Weekly Status
Happy St. Patrick's Day

It was great to meet all the new parents / players and see all the returning parents / players this past week to review the 2013 season.  

Practice - Practices start this Monday, 18 Mar 2013.  There is only 2 weeks to prepare the team before our first game.  We will be running morning sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5:30 - 6:30 am, and afternoon sessions Monday through Friday to kick off the season.  Morning sessions are focused on conditioning.  No sticks are required for the morning sessions.  Please wear comfortable clothes and sneakers.  All athletes are expected to be on-time for school.  The girls and boys locker rooms will be available for use after the morning practice session.  Tardiness to school will not be tolerated.  Afternoon sessions are dependent on the availability of the field.  Our regular outdoor practice time is 3:45 - 6 pm.  If we are indoors this week, our time will be from 6 - 7:30 pm.  Please be prepared for both indoor / outdoor sessions in the afternoon.  An announcement will be made prior to the end of school to inform you of the time for the afternoon session.

Paperwork - Please provide all required paperwork to Coach Ken, Coach Mark or drop it off in Mr. Adham's office in the girls lacrosse mail slot.  Paperwork is due ASAP.  All athletes must be current with their annual physical (i.e. must be dated after 18 Mar 2012).  

If lacrosse is your first sport this year you need to provide the following:

• Acceptance of Code of Conduct (Last page of Athletic Handbook)
• RIIL assumption of Risk

All athletes MUST provide the following:

• NHS Pre-Participation Form

Links to these forms are provided on the website (http://www.nhsblogspot.com). 

Fundraiser - Proceeds from the fundraiser are used for team jackets, uniforms, training gear, T-shirts, and to offset costs for items the team is interested in getting or doing throughout the season.  We are asking all athletes to sell a minimum of 5 cards by 27 March 2013 to meet our minimum goal.   Each additional card sold by an individual athlete will take 20% off the cost of that athlete's sweatshirts / sweatpants the girls typically order each season.  If an athlete sells all 5 additional cards, their sweatshirt / sweatpants are FREE!  We are allowing an additional week so each athlete has sufficient time to sell the additional 5 cards.

Please call / Email if you have any questions / concerns.

Play On!
