| NF Youth Lacrosse FREE Winter Clinics Parents,
I hope everyone is doing as well as can be. We are anxious and optimistic that there will be lacrosse played this spring. As part of our NFYL registration, we have run indoor clinics at the MHHS gymnasium in previous years. With no access to the gym this year, we have reserved indoor turf at the Newton Youth Academy for the next 7-8 weeks, starting this week. The following is a schedule for everyone to follow:
Tuesdays from 5-6pm will be Girls in grades 5-8
Tuesdays from 6-7pm will be Boys in grades 5-8
Saturdays from 8-9am will be Girls in grades K-4
Saturdays from 9-10am will be Boys in grades K-4
These clinics are free (part of registration) but you MUST register for the season and have a valid US Lacrosse number to participate.
**Also NO CLEATS are allowed at NYA (wear sneakers).
We will need to adhere to strict protocol at NYA consisting of:
- Arrive no earlier than 10 mins before the scheduled start time.
- A coach or NYA employee will be checking you in with temperature check, health screening questions and hand sanitizer.
- Only players and coaches can enter...no parents/spectators.
- Mask must be worn.
- Locker rooms are not open...so come dressed to play.
- Bring a full water bottle as water fountains are not open.
- Respect social distancing when on sidelines.
- When the practice / game is completed, quick departure from the field through the door that we used to enter the field.
- If getting dropped off/picked up, please time this closely to avoid waiting as there is no waiting times inside.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at NYA …
Thanks,
Marty Morgan

| NF Youth Lacrosse Volunteer Opportunities 1. Weekly article consolidation for Town Tribune -Spend approx. 1/2 hr every Sunday night or Monday am consolidating each team article for submission to Town Tribune.
| Update on Multi Use Turf Field and GoFundMe Link
GoFundMe Link Click Here
Two articles regarding the multi-purpose turf field project were published this week on the @NewFairfield-News online site. The links to both articles are referenced below with the first part focused on the purpose of creating this field and the second part providing a status on the project approvals through the town boards. Khris Hall is the owner of the @NewFairfield-News online site and interviewed John Pendergast, Noah and me after meeting us during the recent Inland Wetlands meeting and Board of Selectman meeting in August.
The second article contains a link to a GoFundMe campaign containing a 3+ minute video created by Noah Alviti and Peter Kavanaugh which provides a net summary of the project purpose and objective…and a touching tribute to John Pendergast Jr.
We would appreciate if you could distribute these articles to increase the public awareness of this project as we strive to collectively raise the remaining funds needed to start this project.
From a town approval process, the status is:
- Inland Wetlands approval has been achieved.
- Zoning permit has been filed and the review with the Zoning Board is scheduled for the first week of October.
- A land contract between the town and New Fairfield Youth Lacrosse is now required. The initial contract has been created by the town attorney and revisions have been submitted which are currently under review by the town attorney.
- Once the land contract is signed, then a public hearing will be scheduled to discuss any concerns with the land contract. If the land contract is accepted without any changes by the public, then a town meeting will be scheduled for a town vote. We will be requesting your attendance in this future meeting to provide strong public support for this project. This vote would be the last step of the approval process.
We will keep you posted…and thanks again for your support and contribution to this project.
Thanks.
