Boy Lacrosse Registration for the Spring ‘20 season is open!!

Registration is for boys in grades 1 – 8. Whether your child is a returning player or is a new to the game, Newton Youth Lacrosse is looking forward to seeing familiar faces and new ones for the upcoming season. More details available on https://www.leagueathletics.com/Default.asp?org=newtonyouthlacrosse.com

Why register so early? Yes, it’s early to be planning for the spring. However, the league is required by the Mass Bay Youth Lacrosse League to enter teams in mid-January.

Do you want to introduce your kids to cross-country skiing and give them the opportunity to ski with other kids their age? Eastern Mass Bill Koch (EMBK) Club is a Boston-area club dedicated to introducing kids to the joys of cross-country skiing and racing. The club is open to children ages 7-13, absolute beginners to experienced competitive skiers.

Kids train at the DCR’s Leo J. Martin Ski Track in Newton Lower Falls from early December until the last snow melts. The facility makes its own snow. Everyone skis Saturday mornings, with some skiing Wednesday and/or Thursday evenings depending on their age/experience.
