Chapter Recognition Program presents THE MAINE CHAPTER with the August 2009 Award!

When you speak with Jamie Chamberlain, President of the Maine Chapter of US Lacrosse, you soon realize his passion for and diverse involvement in lacrosse. He is a high school coach, college umpire and chapter leader. The Maine Chapter, located in the Portland, Maine demographic area, provides state wide support to boys and girls lacrosse in the more populous southern part of the state and to the rural north, each often requiring different leadership, direction and development. Their no frills web site is one of the strengths of their chapter, disseminating information to a broad population. It is organized, informative, comprehensive and easy to follow. It covers many areas of lacrosse involvement from youth to adult, for coaches, officials, club teams and even posting of our chapter newsletter and college lacrosse TV schedules. It's worth the time to sign on and admire the information they provide. Some of their past sponsored events include:

• Level I boys clinic
• Held tryouts for and organized a US Lacrosse Festival team
• Sponsored a scholarship for a coach to attend the US Lacrosse Convention
• Helped organize tryouts for the Upper New England HS Girls National Tournament Team entry
