The year-round travel program will field one boys and one girls team per age group from ninth-graders through high school seniors. Each team will have a maximum 28-player roster and two coaches per team.
The team program will start with a rigorous summer 2012 training schedule on outdoor fields, and follow up with a fall and winter practice and play program held on CPCT’s 100-yard indoor turf field and in the Chelsea Piers CT Athletic Training Facility. The teams will travel regionally to compete.

“I am excited to be creating what will be the best club program in Connecticut,” Bulkley said. "There is a lot of talent in Fairfield County. With our outstanding athletic facility at Chelsea Piers Connecticut and a roster of talented, dedicated coaches, I expect that CP-LAX will quickly become a dominant force in Fairfield County “

• Football: The Darien football team looks to complete a Fairfield sweep on Friday (7 p.m.) when the Blue Wave visits Fairfield Warde at Tetreau-Davis Field.
Darien opened defense of its FCIAC championship in impressive fashion last week, routing Fairfield Ludlowe, 38-13. Junior quarterback Henry Baldwin played well in his first varsity start, throwing three touchdown passes and rushing for a fourth score as he showed no signs of nerves.
However, the Blue Wave will be facing what appears to be a much-improved Warde squad which opened with a 22-15 victory over
McMahon last week.
The Mustangs boast a huge offensive line and a powerful tailback in senior Devon Lofton, who rushed for 229 yards against the Senators, including a game-winning 3-yard TD run with just over a minute remaining.
