Thanks to all the parents who made the hospitality tent a success. The hospitality tent is completely funded by the generous donations of parents. It allows all coaches, players and their parents a place to gather between games and grab a drink or snack. After teams are announced in January, I will be needing a Hospitality Coordinator for each team. If you are interested in this position, please contact Andi Tasset @ atasset@sbcglobal.net to get further information. Thank you again for donating coolers, tents, snacks, drinks and ice.

Player Survey -Possible Alumni Game-Nov 29 th
10/19/20081:59:01 PM Link | | Add comment
We recenlty sent an email to the parents of this year's registered players who were on last year's DI or DII teams. The email was a survey designed to determine if we have enough players from the last year's teams who would be interested in particpating in a game against our alumni. We are trying to schedule the game for Saturday, November 29th from 10 am to 11:30 am.
Since our team assignments will not be finalized until January this year, the coaching staff suggested we invite players from both the DI and DII squad from last year. We need to confirm we will have enough players from this year's group of players to be able to field a team to play our alumni. If you did not receive the initial email, please contact Mike Morenz at mmorenz@austin.rr.com As soon as we receive responses to the survey, we will determine if we will be able to continue the tradition of a lacrosse alumni game over Thanksgiving weekend. If so, we will proceed to contact our alumni with an invitation to participate.Used Lacrosse Equipmnet
