It takes a village/team to run a youth sport association....
The MALA board works to ensure there is a regular season for our travel lacrosse program; plans both the Spring and Fall in-house programs; and helps with our Play Lacrosse for Free days. Tasks are split up among board members to ensure we get all the items completed. We have been fortunate to have board members stay on after their players have moved on to high school or other endeavors, but now many of those longtime dedicated members are stepping down. This means there is room for YOU!
Feel free to email the president at malapresident1@gmail.com or any board member. We meet regularly on the third MONDAY of the Month at 7pm. We have been meeting at Hosanna Lutheran.
Sponsors Needed!
We appreciate all the support.
