Positive Cheering

There are a lot of things that make me proud of Atlanta Youth Lacrosse. By far, the part of AYL I am most proud of, is our relentlessly positive fans. Since the program’s inception, the AYL staff strived to create an atmosphere of true sportsmanship on the sidelines, and we have succeeded in doing so because of like-minded and supportive parents.

Your Grandparent’s Living Room

Every time I visit my grandparents in Myrtle Beach the house is always immaculate. Sometimes I think my Grandma takes a Dirt Devil to every square inch of their living room each morning, and now I know why my mom starts cleaning our house three days before her parents ever walk through the front door.

I know everyone was given the “Trash Talk” at the first season meeting but after spending thirty minutes picking up trash yesterday I’d like to give ...
