2018 Varsity Schedule is Out!!

Posted by Jay Hertzler at Feb 21, 2018 2:44PM PST ( 0 Comments )

Lady Titan LAX Family,

The final version of the Varsity Schedule is out. The dates will be the same for the JV games, but will be either before or after the Varsity game depending on which venue we play at. Once the JV schedule is out, I’ll share with the club. I have attached the schedule as a PDF file.
Please make note of some of the early start times (i.e. STA, Sion)…these are venues that do not have lights, so they want to play the Varsity game first while there is still brighter daylight, then the JV game afterwards.
As for transportation to the away games, this will be a topic of discussion at the Mandatory Parent meeting once we get it scheduled.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Lady Titan LAX Family.

Officially, our Spring 2018 season starts in one weeks from Monday!!! Remember to take care of all the housekeeping items before 26 FEB comes around. It will be here before you know it, and once we start on 26 FEB, there will be no slowing down until Mid-May. Our schedule is about 90% complete. Currently, our first game looks to be against the defending champions (St. Teresa’s Academy) at STA on 28 March. Because their field does not lights, we can expect Varsity to start at around 4:30pm and JV at around 5:45pm. Once confirmed, I’ll let everyone know.

Here’s what we have going on for the week:
Tuesday 20 FEB – Final indoor session of the winter at 8pm at Lakeland.

Be on the lookout for the annual mandatory parent’s meeting. I am shooting for a date on the week of 5 MARCH with a 6pm start. Once I have that date & place confirmed, I’ll let everyone know. Because we discuss the upcoming season’s expectations from the coaching staff for both players and parents, i really need at least one parent for every player present at this meeting. Parents only….no players.

Optional Concussion Baseline Testing has been scheduled for 20 FEB right after school in Mrs. Adams room. The cost is $5.75 per player. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here are the last of the housekeeping items that we are NOT 100% complete on:

- Every player MUST have a current physical on file with the school sports office dated on or after 1 FEB 2017. I have heard that the office will stop accepting paper copies of sports physicals on 1 FEB, and all physicals will have to be scanned and uploaded on the MSHSAA PRIViT site. (https://lswtitans-mo.e-ppe.com/index.jspa). Please take care of this ASAP if you need to get a physical. Players will not be allowed on the practice field on 26 FEB unless a valid physical is on file.

- Make any payments still owed to the club to Mr. Rasdall.

- Money for the fundraiser coupon books is DUE BY 5pm on 26 FEB. If a player still owes money by 5pm on 26 FEB, she will not be allowed to participate in outdoor practices until payment has been turned in. Only 8 more days left to get this taken care of.

- The KC Metro Girl’s League requires that every player registers on the KC Metro League website. The league uses this to keep track of every player in the league for US Lacrosse. This has nothing to do with TeamPages. For new players, you’ll have to setup a new profile with an email address and password. Please let me know if you need anything. Go to www.kcgirlslax.com, click the big green “Register Now” button, and register for the LSW team. As of this morning, we have 24 of 36 players registered. We are almost there!

On 4 MARCH, we have committed to helping with on-field training of new officials. We will be participating in a full-field scrimmage with the Olathe Ravens from 3pm to 4pm at the Blue Valley NW football stadium (13260 Switzer Rd, Overland Park, KS 66213) All players are welcome to participate….we will wear our practice pinneys as our uniform.

On Monday 26 FEB, outdoor practices start. We will practice Mon-Thurs from 5pm to 7pm (or dark, whichever comes first).

Feel free to email me or text me at 816-977-5707 should you need any help.

Have a great week! Stay warm! Season is almost here!

Hello Lady Titan LAX Family.

WOW! What a great SuperBowl game. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now, we start looking to the season starting. Officially, our Spring 2018 season starts 3 weeks from today!!! Let’s use these next 3 weeks to take care of all the housekeeping items so we can concentrate on getting ready for the upcoming season when 26 FEB comes around.

Here’s what we have going on for the week:
Monday 5 FEB – No Team Activities
Tuesday 6 FEB – Indoor session at 8pm at Lakeland. The news is calling for some snow in the late afternoon. I will be monitoring the weather on Tuesday and will send a Teampages text message by 6pm to let everyone know if the indoor session is canceled or not.
Wednesday 7 FEB – No Team Activites
Thursday 8 FEBLSW LAX Board Meeting at 7pm @ LSW. This is an optional board meeting. Everyone is invited if you are interested on how the club is run, where the money is spent, if you want to offer your opinion, etc…
Fri – Sun (9 FEB – 11 FEB) – No Team Activities

Now we need to make sure everyone takes care of these housekeeping items:
- We are at 100% complete with either a player or parent joining Teampages. Thank you to everyone for taking care of this.
- We are 100% complete with every player registered online on Teampages. Thank you to everyone for taking care of this.
- Every player MUST have a current physical on file with the school sports office dated on or after 1 FEB 2017. I have heard that the office will stop accepting paper copies of sports physicals on 1 FEB, and all physicals will have to be scanned and uploaded on the MSHSAA PRIViT site.

Hello Lady Titan LAX Family.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Now that we are halfway through our indoor sessions at Lakeland, it’s time that we integrate the new players with the veteran players for drills and scrimmages for the next 4 indoor sessions. I am excited to see how well the new players are going to do.

Here’s what we have going on for the week:
Monday 29 JAN – No Team Activities
Tuesday 30 JAN – Indoor session at 8pm at Lakeland.
Wed – Sun (31 JAN – 4 FEB) – No Team Activities

Now for some housekeeping items:
- Make sure every player and/or parent has “joined” our team on the Teampages website. If you are receiving this email, then this step has already been completed…so check on your teammates because not everyone has done this. We are almost 100% complete with this step. Thank you to all who have taken care of this.
- Make sure every player is registered online on the Teampages site. If you haven’t taken care of this step, here’s the link: (https://www.teampages.com/forms/16291-2018-Spring-Lacrosse-Registration-)
- Every player MUST have a current physical on file with the school sports office dated on or after 1 FEB 2017. I have heard that the office will stop accepting paper copies of sports physicals on 1 FEB, and all physicals will have to be scanned and uploaded on the MSHSAA PRIViT site. (https://lswtitans-mo.e-ppe.com/index.jspa). Please take care of this ASAP if you need to get a physical.
- Make any payments still owed to the club to Mr. Rasdall.
- Money for the Fundraiser is DUE BY 5pm on 26 FEB. If a player still owes money by 5pm on 26 FEB, she will not be allowed to participate in outdoor practices until payment has been turned in.
- ***IMPORTANT*** One last housekeeping item. The KC Metro Girl’s League requires that every player registers on the KC Metro League website.

For new players, you’ll have to setup a new profile with an email address and password. Please let me know if you need anything.

That’s it for now…not a great deal of lacrosse going on, but there are quite a bit of housekeeping items that need your attention, so please use this time to take care of business. Feel free to email me or text me at 816-977-5707 should you need any help.

Have a great week!
