Area Code 518 unless otherwise noted

Adirondack Chapter of US Lacrosse - This organization provides the region with representation in US Lacrosse (see below) and oversees a whole host of lacrosse activities, including youth lacrosse leagues for boys and girls, team tryouts and training for the boys' and girls' teams that participate in the Empire State Games, and developmental programs for players looking to reach their lacrosse potential. Membership includes local college coaches, high school coaches, and many of the most lacrosse-knowledgeable people in the entire region.
Breakaway Sports (785-1393) - Located in Latham, this is THE place in the Capital Region to purchase lacrosse ANYTHING. Store managers Mike McCarthy and Jeff Serge have been nothing but great to us. Good prices for good stuff, and a warehouse of lacrosse knowledge. Resist the temptation to shop elsewhere!
Field and Teams (283-4399) - Now located on Route 4 opposite Applebee's, F&T has long been the provider of custom lacrosse apparel for Youth Lacrosse (like those cool jerseys with your name and number), the High School Boys (shorts and shirts), and jackets and hats for everyone. Manager Kathy Lochner consistently provides us with perfection in record time. Check out their team uniforms, athletic wear and outerwear!
Top Form, Inc. (477-2700) - When it comes to health and fitness, if there's a nicer, more knowledgeable guy than Ron Annis, I haven't met him. For many years the beloved athletic trainer at Columbia High School, Ron is perhaps a little (but not much!) lesser known for his Speed, Strength and Power Camps, the Blue Devils Drug-Free Liftoff, his work with the Columbia Iron Devils, New York State Coaching Certification courses, and a whole host of programs that would fill most of this page. At his new location on Miller Road in Castleton, Ron is now offering personal training for anyone looking to get to that next level, whether they be athletes of any age, or those of us just trying to age as gracefully as possible. (My dad's 79 and has benefited greatly from 5 sessions of balance and strengthening exercises.) Give Ron a chance - you won't be disappointed!
US Lacrosse - This is the governing body and central repository for lacrosse in the world. There's information here for everyone, regardless of how much you know about the game.
