None of this gets old for Handerhan, 61, who was around for the league’s founding in 1992 and has led it through uncertain times and growth. The league, playing its 33rd season this summer, consists of five teams with players ranging from 14 years old to some in their 50s, most local but others coming from several counties and states. There\u2019s high schoolers looking to stay fit over the summer, young adults looking to meet friends and mothers playing alongside their daughters.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re all here \u2014 Ewing Street Park nestled less than a mile away from Bel Air\u2019s Main Street \u2014 for different reasons but drawn to the same unique opportunity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was in my 20s, there really wasn’t that much opportunity for women beyond college to play,\u201d said Handerhan, a Catonsville native who played lacrosse at University of Richmond and now lives in Bel Air. \u201cIt was either softball or soccer. It\u2019s just nice that there’s another option for ladies to continue to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bel Air Women\u2019s Lacrosse League has taken several forms since its founding. They\u2019ve played in parks across Harford County, including Bel Air middle school for a time, but now call the private and quant Ewing Street Park home.<\/p>\n
They play every Tuesday and Thursday night from the first week of June through the end of July \u2014 each team plays about 10 regular season games, weather permitting. A semifinal and championship game are slated for the end of the month. The league has played every year since its creation, even during the pandemic impacted summer of 2020.<\/p>\n
Most players are local, but some come from Baltimore and Cecil counties. And a few make the half-hour drive from just over the Pennsylvania line. There\u2019s nine mother-daughter pairs in the league, Handerhan said.<\/p>\n
Amy Clough, 53, has played since the 1990s. She took a break to raise her two daughters. One of them, Aurora, 22, has played since her sophomore year at Fallston seven years ago. She used to watch her mom compete from the sidelines. Now, they share the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was pretty much me,\u201d Aurora said, pointing to a group of kids playing nearby. \u201cThen high school came around and she was like, \u2018You should play.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody\u2019s so forgiving out here,\u201d Amy added. \u201cEveryone\u2019s friendly. That\u2019s a huge draw for me. Everyone just wants to have a place to play. I’m just grateful that they let us \u2014 let me<\/em> \u2014 at my age. It feels rare. It\u2019s a rare thing.\u201d<\/p>\n Cari Biscoe is one of Handerhan\u2019s top volunteer helpers, arriving early to set up the field and managing other aspects of the league\u2019s operations. Her two daughters, Addison, 18, and Molly, 16, play. Like Aurora Clough, they were once the younger children running around the sidelines watching mom.<\/p>\n \u201cI like being able to play with her. I enjoy it. Sometimes she yells at us, but it\u2019s fun,\u201d Molly Biscoe, a rising junior at John Carroll who\u2019s in her second summer with the league, said through a smile.<\/p>\n The league is not without its challenges. Participation has dipped in recent years as club leagues pluck talented high school and college-aged players away. The league once also fielded a junior level. There\u2019s just one level now, but promising regrowth helped the league expand from four to five teams in 2025. Handerhan credits the Bel Air Recreation Committee\u2019s increased social media presence for helping word spread.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve had our battles,\u201d Cari Biscoe said. \u201cBut since COVID, we\u2019ve been able to bring back that resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n Handerhan is also some of the players\u2019 biggest cheerleaders. Between answering questions and jotting who scored the latest goal, she\u2019s shouting words of encouragement or coaching tips to players as they maneuver around defenders to attack the net.<\/p>\n She hasn\u2019t taken the field herself for several years now, but Handerhan is still spending her Tuesday and Thursday nights here. She doesn\u2019t see herself \u2014 or the Bel Air Women\u2019s Lacrosse League \u2014 slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n \u201cSo they don\u2019t have to stop,\u201d Handerhan said as she updates the score board and tells referees the time. \u201cI just want to let it be known that you don’t have to stop after you have kids. You can come back and play with us. You can get married and come back and play with us. And when your kids get older, you come back and play with them.\u201d<\/p>\n Have a news tip?
