Please go to www.mountainlax.com to register for both our Boys’ and Girls’ spring programs. Registration closes January 15th, 2010 and we hope to have teams formed in February. We anticipate starting practices towards the end of February/beginning of March with first games in late-March or early April.
The Mountain Lacrosse league is always looking for volunteers to help in the operations of the league and this year is no exception. Please indicate in your registration if you would like to volunteer your time to help with our community organization. We are looking to expand our volunteer base for coaching (both head and assistant), team managers, Lax Jam volunteers, and general league volunteers.
Registration fees for 2010 have not changed from last year and are $225 for Boys and $210 for Girls. Mountain Lacrosse is a not for profit organization and all our fees go to fund the operation of the league. The 2010 Registration fees include fees to: US Lacrosse Membership dues; U.S. Lacrosse Association (USLA); Colorado Youth Lacrosse Association (CYLA); Colorado Girls Lacrosse Association (CGLA), Evergreen Park & Recreation District player fees; all regular season referee fees; field rentals and maintenance; indoor practice facility rental; team & league equipment (goals, nets, balls, game clocks, etc.); and scholarship fund contribution. Again for 2010, registration fees will include player participation fees for the 2010 Mountain Lax Jam. All players will become members of the U.S. Lacrosse Association for insurance purposes. Your Mountain Lacrosse registration fees include your annual US Lacrosse membership dues.
We email this letter to all people in our database, however, please forward this along to friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. who have expressed an interest in playing lacrosse. We are open to levels of players, beginning to advanced.
If you have any questions about the Mountain Lacrosse League or the registration process please email

posted 10/20/2009 Mountain Lacrosse Community:
The MLL Board has completed its review of the Boys' Spring Program as referenced in recent communications and has concluded, based on feedback from league constituents, review of comparable youth lacrosse programs, and discussion with various youth lacrosse and youth sports resources, that adopting a Competitive (vs. Recreational) Program for MLL is not in the best interest of the league and its constituents.
Much was gleaned from this review and we believe changes are needed for the league and the Boys Spring Program. Accordingly, we have adopted a new MLL Mission Statement and League Philosophy & Goals, revised the Boys Spring Program to include a new team assignment process for 6th – 8th grades, and incorporated a Player Attendance and Game Playing Time Policy. Implemented together, will believe these changes will advance our program to better meet the needs of all MLL players while maintaining our inclusive positioning and overall sense of community. The league’s objective with these changes is to create equitable player development opportunities for all MLL participants by teaming comparably-skilled players and assigning them to appropriate CYLA divisions.
Full descriptions of the above documents and program descriptions are available on the Mountain Lax website, www.mountainlax.com. The changes to the Boys Spring Program are consistent with the league’s primary objective of player development, including:
· Grades 6 – 8 grade level teams will be assigned based on two assignment approaches. MLL will assign one or more teams for each grade level based on player Aptitude, Attitude and Attendance (AAA). Players interested in being considered for these teams will participate in the AAA Assignment Process which includes assessment and participation in the Assignment Practice Session (see further detail below). Teams will be assigned in whole-team increments based on the results of this AAA Assignment Process. For players not interested in participating in the AAA Assignment Process, and for those players not assigned based on the Assignment Process due to non-whole team counts, remaining teams will be assigned based on geography and / or school affiliation (with consideration given to prior year assignment).
· K-5th grade teams will continue to be assigned based on geography and / or school affiliation as in previous years.
· Teams will be placed in appropriate CYLA divisions that align with overall team skill levels.
· All grade levels will incorporate combined “grade level practice sessions” to cross-pollinate players and enhance overall league community
There is much work yet to be done to successfully transition to this new Boys Spring Program. For a more complete description of the changes, please review the detailed documents under the Boy’s Lacrosse tab on the website. If you have further questions please contact
.
Registration for the 2010 Spring Season opens November 1, 2009 and will close promptly on January 15, 2010. Please register early as last year we ended up having wait lists for some of the grade levels.
Thank you for your continued support of Mountain Lacrosse and we look forward to another great season!

posted 09/27/2009 Denver Named #1 Top Lacrosse Town by Inside Lacrosse
Inside Lacrosse, the Lacrosse world's premiere site for Lacrosse news, scores and analysis for all levels of the game, recently named Denver as their number one Top Lacrosse town. Here is an excerpt from their story:
"Our top town, Denver, which we unveiled today, had a combination of everything: it’s the pro lacrosse town in the world, the youth culture is exploding and year after year, more players are moving out to the Mile High City. It also attracted one of the game’s legends, Bill Tierney, out to further develop the college ranks through Denver University’s team, which has become a national name in the last decade."
Inside Lacrosse - September 15, 2009

posted 06/16/2009 Big news for DU lacrosse…hope everyone is enjoying the summer.
DENVER – Legendary Princeton men’s lacrosse coach Bill Tierney has been named the head men’s lacrosse coach at the University of Denver, Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Recreation and Ritchie Center Operations Peg Bradley-Doppes announced today.
During his 22 seasons with Princeton, Tierney led the Tigers to six NCAA championships, eight NCAA championship games, 10 NCAA Final Four appearances and 14 Ivy League championships. He compiled a career record of 238-86 at Princeton and has a career collegiate record of 272-93 for an impressive .745 winning percentage.
“We are thrilled to announce the hiring of Bill Tierney as the newest men’s lacrosse coach at the University of Denver,” Bradley-Doppes said. “He is a tremendous addition to our coaching family and someone who will elevate our program into a national contender. Bill is one of the best coaches of any sport at any level and is highly regarded in collegiate lacrosse. He demands a lot of his student-athletes on the playing field, as well as in the classroom, and is the perfect coach to take our program to the next level.”
His impact on the student-athletes at Princeton has resulted in 26 first-team All-Americans, 73 first-team All-Ivy League selections, seven Ivy League Players of the Year, six Ivy League Rookies of the Year and over 20 USILA Scholar All-Americas. He has recruited and coached two winners of the Lt. Raymond J. Enners Award as the national player of the year (David Morrow in 1993 and Scott Bacigalupo in 1994).
“I would like to thank Princeton for 22 years of support and happiness, and for the ability to take this program to the level that it’s at now,” Tierney said. “I’d also like to thank the University of Denver for giving me this wonderful opportunity to start this new chapter in my life. Everyone from the Board of Trustees to Chancellor Robert Coombe and Peg Bradley-Doppes has been absolutely great during this entire process. I am looking forward to helping the DU men’s lacrosse program reach new heights.”
In 1992, Tierney won the Morris Touchstone Award as the Division I Coach of the Year to go along with the Division III Coach of the Year honor he received in 1983 at RIT. He was elected to the Long Island Chapter Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1994 and the New Jersey Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 1999.
Outside of his collegiate coaching honors, Tierney has coached the United States to the World Championship in 1998, and was inducted into the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame as part of the 2002 class.
Tierney replaces Jamie Munro, who resigned on May 7 after posting a 91-70 mark in 11 seasons. Tierney will begin as head coach of the Pioneers effective July 1, 2009.
