Lady Titan LAX Family,

This morning I received the final word that I had been dreading. The KC Metro Girls Lacrosse league has officially canceled the season for this Spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On behalf of the LSW Lacrosse Board and the Girls LAX Coaching staff, our hearts go out to our 2020 Seniors who never got the opportunity to enjoy their final moments of glory on the field during their final season of their high school careers. Without a doubt, I wish it could have been different…but i completely understand the league’s decision to cancel Ultimately the safety of everyone involved, from the players to the coaches to the parents, is paramount.

To our Seniors, we will miss all of you. Thank you for everything.

So what now? I recommend everyone who is planning on coming back for next season to do the following:

1. Continue to stay in shape as best you can. Run, lift weights, swim, etc…the more conditioned you are when you return, the less time we have to spend on getting you in shape.
2. Make sure you put your stick in your hands a couple of times a week. Practice cradling, have a catch with someone, do wall-ball, throw against a bounce-back, etc…getting touches and reps is extremely valuable.
3. Stay in touch with each other…continue to use social media, Facetime, Zoom, etc…just make sure to talk to each other. Use each other to lean on during these crazy times. The social aspect of this team, this lacrosse family, is what makes us so strong. Let’s not lose that during this shutdown.

That’s it for now…if I hear of any summer lacrosse programs, I’ll be sure to share that information with everyone. Try your best to stay safe. Try your best to keep your spirits up. I look forward to the time I can stand on the field with all of you again.

~Coach Jay
