The Liverpool Youth Lacrosse Association (LYLA) is starting a used equipment donation program to help ease the financial stress many families are feeling during these tough economic times. The league is asking that anyone with used boys or girls lacrosse equipment – which many times can run approximately $200 per child when purchased new – donate it to LYLA so children interested in playing the sport can do so without a big investment.
“Children are in to so many sports these days that it is difficult for parents to make a big equipment investment up front when the child may change their mind and play another sport the next season,” said Earl Hall, president of LYLA. “Our goal is to get as many kids as possible interested in and loving lacrosse and this donation program will enable many kids to play with the right equipment and be safe without a big investment from the start.”
Currently, LYLA is set to host its largest season ever with nearly 300 boys and girls from grades Kindergarten through 8th grade registered.
LYLA is looking for men’s or women’s lacrosse sticks, helmets, gloves, arm pads, shoulder pads, women’s goggles, goals and lacrosse balls.
Anyone interested in donating equipment can call Jeff Salanger at 481-2570 or email at jsalanger25@gmail.com. Arrangements can be made to have your donation picked up.
