9/28/200911:03:16 PM Link | | Add comment
The NCAA Stick Head waiver was modified, allowing teams to claim the waiver for the 2010 season. However, if a team claims the waiver, then it must become a DIII team and compete at the DIII level. Since Westwood does not compete at the DIII level, players at Westwood will need a 2010 NCAA head to be compliant.
Please visit South Swell Sports to see the available heads and talk to a sales rep for more detailed information, but do not buy a head at that time or you will not receive the team discount.
Head order forms were distributed at the Parent Meeting in September and an attachment was sent in an email on Monday, September 28. If you still need a head order form, please send Teri Holmstrom an email at mholmstrom@austin.rr.com and she will send you an order form via email.
Please write your players name and your email on the order form before mailing to the Club's address. All checks sholud be written to Westwood Lacrosse. The ordering deadline for heads has been extended to October 6 to give everyone time to visit South Swell this week.

If you'd like to include a picture, digital photos can be emailed to Joan at joan@joansspeak.com .
If you enjoy graphic design, you can create your own camera-ready ad and send it to Joan at the above email address. Still, mail the form and paperwork to the Club. If you would prefer us to put the ad together for you, fill out the form, email the picture or mail the hard-copy picture with the form if you are unable to scan. It's that simple.
This is also a great way to advertise your small business. The process is the same and the business advantage is time-tested.

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.
