporter for boys!
- All equipment including mouthguard
Spectators: Spectators MUST sit on the opposite side line from the team bench, and NO SITTING on the end lines. Refs and coaches will ask you to move if you sit there. This is for safety reasons when balls start flying.
MLAX Schedule: Games run all week. And on the weekends, games will typically run all day. Check the master schedule and come cheer on all MLAX teams when you can!
Importance of committing to games: Please remember that lacrosse is "The Fastest Game On Two Feet". And that means the players get TIRED! We can't stress enough how important it is for our entire team to commit to games to ensure we have enough substitutions to keep ourselves fresh throughout the game and remain competitive!
Play your hearts out and have fun doing it! Respect, respect, respect: Respect the GAME, the Officials, the Coaches, the other Team, and your Teammates And most importantly...have fun. This is about learning a new sport and playing so hard your lungs hurt! Leave it all on the field. You are part of something special...enjoy it!
