NEW PMYC FIELD AT VALLEY FORGE CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
Phoenixville Marian Youth Club (PMYC) dedicated a new multi-purpose field for use by youngsters at Valley Forge Christian College (VFCC) in Charlestown Township on Sunday, April 20.
The field will be used for boys and girls lacrosse in the spring as well as football, flag football and field hockey for girls during the fall months.
PMYC, which allows youngsters to play sports at no charge, has increasing numbers in all sports and felt the need to add a field for additional space to help accommodate all the boys and girls from Phoenixville and surrounding communities.
PMYC is in its 53rd year of existence since being instituted way back in 1956 at various sites in the area. Youngsters who range in ages from 8 through 13 are eligible to participate in the program.
This move by PMYC is a positive step by officials to help enhance their program to benefit all children in the area. As numbers grown, needs and facilities need to expand at the same time.
Volunteers direct such programs and need as much as support as possible from members of the community to assist people who donate so much time and effort in coaching and directing sports to help keep our youth occupied in a learning experience.
Boys and girls lacrosse have benefitted the most of all. The boys are part of the fastest-growing sport in the United States and need a better place to perform. The better youth program will only serve to aid as a feeder program for the Phoenixville Area High School boys program with head coach Jim O’Brien that competes in the competitive Pioneer Athletic Conference.
The girls lacrosse program at PMYC is also relatively new and is an important feeder system for the scholastic team coached by Jen Foresta at the senior high school level. The best teams in the PAC-10 have had youth girls lacrosse teams for many years and Phoenixville is only now catching up to them with a feeder system to help girls succeed at the next level of play.
Improved venues should enhance the chances of young people honing their skills in various sports.
