June

Our last two previous seasons had not been as successful as we wanted them to be so heading into the 2023 season Burke Lacrosse was starting a reload process. Some new recruits, new coaches, and a new team culture brought new expectations for the team. As expected with a reload the season started off slow and rocky; However, in mid-season everything started to click. The team rallied around itself and started producing results. By the end of the season, we had won a handful of games, some against those that we did not expect to beat; We had recruited a large number of new players to the sport; We had increased our sponsors from the previous season; and we were in a battle for the last playoff seed. Unfortunately, we came up just shy of making the playoffs by a handful of scored goals. 2023 was a success as we had surpassed all of our goals and the team is heading into the Summer Travel Ball season confident that 2024 will be even better. In 2024 the bar will be set higher and expectations will be raised but we are ready for the challenge.

Burke Lacrosse’s First Alumni Game

On Saturday, July 22nd we will host our first Alumni Game at Burke Stadium. The game will feature alumni as well as the current roster. We are still in the planning stages, for now, we are expecting to have a current players vs alumni game (pups vs old dogs) and if everyone is still in good enough shape an old dogs vs older dogs game.

We are working on plans for a BBQ after the games at the stadium.

Alumni will have to figure out which bar they are heading to after the BBQ and parents can meet at (TBD).

All former players, parents, and friends of the program are welcome.
