FROSH CHIEFS TAKE 2nd IN INAUGURAL TOURNEY

Coach Tom Haggerty and the Frosh Chiefs spent a windy Saturday in Cachey Park hosting 8 other teams in the First Annual Chiefs Summit Frosh Tourney. The Chiefs battled to victories over Minooka and Downers Grove North/South before dropping a close one to the Fenwick Friars 5-3 in the Championship game. The Fox Valley Foxes, a club team, took 3rd place in the tourney.

Full tournament scores and photos will be posted soon. Photographer Hank Wolf was at the tourney taking shots, and they are available for viewing and purchase at www.highfivephotos.com

The Chiefs Summit was the first Frosh tourney of its kind in the southwest suburbs, and provided all teams with the opportunity to play at least 2 games, most teams playing 3. Teams involved were: D230 Chiefs, York Dukes, Minooka Indians, Hinsdale Central Red Devils, Naperville Central Redhawks, Fenwick Friars, Downers Grove North/South, Fox Valley Foxes, and Homewood-Flossmoor Vikings. Due to a last minute cancellation, the brackets had to be reorganized on the fly. Thanks to all teams for being understanding and flexible.

Thanks to the Haggerty, Teschke, Kurtovich, Palumbo, Nelson, and Miller families, as well as NiCole and Chloe Kedziora, for their help in planning and executing the event. Thanks also to all of our parent volunteers for their time and energy, and to our tourney sponsors..XS Energy Drinks, Lacrosse America, and True Lacrosse, for helping provide this opportunity for lacrosse teams from all over the south and west suburbs.

Plans are in the works to make this an annual event.

The D230 Chiefs are open to all interested boys grades 9 - 12 from Sandburg, Andrew, and Stagg.

Our Mission Statement

Bringing Out The Best


On and off the field. Athletically, Academically, and Personally. That’s the primary goal of the Orland Park Chiefs Lacrosse Club. We will instill in our young players the values of quality, integrity, teamwork, and sportsmanship--values that will stay with them when they leave the lacrosse field, and eventually leave our program upon high school graduation. Each member of our team is valuable to our team’s success, and personal improvement should be the goal of each individual.

The Club is dedicated to organizing, developing, and promoting the sport of lacrosse within high school district 230 and the surrounding community. We shall honor the game, respect our opponents, and value the concept of team above individual players as we field competitive lacrosse teams from fifth grade level through high school level. Our organization will be open to accepting all members who share our ideals, and wish to be a part of our mission.

Each member of the Orland Park Chiefs is expected to carry himself with class and dignity both on and off the field, to exhibit a strong work ethic, to place the team above himself, and to be responsible for his own actions. This will enable us to consistently bring out the best in each and every one of us.

=================================
HISTORY The Chiefs are a boys lacrosse team. The club was organized in the summer of 2003 by George Miller, the father of a junior high boy. Several boys from Century JHS and surrounding towns came to a clinic put on by Lacrosse America during the summer. That group played several games against high school teams and then moved on to an indoor league at Darien Sportsplex. Today, those boys are still playing lacrosse. On March 24, the D230 School Board voted unanimously to recognize Lacrosse as an emerging sport. The first season in the IHSLA was played in spring 2005.

There are two programs within the club -- a high school progam and youth program. Based in the Orland Park area, the HS team is composed of members from each of the Distrct 230 high schools - Andrew, Sandburg and Stagg . Any male student in District 230 is welcome to join the high school program and play on one of the teams.

Orland Park Lacrosse Club also has a 4th through 8th grade junior high division that is the life blood and future of lacrosse in District 230. Players come from throughout the Southland. The youth team looks forward to another successful season in preparation for the challenges of competitive high school lacrosse.
