A Message from AYL's President
IMPORTANT INFO: New Season of Excitement and Growth with the Auburn Saints LAX!
Auburn Saints Family, (Key dates below)
Welcome! As we gear up for an exhilarating 2024 spring lacrosse season, we are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to both new and returning players to the Auburn Youth Lacrosse (AYL) family. Whether you are picking up a lacrosse stick for the first time or returning to the field as a seasoned player, your journey with the Auburn Saints is about to embark on your next exciting chapter.
I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Rob Poznanski, and I am incredibly excited to step into the role of President for the Auburn Saints LAX Program. Having been a part of this wonderful community as a parent, I have experienced firsthand the positive impact AYL has on my son, Grayson, as he’s been playing in this program for three years and will be joining the 5/6 team this year. When the opportunity to lead this amazing program presented itself, I jumped in without hesitation, eager to contribute to our community's growth and success. Scott and Ann have done an incredible job setting the tone & getting this program to where it’s at today - growing the program, its presence & producing great young men and women in our community. Summer and fall programs in the NW have commented at how great our coaches & kids are and our reputation in the South Sound is a growing. I firmly believe, there is no better lacrosse development program in the NW. “If someone wants to play, we will find a way!”
Our mission at AYL is clear and steadfast: to nurture and grow the game of lacrosse for youth in Auburn, Washington. We are dedicated to serving students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to learn, play, and develop in this dynamic sport.
For our newcomers, we can't wait for you to experience the joys and challenges of lacrosse. Our youth beginner clinics are designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of the game in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. You'll learn not just the skills of the game, but also the values of teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.
To our returning players, well, what can I say…..get ready to take your skills and team spirit to the next level! This is our year! You are the heart of the Auburn Saints, and your dedication, hard work, can do attitude and enthusiasm set an incredible example for our new players. This season promises more growth, more challenges, and more thrilling moments on the field. Are you ready?
Our programs offer a unique opportunity to compete with other youth teams across King County and Pierce County like: Mercer Island, Mount Si, Bellevue, Lake Washington, Issaquah, and other similar teams. This exposure to the highest level of competition in the Northwest is invaluable in developing your abilities and understanding of the game.
At AYL, we are proud to have a team of dedicated volunteer staff and coaches. These individuals are the backbone of our club, committed to teaching not only lacrosse skills but also the importance of physical conditioning, safety, and good sportsmanship. They create an atmosphere where positive self-discipline, commitment to others, and contributing to the success of the team and club are paramount. We are committed to making participation in lacrosse affordable, safe, and positive for players, parents, and coaches alike. Your involvement, whether on the field or cheering from the sidelines, is what makes our club a community.
As we step into this new season, let's remember that every practice, every game, and every interaction is an opportunity to grow not just as players, but as individuals, on and off the field. The lessons learned here, the friendships forged, and the memories created will extend far beyond the lacrosse field.
