Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

As we draw closer to the start of the 2017 Spring season, I wanted to get everyone up to speed on what’s coming so we can make sure everything is taken care of before the start of the season:

- 2 more indoor sessions (14 & 21 FEB).
- For those selling coupon books, you must turn in the money to Mr. Rasdall by this Friday 17 FEB.
- Outdoor practices start on Monday 27 FEB at 5pm on the practice field directly behind the tennis courts. Practices will start promptly at 5pm, and will for from 5-7pm Monday – Thursday.
- The first week of outdoor practices will also be our Varsity tryouts. We will announce the Varsity roster at the end of that week.
- Every player must register with the Kansas City Girls LAX website. (www.kcmgla.com) I have attached a “How-to” document. Returning players should already have a profile, and new players will need to create one. When registering, please make sure to register as a LS West player and place the player on the Varsity roster. I will adjust the rosters after tryouts. This is mandatory per the league, so please make sure to complete this ASAP. Any player not registered on this site cannot play in league games
- The first week of games starts the week of 27 MARCH. The first draft of this season’s Varsity schedule came out this morning, with our first game scheduled for Monday 27 MARCH. This schedule is subject to change, but we will prepare the team as if this date is firm.
- We will need every player to have a current sports physical turned in to LSW, and each player’s US Lacrosse membership needs to be current through 1 JUNE 2017. We will reach out to players/parents individually if you are on the “naughty list”.
- Clash of the Titans/Mandatory Parent Meeting – Each player and at least one parent must attend the Clash of the Titans session with Jeremy Hubbard to be qualified to participate in extra-curricular activities. I would expect a large percentage of players have already attended one of these sessions this year (either Fall or Winter) if they already participate in another activity (i.e. volleyball, basketball, choir). I will be conducting a mandatory parent-only meeting following the Spring Clash of the Titans session sometime in March. If you have already attended another Clash session this school year, I would like for the parents to come to Mr. Rasdall’s room later than evening. If you have not, I will need you to attend the Spring Clash session, then have the parent(s) go to Mr. Rasdall’s room right after to attend the parent-only meeting. I will be discussing the upcoming season, coaching expectations, and answering any questions you may have. I will send out more details on dates and times once we know when the Spring Clash session is.

I think that’s it for now…I’ll be sending out more info as it comes along. I am really excited for the start of this season and cannot wait to get started.

~Coach Jay
