Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

What a week we have had…hell, what a month! I am feeling so heartbroken about this Spring season, and I miss being on the field with my fellow coaches, and all of the players.

I wanted to get everyone caught up on where we are at right now. As of today, all of you should have heard about the “Stay-at-Home” ordinance that will take affect in the Jackson County MO, Johnson County KS, KCMO and Wyandotte County, KS…starting tonight at midnight. This is supposed to be in place until at least through April 24th from what I have heard.

So, what does that mean for us? All i can tell you is that our KC Metro Girl’s League has yet to “officially” cancel the Spring 2020 season, but based on this multi-county-wide ordinance starting tomorrow, I can’t see any other decision coming from the league other than a total cancellation. From what I hear, there is already guidance in place to have no more than 10 people gathered together in one place through 15 MAY. I will say that until I hear the official word, I am going to hang on to the tiny sliver of hope that we can at least do something lacrosse-related this spring.

I want to offer my deepest sympathies to the 2020 Seniors who did not get a chance to play out their final season in their high school careers. My heart truly goes out to all of you. I want to also express my sympathies to all the players who will not be able to attend prom this spring, and most of all, to all those players who will not be able to take the ACT (just kidding, I am sure y’all are happy about that one).

Moving forward in the near term (maybe long term), I suggest you stay home to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Also, stay in touch with your lacrosse family members via Facetime, Zoom, etc…don’t forget about each other.

On another note, please be on the lookout for additional communications from me as we get more information. I will suggest you start looking into summer club programs in the hopes that all of these issues are over with by then. If anyone is interested in summer programs, please reach out to me and I’ll give you some additional information.

And if anyone needs anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. If I can help, I’ll be happy to. If not, I’ll try to find someone who can.

Stay home, stay clean…
~Coach Jay
