The Dan Anderson Lacrosse Classic (DALC) started in 2004 in memory of one of GBYLA's first and most dedicated parent boosters in its early years, Dan Anderson, who died of melanoma cancer in his late 40's. Dan was one of those parents who was always involved in helping with his sons' activities as a coach and parent volunteer. Dan's son Chris played lacrosse for 7 years thru GBYLA, and Dan was the one dad who was always at Chris's team practices helping out in whatever way he could. Within just a few years, Dan went from a sideline dad to Head Coach. His passion for the sport was contagious. In memory of Dan's spirit and contributions, GBYLA and Dan's employer,
Sterne Agee, launched the Dan Anderson Lacrosse Classic (DALC) in 2004, with proceeds benefiting the GBYLA and Mtn. Brook Lacrosse.
In 7 years, the DALC has grown from a 4-team U15 tournament in its first year to a 45 team - U15 and High School-boys and girls tournament. In 2009 teams participated from Huntsville, and the States of Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Utah. The Co-Chairmen of the DALC from its inception have been Dan's wife, Tracey Anderson, and Tom Lewis, who coached Dan's son Chris for 3 years from 2004 - 2006 on the Mtn. Brook Varsity team. The 8th Annual DALC Tourney is scheduled to be held early Spring, 2011 at the Rathmell Mtn. Brook Sports Park. For volunteer information, please contact Hunter Faulconer at hunter@gbyla.org
