Hello Lady Titan LAX Family,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It feels like summer is here a week or two early. If you are watching the forecasts, you’ll see that we are in the 90’s all week with the hottest day of the week being Thursday. My best advice is to hydrate, hydrate and hydrate some more. What we don’t need is a heat-related health issue while we are playing. Play hard, sub often, and drink plenty of fluids.

Here are the game times for this week.
- Thursday 18 JUNE @ 6pm. Goal Diggers (Varsity) vs Blue Valley. Field #10
- Thursday 18 JUNE @ 7pm. Mesh Addicts (JV) vs LSN/BV. Field #11.

Danielle Cobbett will be picking up the game pinnies from the league representative prior to the first games to hand out to the players.

Also, remember that the LSW Coaching Staff will not be holding organized practices this week, and we will not be on the sidelines for these games until we are cleared by LSR7. Any practices this week and moving forward will be organized by the players, and communication of the practice details will come via group-text from the players.

On Thursday, if there are any parents that are willing to stand on the sidelines to help with subs (which the players can do on their own) and with monitoring of heat-related issues, please let me know. Make sure everyone brings plenty of fluids.

Below is an email from the ULAX league and their COVID guidelines. Please give it a good read so you’ll understand what’s going on when we get there on Thursday.
