Good Morning Lady Titan LAX Family,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We have a busy week ahead, so i want to make sure everyone knows what is coming up:

• Tuesday 12 NOV – Girl’s Lacrosse Informational Meeting at 7pm in LSW Bateman Hall. This meeting is designed to inform anyone who may be interested in playing lacrosse. We want to talk to anyone who has NOT played a single outdoor Spring season with us…the coaching staff will discuss the game, the team, upcoming activities, the cost, the equipment, etc…also, if you know of someone who may be interested and wants to know more about it, share the time/place information so they can make it to the meeting.

• Wedesday 13 NOV – Danielle Cobbett signs her National Letter of Intent. This will be National Signing Day, and Danielle Cobbett will be signing her letter to commit to playing college lacrosse at Aurora University. The ceremony will be in the LSW Field House right after school (2:45pm) If you can make it, come to the ceremony wearing Lacrosse swag, and show your support for our Varsity Team Captain! Congrats, Dani!

That’s it for this week…please note that Registration for the upcoming Spring season is quickly approaching. We would love to have some volunteers to help out as it can get busy as parents & players come in to register. Here are the details again:

Spring 2020 Registration
Here are the two dates:
- Saturday 7 DEC: 9am – 1pm in the LSW Library is Day 1 of Registration for the 2020 Spring season.
- Wednesday 11 DEC: 5pm – 8pm in the LSW Library is Day 2 of Registration for the 2020 Spring season (in case you could not make it to Day 1).
New players will need to try on uniforms to get properly sized, so please be ready to try on the uniform when you arrive. New players will also have the opportunity to chose their jersey number from available numbers when they arrive.
For the new players who will be joining our family for the first time, here’s a list of fees you can expect so you can be better prepared for registration:
IMPORTANT – PAYMENT FOR REGISTRATION IS VIA CASH OR CHECK ONLY, NO CREDIT CARDS.
- Annual Club Due = $225
- Cost of Uniform of which you will own (skirt and reversible top) = $102 ($58 for the top, $44 for the skirt)
- Socks = $10/pair (we recommend 2 pairs)
- US Lacrosse Membership = $35/year. This will need to be done at www.uslacrosse.org and pay via credit card and must be valid through 1 JUNE 2020.
Also, we are planning on having Spiritwear available for ordering or for purchase (as well as the favorite swag item, the Boathouse jacket) so bring extra money. Don’t forget that our online spiritwear store in now active and taking orders until 17 NOV. Here’s the link:
https://lswlacrosse2019.itemorder.com/sale

Also, before the start of the Spring season (last week of FEB), each player will be required to have a valid Sports physical on file on the LSR7 PRIVT website. (The sports office will not accept paper copies). Any player without a valid sports physical on file will NOT be allowed to step on the field when the Spring season officially starts. If you have a current physical on file, please confirm with Monte Seabaugh in the Sports office that your physical will be valid for Spring 2020.
I have attached the “how-to” document for you on how to upload the physical into PRIVT. Also, here’s the website: https://lswtitans-mo.e-ppe.com/index.jspa

One last item:
We are placing our helmet order this Wednesday. If you asked for a helmet, but haven’t paid us, we will NOT order you one unless you pay us by Wednesday. If you want a helmet, please let me know ASAP and pay me (or Coach Ernie) by Wednesday, or you will not get yours ordered. Text me at 816-977-5707 with any questions.
They are regularly priced at $150, Coach Ernie negotiated them down to $105.

That’s it for now…there was quite a bit of information this week. If there are any action items you can take care of prior to Registration (i.e. US Lacrosse membership, sports physical), please try to get those things taken care of so you don’t have to worry about it later.

Stay warm!

Lady Titan LAX Family,

The online store for LSW Lacrosse Spiritwear is now open. The store will be open from today through 17 NOV . We will then close the store to allow for our vendor to process orders for delivery before Christmas. So if anyone is interested in buying LSW LAX Spiritwear as Christmas gifts, now is the time!

Here’s the link:

https://lswlacrosse2019.itemorder.com/sale

We will then do a second ordering window from 7 DEC – 22 DEC for anyone who was not trying to get the spiritwear in before Christmas.

Happy Shopping!!!

