Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

Last night representatives from each HS Girls LAX team and members of the KC Metro Girls Lacrosse League met on a Zoom conference call to discuss how we want lacrosse to look like for this summer. Here’s what they all came up with:

• Both the league and the team’s reps want the summer ULAX League to morph into a summer version of this Spring’s season. So, what does that mean? Based on the call, here’s how it was all proposed:
• Each club would make every attempt to field both a Varsity and JV team
• Each club would play against the same teams they would have played against during the Spring season. For us, that would be St. Teresa’s, Sion, LSN, Blue Valley and Shawnee Mission. (and maybe a team of college players if they get enough to sign up)
• We would still compete for a Championship just like we would have during the Spring.
• We would still hold practices, but what that actually looks like has yet to be determined as we don’t have permission to be on the fields at LSW.
• This year’s Seniors are eligible to participate.
• We will wear our LSW Uniforms.
• The coaching staff is allowed to coach, which means all available coaches on the staff will be there.

Ok, so those are all the positives…so what’s the catch?

• Each player who signs up will need to pay the entry fee of $115 via the ULAX website. Since ULAX will be running this, they will need to cover fees for the officials and fields, which is why there is a $115 cost. Since the LSW LAX Board is sending out refunds or credits for next season, you should not be in a position where you pay twice for this year.
• There will be no home games at LSW. All games will be played at the Scheel’s Soccer Complex at 135th and Switzer in Overland Park. I believe all games will be played on Thursday evenings, but this may change.
  ULAX is asking that all players who are going to register please complete the registration and payment by 14 MAY. The website is https://ulax.org/kansascity/women/ and choose LS West as your team.

So, that’s all the details. I hope all of you decide to play this summer. So far, we have 5 players who have registered. Just to be clear, this is not a school-sanctioned activity this time, it’s more like a summer league where we play like a high school team. So all the school-type things we would have done may not happen (i.e. Senior Night, End of Season Banquet).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Text me or call me at 816-977-5707 or reply to this email.
