Lacrosse festival

It's a fall festival, but it's got nothing to do with pumpkins, autumn leaves or Halloween.

Girls Lacrosse of San Jose will hold a fall lacrosse festival that will target two groups of girls ages 10­18—experienced players who want to get in shape, and others who are interested in learning more about the sport.

The festival—to be held Oct. 24 and Nov. 7 (noon­2 p.m. for girls in grades 5­8, 2:30­4:30 p.m. for high school girls) at the Kirk Community Center on Foxworthy Avenue near Meridian—will feature clinics, raffles of lacrosse gear and refreshments. Girls Lacrosse of San Jose coaches will provide the instruction and equipment will be provided.

A $10 donation will cover raffle tickets, insurance and expenses at the festival.

Girls Lacrosse of San Jose sponsored two teams of fifth to eighth graders last season and plans to add a high school club in the coming year. The season runs from February through May.