Lady Titan LAX Family,

If you are interested in playing in the ULAX Indoor lacrosse league this winter, the deadline to sign up is this Sunday. On the Registration page, you can choose Lee’s Summit West as your team in the drop-down menu.

Here’s the email I just received from the league today:

Hey ULAXers! This is a reminder that the registration deadline for our inaugural women’s indoor league is just a few days away. Register soon and let’s bring a solid women’s winter league (open to high school players, too!) to KC. Register with a team, group or as a solo free agent. Visit the league page for details and to register today.

Lady Titan LAX Family,

I was just reminded that November’s LSW LAX Board meeting was re-scheduled for Wednesday 6 NOV at 7pm in the LSW Library.

This is an optional meeting for any non-Board members, but it’s a great way to get connected with the group of parents from both the Boy’s and Girl’s teams who are making the decisions on how our club is run. Currently we are in the planning stages for the Spring 2020 Registration in early December, and the Board would appreciate some volunteer help during registration. If you are willing to donate your time and talent during registration, please let me or Ronda Brown know. Some of the things we will need help with are: collecting payments, welcoming people when they arrive, selling Spiritwear, answering questions, etc…

Sorry for the short notice.

~Coach Jay

Good Morning Lady Titan LAX Family,

With Fall lacrosse activities over, we are going to move into some down time. I encourage all of those players who did the Fall activities with us to find a way to keep a stick in your hand, and find a way to get some conditioning in over the holiday season so you aren’t completely out of shape by the time we start back up in January.

Here’s a list of events that are coming up, so please mark your calendars:

Winter ULAX Indoor Lacrosse League: Signups are going on right now, and the deadline is this week. This indoor league will NOT be coached by the LSW coaching staff like Fall Ball was. It will be more like “pick-up” games. There are already a handful of LSW players signed up. Here’s some text from an email from the club that is running the league:

Hey ULAXers! This is a reminder that the registration deadline for our winter indoor league is just one week away. There is still time to register with a team, group or as a solo free agent but be sure to register soon if you want to get your lax on this winter. Players who register after the deadline will be charged a late fee and won’t be guaranteed a spot with their preferred group/team. Looking forward to getting out there in just over a month!

LSW Girl’s Lacrosse Informational Meeting – 12 NOV at 7pm at LSW Bateman Hall:
This meeting is for first-time players and parents who have yet to experience a Spring season with us. We will be discussing the club, team, Varsity tryouts, how we manage the team during the season, fees, etc…and will also answer any questions. I would also ask that if you know of anyone who may be interested in joining our team, please pass along the date/time/place to them so they can attend the meeting.

LSW Lacrosse Board Meeting – 13 NOV at 7pm at LSW (Bateman Hall or Library):
This is an optional meeting for any non-Board members, but it’s a great way to get connected with the group of parents from both the Boy’s and Girl’s teams who are making the decisions on how our club is run. Currently we are in the planning stages for the Spring 2020 registrations in early December, and the Board would appreciate some volunteer help during registration. If you are willing to donate your time and talent during registration, please let me or Ronda Brown know. Some of the things we will need help with are: collecting payments, welcoming people when they arrive, selling Spiritwear, answering questions, etc…

Spring 2020 Registration
Here are the two dates:
- Saturday 7 DEC: 9am – 1pm is Day 1 of Registration for the 2020 Spring season. We are in the process of reserving a location within LSWHS…we will either be in the Library or Bateman Hall.
- Wednesday 11 DEC: 5pm – 8pm is Day 2 of Registration for the 2020 Spring season (in case you could not make it to Day 1).
New players will need to try on uniforms to get properly sized, so please be ready to try on the uniform when you arrive. New players will also have the opportunity to chose their jersey number from available numbers when they arrive.

IMPORTANT – PAYMENT IS VIA CASH OR CHECK ONLY, NO CREDIT CARDS. (If we acquire the means to accept credit card payments between now and registration, I’ll let everyone know.)

One last thing: We currently have 12 players who are interested in helmets. Coach Ernie has been able to get a significant discount already, but wants to talk our supplier down even more. If you are interested in a helmet, this may be a good time to get one. If you tell me you are interested, we will order one for you and will expect payment, so please know that if you reach out to me you are “committing” to buying one.

That’s it for now. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to text me at 816-977-5707 or email me.
