Founded in 1974, Ashbee Lacrosse is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a highly-successful boys’ youth lacrosse program this season. Ashbee was founded by Norm Treinish, who wanted to provide lacrosse instruction for boys residing in Lower Merion Township, Pa.
At the time, the Philadelphia Wings played in the first version of the NLL and were generating interest in the sport beyond its traditional prep-school roots. Treinish, a former college and club player, organized the informal but regular games for the kids of Merion.
