Clark Youth Lacrosse held their 2nd Annual Clark Youth Lacrosse Night on May 8th.
The night brought together all members of Clark Youth Lacrosse as they trained and ran through drills organized by the Varsity Lacrosse Team at Arthur L. Johnson High School. The evening culminated with Johnson’s Varsity Head Lacrosse Coach, Lou VanBergen, and former MLL star and current Head Lacrosse Coach of the Wagner Seahwaks, Matt Poskay, delivering a message to the children. Both speakers were former alumni of Clark Youth Lacrosse, Carl H. Kumpf Middle School, and Arthur L. Johnson High School and delivered poignant messages to the audience.
Lou VanBergen, Head Lacrosse Coach of the Crusaders, had this to say about the day: “It was a true privilege having Matt and the members of Clark Youth Lacrosse attend today’s event. We stress to our student athletes that the relationships that they develop playing and coaching last a lifetime. When I asked Matt to stop in to talk to our players, he jumped at the opportunity to not only stop by, but to spend an entire evening with our programs. It was a great night for Crusader Lacrosse.”
The entire Crusader Lacrosse Family would like to thank the Varsity Crusader Lacrosse Team and Coaches, and Matt Poskay for his help throughout the evening on the practice field and for generously donating time out of his busy schedule to help the student athletes of Clark.
