Ian Ross (age 14) is organizing a middle school Lacrosse Tournament to benefit the NEGU Foundation.

If you or your player would be interested in playing talk to your coach or contact us and we will see if RBY LAX can get a team together.

Details below.

DATE: Saturday, May 19th 11:30 – 6:00

PLACE: Maranatha High School (169 South Saint John Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91105) Football Field

OVERVIEW: 5 middle school Lacrosse teams each will play 2 games and put 8 players into an all star game. So far we have 2 teams committed and a waiting to hear from a 3rd .

Briefly, NEGU stands for Never Ever Give Up.

12-year old, Jessie Joy Reese started the NEGU Foundation while she was undergoing Chemotherapy for brain cancer. She vowed that she would never give up and that she would encourage other children battling cancer. She created the Joy Jar, filled with toys and hope. It was her dream to give every child battling cancer a Joy Jar and encourage them to Never Ever Give Up.

Jessie died in January of this year but her message and dream lives on.

We are actively looking for teams who would like to play in the tournament as well as Referees who may donate their time. We would greatly appreciate any help you can give us to make this event a success.

We thought this would be important to all, there has been a Lacrosse Helmets Recalled by Easton Sports Due to Facial Injury Hazard. You can get all the details at Consumer Product Safety Commission web site news release on the subject.

South Swell is once again supporting local Lacrosse with a great new program they are calling “Team Partners Program”.

We are excited to announce RB Youth Lacrosse is going to implement a new program for all levels of youth lacrosse; Boys & Girls – 1st thru 8th grade.

Much like a Merit Badge the Bang the Wall Club will continue to promote BANGING the WALL. And measure and reward those players that are really doing it.

All coaches will be promoting the Bang the Wall Program to their respective teams. Players that demonstrate to a Coach or Coaches DESIGNEE (not the parent of the player) that they can catch the ball 30 x RIGHT and 30 x LEFT, will be rewarded with a 30/30 sticker.

50 x Right & 50 x Left will get the 50 / 50 sticker

100 x Right & 100 x Left will get the SHINY SILVER 100 / 100 sticker + they will get a Royal Blue t-Shirt that states they are member of the RB Lacrosse 100 / 100 Club. "I BANG the WALL!”

The stickers will be placed on the back right of the helmet. One will go on top of the other. Girls can consider putting them on the STX Shaft.

Award criteria will be posted soon, please let your coach know that you are interested in joining the Bang the Wall Club!

To review the basics here is a great video to show proper way to bang the wall

We also suggest all parents read the article “WHY LACROSSE PARENTS SHOULD PLAY WALL BALL” on the Lacrosse All Stars web site.
