The Kingston Youth Sports Organization (KYSO) is looking forward to another eventful year of fundraising during 2012.  Following November’s wildly successful 3^rd Annual Cold Turkey Adult Coed Softball Tourney, we are planning our 3^rd Annual Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Event.
 
This event will be held on Saturday, January 28 at the Knights of Columbus (KofC) Hall, South Street, Kingston. 
 
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, the Royal Garden and Rockland Athletic Supply, we will be guaranteeing a minimum of $2,500 in prize money for the event. 
KYSO would also like to offer a special thank you to the Knights for donating the hall and to the Royal Garden for donating the food for the event. 
 
The “buy-in” fee for the tournament will be $100 at the door, but $75 tickets will be available for purchase either from a fundraising committee member or online at www.kysopoker.eventbrite.com anytime before January 21.  Doors open at 5:45PM and a $25 feeder game will start at 6PM. The main event will start at 7PM. So if you enjoy playing cards, eating Chinese food, and spending time with friends before Super Bowl weekend, please come on down to the KofC and join in the fun.  It’s for a great cause, and you just might walk away a big winner!
 
Monies raised during KYSO events this year will be used to purchase equipment for the kids who play at KYSO’s home fields known as the Opachinski Athletic Fields.

We here at KLAX trust that everyone had a great holiday season.  We also trust that everyone has begun thinking about spring.  It's never too early to think spring as spring means one thing, LACROSSE!

For those players and parents new to KLAX, a most heartful "Welcome!"  To those veteran players and parents, a most heartful "Welcome Back!". 

In the next few months you will be receiving more information about the 2012 season.  So check the site periodically.

One thing we would like to point now is that we have added US Lacrosse Videos to the site as well as lacrosse skills in the Lacrosse 101 section of the site.  Be sure to check them out as there are a number of things you as a player can be doing during the off season.  Keep a stick in your hand and find yourself a wall (preferrably not in the house).  This goes for our new players as well as our veterans players as you can always be improving.

A note to our new members, KLAX would like to thank you for your interest and for allowing us to teach your child this great game.  We understand that lacrosse may be a new sport to both player and parent and would welcome any and all questions you may have.  We plan on compiling all the questions under a FAQ section for the website and your input is greatly appreciated.
