Can't wait to see you all there!

hi All

Please sign up ASAP on Family ID if you are playing lax this spring. It is hard to believe but the season is only three weeks away.

I am super psyched!!

Hey Ladies

I wanted to pass this along to all of you. This is a non profit out of Norwich that we have adopted two amazing pups from (I can't wait for you all to meet them) and they are offering this community service trip in June. Check it out. They will help with fundraisers to defray some of the cost.

Hi Ladies!

Please pass this along to new players and younger siblings.  Getting a few of you involved in this during the winter could be a game changer for our season. Remember, we spend much of preseason remembering stick skills, this is a chance to get a head start on that so that we can be more competitive. FINANCIAL AID IS AVAILABLE, JUST ASK, DON'T BE SHY!!!

EMPOWER LACROSSE WINTER BALL DETAILS

Geared to the High School player, these practices will focus on individual skills, small games and scrimmage situations.  It is a high-school level of play.  However, Empower will allow strong, highly skilled 7th or 8th grade players to participate with a confirmation from the Head Coach to make sure it is a good fit.

We will divide the group into two skill groups, similar to a JV and Varsity set-up.

The Winter 2018 session will take place at The Kimball Union Academy field house in Meriden, NH.  The Barn, their indoor facility, is a state-of-the-art 50 x 80 yard turf practice field.

Program Cost:

$225 (7 sessions) if registration form postmarked by December 20, 2017.

$250 if postmarked on or after December 21, 2017.

Goalies are free, but please complete a registration form.

Hi Ladies,

No pick up lacrosse today, Thursday 8/3/17.  I missed you all this past Tuesday :(.  I did get to watch a little youth pick up football.  Let's plan on one last good lax pick up session before school starts next Tuesday!!! Same time, same place.  Please message me if you are going to come! 603 667-5126.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer.

Hello All

Lacrosse is ON for tonight at 5.  We will NOT have it on Thursday though, I am headed out of town early Friday morning and Sarah has another obligation.

I know I haven't been there at all and I wanted to let you know that it is just because my summer is crazy. I am taking two classes for my Master's degree which are super time consuming, trying to work at my full time job and getting my kids to and from their various camps. It is fairly chaotic. I am leaving Friday for a week for school which is also adding to my mayhem. I hate being too busy to get to you ladies but I know you are in superbly capable hands with Scram.

Sara

Is anyone interested in playing with Hartford on Friday night in West Hartford (a bit of a drive) from 5-6? I will not be around but the Hartford coach asked so I wanted to throw it out there.

Text me if you can 802-281-2325

I am cancelling lacrosse tonight due to the weather. You can still do your stick work if the rain and thunder and lightning stop.  Or at least cradle in the mirror. :)

Hello Ladies

I hope all is well for everyone and that you are enjoying your summers.  Just a reminder that we will continue to be meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays at LHS for stickwork, etc. this includes tonight and goes through August 10.  This Thursday we will go from 5-6 instead of 6:30. If you can't make it please consider doing the below stick workout to keep up with your skills. I encourage ALL of you to do this 3-4 times a week.

See you soon!
