Happy Monday Lady Titan LAX Family,

First, let me say how proud the coaching staff is with the performance that the JV team had this past weekend in Columbia. It was a great showing considering that the majority of the girls on the field had only 1 game under their belt prior to the weekend. I see so much improvement in our JV team, and it’s not going to be long before we are very competitive in every game we play. Let’s keep up the hard work.

We have a VERY busy week planned. Here’s what’s coming up this week.
– Wednesday 20 APR – Varsity-only home game vs Blue Valley @ LSW. Gametime is 5:30pm. Players on the field and warming up by 4:45pm.
- Thursday 21 APR – Games vs LS North at LSN. JV @ 5:30, V @ 6:45. Everyone be on the field by 4:45pm.

– Friday 22 APR:
– We leave for STL for the Varsity Tournament. I have received permission from LSW for all the players and managers participating in the tournament to have an excused absence for Friday. If a player was not invited to play, but wants to make the trip to cheer on the team, then make sure to call into the school to excuse the absence. We don’t have to meet up in the parking lot prior to the drive. I have asked all the girls to make sure they have rides accounted for, so just make sure to get to the hotel and link up with the team in the hotel lobby prior to our first game.
– We have a 4:30pm game at Westminster Christian Academy. I would like to meet in the hotel lobby at around 3pm, and then leave by 3:15pm for WCA. I expect a 20-30 min drive to the field location.
We are also planning a team dinner after the game. I figure we play, get back to the hotel, hopefully the girls shower, then head to Llywelyn’s Pub for dinner. I will coordinate with Llywelyn’s for around 7pm.

- Saturday 22 APR:
– We have an 8:00am game at St. Joseph’s Academy vs Lafayette. I would like to meet in the hotel lobby at around 6:30am (I know, it’s gonna hurt getting up that early), leave by 6:45am for a 30 min drive to SJA. I figured we could return to the hotel after the 8am game.
– We have a 2:00pm game at Westminster Christian Academy vs SJA. We will have to be checked out of the hotel, and meet in the hotel lobby at 12:45pm. The tournament directors are supplying a free lunch to the players/coaches, so if you want to get to WCA sooner to grab a bite, please let me know. I cannot guarantee the free food will extend to parents/family members…you may want to put together a “Plan B” if it’s not free.
– Once done, we go home.
