40 HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY HOFSTRA IN THE COMMUNITY

ach September, the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team extends its facilities and time to the community for an all-day lacrosse EEtournament called the Hofstra Fall Festival. The tournament, which also serves as a team fundraiser, features a clinic in conjunction with the day’s games. The Fall Festival is open to high school and middle school age players, and is run as a 7 versus 7 round-robin tournament. The Pride help to organize the day, run the clinic and officiate the games. The team takes the day seriously as each year they go through an educational session with a local lacrosse official to re-learn the rules of the game from an officials point of view. The team also learns the difference between collegiate and youth rules. Most players have never served as an official, so these sessions help them understand the pressures officials face during competition and the importance of good sportsmanship.

This past September, Hofstra held its fifth Hofstra Fall Festival. The tournament started in 1999 with 12 local teams, but has grown each year and now features more than 50 teams (both club and scholastic) from all over the east coast. The Fall Festival is a great way for the Hofstra Women’s Lacrosse team to spread its love of the game and to give back to the sport.

Hofstra has also lent its time and support to a variety of charitable causes, including the Special Olympics, the breast cancer Walk for a Cure and the Walk to D’Feet ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
