Lacrosse

event in PTC this weekend

The Peachtree

City Lacrosse Association will hold the first Box Lacrosse Jamboree tomorrow

from 12-5 p.m. at the Kedron Multi-Purpose Rink on Kedron Drive North

in Peachtree City. The event will feature several games between youth

U14, U12, and high school teams from Tucker and Peachtree City, and two

adult teams from Alpharetta will hold an exhibition game between the youth

and high school games.

In honor of

the event, Peachtree City Mayor Steve Brown has proclaimed Jan. 25 as

"Box Lacrosse Day" in Peachtree City, saying, "I think

this is a wonderful opportunity to introduce this new sport and host visitors

to our city. As a lacrosse player, this is one of my all-time favorite

sports, and I'm pleased to se it gaining in popularity in Peachtree City."

The public

is welcome to attend the event, which is free of charge, and refreshments

will be available for purchase. Brown continued, "I encourage everyone

to come watch one of the fastest-moving sporting events in Peachtree City."

The field game

of Lacrosse, which resembles a cross between hockey and basketball, is

the oldest North American sport and is recognized as the fastest sport

on two feet. Once an Olympic sport, Lacrosse is played internationally

with teams from Europe and Asia competing against North American teams.

Box Lacrosse started in the 1930's and is played in a hockey arena with

5 players and a goalie.

The Peachtree

City Lacrosse Association introduced 87 new players to Indoor or Box Lacrosse,

joining the 1,400 boys and girls already playing Lacrosse in the Atlanta

Metro area. For more in formation check out the Peachtree City Lacrosse
