The movement to place Automatic External Defibrillators on the sideline of lacrosse games continued to grow this past year, this time in Setauket, N.Y. The Three Village Youth Lacrosse League, which runs a clinic starting with kids in kindergarten, recently instituted a new AED program for the upcoming season.
John Petraco, a physician, coach and father of four boys, brought up the program to the board and all agreed it was worthwhile. Thanks to help fundraising from the Louis Acompora Foundation, the league has five AEDs and will be training their coaches how to use them. Some day, the league hopes to have them for every team, and for now, they are developing a system where they will be handed off to get them to as many games as possible.
