But the Knights, who won four consecutive Sea View League titles, won’t have a league affiliation this season.

Foothill has moved to the Century League from the Sea  View League.  But the Century league dos not sponsor lacrosse since only Foothill, El Dorado and Esperanza have lacrosse teams.

“So this year Foothill is playing as an independent,” Head Coach Jon Fox said.

Los Angeles County High School Lacrosse: Glendale Girls Lacrosse Will Compete As A CIF-Southern Section Program In 2011


After sporting a club program the past several years, Glendale High will feature a girls’ lacrosse team this season. The Glendale Unified School District approved it in November and the Nitros became a CIF Southern Section sanctioned program.

“The bottom line for me is I really felt it’s a great opportunity for the kids. Fortunately, we have the support of the district and the dedication of the coach and the interest of the kids to be able to do this. … This is a win-win for everybody.”

While an official schedule hasn’t been compiled — the season runs March through May — Campbell said the Nitros are allotted 20 maximum matches. The Nitros will compete in the four-team Prep League with La Cañada, Westridge and Chadwick. In addition, Glendale might compete in matches against teams from other states.

Glendale will be the first local school to field a lacrosse program.

“The way I understood it, they have club teams and they have CIF teams and most of the girls’ club teams became CIF teams,” said Glendale Principal Deb Rinder, adding that club teams can only compete against other club teams, which would limit the Nitros program going forward. “I felt like that would dissolve the team and the interest.

Coach Joe Campbell, who runs the school’s construction academy and played lacrosse in high school and college before being inducted into the Lacrosse Hall of Fame’s Greater Los Angeles chapter in 2008, said he believed the Nitros would someday have a CIF program.

“To me, it’s a huge step for the kids at Glendale High School,” said Campbell, who additionally oversees the Glendale Lacrosse Club that features a boys’ and girls’ team. “All I care about is that they can go out there and compete.

“It gives us a legitimate program, just like volleyball, soccer, track and field and softball. Most kids have never played a sport in high school. Now, they get an opportunity to represent their school. We’ve had about 20 girls sign up and hopefully there will be more coming.

Southern California High School Girls Lacrosse: Thousand Oaks And Newbury Park Girls Lacrosse Teams Approved To Compete As Varsity CIF-Sanctioned Sports


Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park high schools will each field a girls’ lacrosse team to compete in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section.

Dr. Jeff Davis, director of secondary education with Conejo Valley Unified School District, said Westlake High School didn’t express as much interest as the other two schools and will not be forming a girls’ team at this time.

“ The lacrosse community is pretty strong out here now,” Davis said. “ It’s really exciting. It’s a nice new opportunity for our girls in Conejo Valley.”

In the past two years, a club league comprising lacrosse teams from Agoura, Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, Westlake and Simi Valley has been operating in the area under the Southern California Lacrosse Association.

The CVUSD school board approved boys’ lacrosse as a CIF- sanctioned sport last spring, under the condition that the program be self- funded through booster organizations.

Davis said the girls’ lacrosse program was approved Dec. 7 under the same conditions.
