Boyertown Optimist Lacrosse Teams (B.O.L.T.) was adopted as a new boys' youth sport in the fall of 2003; followed by the adoption of the girls' program in the fall of 2004. Boy's youth lacrosse has been in this area since 1996 thanks to the efforts from P.L.A.Y. ( Pottstown area Lacrosse Association for Youth). Currently the players are grouped by their age as of January 1st. There are U9 (Under 9 years old), U11, U13, and U15 levels. B.O.L.T. is a member of PVYLL (Penn Valley Youth Lacrosse League), which consists of teams from Berks, Chester , Lehigh, and Montgomery counties. The season runs approximately from March 1st to June 15th with games generally being played on weekends. Currently our home fields are at the Douglass ( Montgomery ) Township Park , thanks to the cooperation of the Boyertown Soccer Club.
Mission: To give the youth of the area an opportunity to actively participate and learn in an organized sport as exciting as lacrosse.
