Vashon Lacrosse Club has kicked off the preseason with  indoor, all ages boys’ drop-in scrimmages from 2:45 to 5 p.m. Sundays.

The club, which includes players in grades 3 to 12, is getting ready for a competitive season. This year the boys high school team will compete in Division II instead of Division I, as it has in the past. According to coach Charley Rosenberry, Division II is a great fit for Vashon, pitting the high school boys against teams from similarly sized schools.

Rosenberry said that this year’s Varsity Vultures will welcome new players, and he is encouraged that the 2012 spring schedule should allow new players to take the field along with the boys who have been playing for years.

This year’s high school season kicks off March 13 with a game at Blanchet High School. Mark your calendars for the first home game, 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, at Vashon High School.
