Westfield Youth Lacrosse is a volunteer run, non-profit organization that continues to advance its mission of providing the opportunity for the youth of our community to learn the great game of lacrosse, while instilling and fostering discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork, collaboration and community involvement. We have a long, and mutually beneficial, relationship with Stanley Park, who supports our program by graciously opening their beautiful park to our program year after year.
The Westfield News will post game notes and scores this season, and we truly appreciate the support and recognition of this up and coming popular sport.
So read about the athletes, come see a game, and get to know why Lacrosse is the “Fastest Game on Two Feet!” – Westfield Youth Lacrosse President Alan Blair
