League Moves Soccer to Fall

Suburban One lacrosse teams may pick up top girls’ athletes with move of soccer to the fall

By Chris Goldberg, Phillylacrosse.com, 8/31/10

That thump of the soccer ball you may be hearing is music to the ears of scholastic girls’ lacrosse coaches. This year, the Suburban One League has moved girls’ soccer from the spring to the fall. The move was made one year before the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) ordered all spring soccer programs to be moved to the fall so everyone in the state would play in the same season.

For years, the Suburban One and many other schools in the state have played girls’ soccer in the spring, while half of the state played in the fall. That prevented many top female athletes from either starting to play lacrosse at the middle school or youth levels or coming out for lacrosse at the high school level.

Now, girls who play soccer do not have to quit lacrosse in high school, or those who play soccer can decide to play youth or middle school lacrosse knowing they can play it at the scholastic level. That can only be good news for high school coaches.

Talking Turkey to Haven Board

Strath Haven players, parents, followers jam school board meeting to support Coach "Duck"

By Chris Goldberg, Phillylacrosse.com, 8/24/10

About 65 supporters, comprised of team members, parents and followers, jammed into the Strath Haven Middle School library Monday during the monthly Wallingford-Swarthmore School Board meeting on behalf of Jen Duckenfield, whose contract as head girls’ lacrosse coach was not renewed for 2011 by the school administration.

Nearly a dozen of these supporters spoke for almost an hour about why Duckenfield, who guided the Panthers to a share of their first Central League championship, was a positive leader for the team and should not have been let go. Duckenfield had finished her first year as head coach after serving as a volunteer assistant for two years and a paid assistant for five years.
