  AYLL Newsletter launches
In the interests of furthering its ability to effectively communicate with players, parents, coaches, officials and team administrators, the AYLL board of directors will be periodically sending out an electronic newsletter entitled AYLL Lax Lowdown. You are reading the very first issue of the Lowdown.

We recognize that not all Arizona lacrosse enthusiasts visit the official AYLL league website, www.azlax.com, on a regular basis and therefore do not always obtain important league information in a timely manner. For that reason we have created the Lowdown. Each issue of the Lowdown will be sent to every member of the AYLL community and will contain important and timely information on an as needed basis. Information that is very likely to be important to you and your team.

Each issue of the Lowdown will typically be no more than one page and will be archived on the league website. You can view all Newsletters from this page.

Upon receipt of the Lowdown, we encourage you to forward it onto anyone who you think may be interested in youth lacrosse. The success and ongoing growth of the AYLL starts with you.

Competitive and administrative details will be worked out by September.
