Lady Titan LAX Family,

First, I want to congratulate our LSW Blue Varsity 7v7 team as they went 10-0 in Fall Ball and beat St. Teresa’s Academy 12-9 to win the Fall Ball Championship. This is the first time in our program’s history that we have defeated St. Teresa’s at the varsity level, so it was truly a big day for me. In 10 games, we had 149 GF vs 54 GA…I think it’s safe to say we had a strong fall ball season, and I think we put the league on notice that we are focused on dominating the upcoming Spring season. Our LSW Silver JV 7v7 team beat the St. Thomas Aquinas JV team 18-6, but fell to the Aquinas Varsity team 12-5 in their divisional championship game. I am truly pleased with the growth and progression of that team all throughout the fall ball campaign, and I am confident our JV team will be in league JV championship game for the 4th year in a row come next May. Well done to all the players and parents for braving cold weather conditions to play fall ball. Thank you so much for your participation!

We have a pretty exciting week in front of us this week, so I want to make sure all of you know what’s going on:

• Wednesday 14 NOV – Ashlynn Boydston will be signing her National Letter of Intent at the LSW Field House at 2:45pm. She is committing to play lacrosse at Missouri Valley College. I would like to invite all players, coaches and parents to attend to support her. She has worked very hard on her game to get to the next level, and we are very proud of her.

• Wednesday 14 NOV – New player/parent meeting at the LSW Lecture Hall at 7pm. I recommend that every player and parent attend this meeting if you have never played a game for LSW, even if you have been with us for indoor and/or 7v7. We will be discussing the upcoming spring season, how we run the club, costs, out of town tournaments, practice schedules, etc. If any of you know of a student or parent who may be interested, tell them to attend this meeting.

That is it for what is happening this week. I also wanted to let you know that I have activated the TeamPages Online Registration link so you can get registered online. This will be for data-entry only, as we cannot accept payment until we see you in person. If you can take a few minutes to complete this registration, I would appreciate it. Here’s the link:
https://teampages.com/forms/18869-2019-Spring-Season-Lacrosse-Registration

Here are the in-person Registration dates and times:

• 1 DEC 9am – 1pm in the LSW Lecture Hall (Bateman Hall)
• 5 DEC 5pm – 8pm in the LSW Library & Media Center

• All new players MUST attend one of these in-person sessions to get properly sized for a uniform and choose their jersey number from available numbers and submit payment.
• All returning players MUST attend one of these in-person sessions to submit your payment.

Here are the expected costs for the Spring 2019 season:

• All Players – The annual club due will be increased to $225 (up from $200 last season).
• All Players – There will NOT be a fundraiser this year, so nobody will have to sell coupon books this season. That means there will not be a $120 buyout expense, nor the requirement to sell 30 coupon books at $5 each for the player.
• All Players – US Lacrosse Membership ($35/yr @ www.uslacrosse.org)
• New Players – The purchase of a uniform for $101 plus cost of socks.

That’s it for now…I hope to see you on Wednesday for the Ashlynn’s signing and/or the Informational Meeting.
If I don’t see you, have a very Happy Thanksgiving holiday, and we’ll see you on one of the two registration days.

~Coach Jay
