    All, Due Dates

    The deadline for completing the on-line registration for particpating in this year's lacrosse program is September 15, 2008.    Although our official season does not start until January, we need parents to honor the registration deadline so we can determine the number of player committments we have for this year.   The League has a "number of registered players" requirement for schools to be eligible to have 3 teams (D1+D2+JV).   Although we are confident we will have enough players to meet the 3 team requirement, we need each parent to complete their son's on-line registration and submit player dues by the deadline to make sure our club meets the league requirement.  Player registrations received after the September 15 deadline may become subject to availability.   Payments received after October 1, 2008, will by subject to late fees. 

    If you have not picked up a player packet, they are available at 10648 Chestnut Ridge in the Canyon Creek subdivision.

    If you have not already registered your son, please CLICK HERE and complete the on-line registration.  If you have additional questions, please email admin@westwoodlax.org
