High School Practice Schedule 3.3

 On Monday March 8th we begin our regular season practice schedule.  Due to facility limitations and the Erie weather this schedule WILL change often during the first few weeks. Changes will be made by announcements at school when possible or through the email and text distribution system offered by this website.  Please make sure we have your correct email and cell phone numbers to receive instant updates.  Due to the need for a contingency plan in the first few weeks that this schedule is separate from the Master Schedule of games posted on this website.  Finally, whenever this schedule is changed I will update the version number to reflect the current date. Your patience and understanding is appreciated!

    

Physical Requirements - Will you be watching or participating? 

Attached is a list of players who have completed the physical requirement and submitted their form to the Athletic Department as of 3/3/10.  Even if you think you submitted the form, check to verify that the AD's office has processed it and contact the AD's office directly to resolve any discrepancies. 

All in all, it appears that Monday will be a day of reckoning for those players who have not heeded our multiple reminders of the requirement to have a physical in order to begin practice on March 8th.  The official word from the Athletic Department is, as we have known and announced to the boys, “no physical – no participation.”  This is especially sad considering that the requirements were clearly spelled out in the registration packet that all participants parents completed and electronically signed and considering that we have reminded the boys countless times since  LAST FALL!

Now, through some research, I did find that the EPN facility at 2861 26th Street near Peninsula will complete the physical on a walk-in basis if the player takes physical form , Millcreek Packet, $40, and a parent with photo ID.  If you have not already made arrangements with your family physician I encourage you to take action immediately - otherwise you will still be expected to be at practice but will be unable to participate until the physical is complete.  No exceptions and no sob stories will be accepted.

If you are one of the players who has not completed or submitted the physical we will allow you to bring the packet to practice for coach verification before you submit it to the AD's office to prevent the delay that is likely from when you turn it in until it is processed and the list updated by the AD's office.  Take action today!
 

    

Middle School Registration

We are busy and working hard to put together the spring Middle School Lacrosse program.  Additional details about the spring schedule, membership costs, etc will be available emailed to current and past players and posted to this website as it becomes available.  Look for an update in early March if not before.

In the mean time, we are actively looking for enthusiastic individuals to coach at the Middle School Level this spring.  Please email if you would like to learn more about this fun and rewarding opportunity.

Please start spreading the word to your friends about the upcoming season and encourage them to join you on the field this spring!

    

Pasta & Lacrosse Prizes for Top Ticket Sellers

Ticket sales are going on now!  If you need more tickets or have not received tickets please contact ASAP!  Remember that we will offer QCLAX gift certificates to the top 3 ticket sellers (20 ticket minimum any color): 1st is $75, 2nd is $50, and 3rd is $35... and the top 7 ticket sellers will earn an invitation to a special dinner at Coach Powers' house on Monday March 29th after practice!  You know that you want to be there - it is an event!

Pasta & Lacrosse

It is Pasta & Lacrosse time.  The Pasta & Lacrosse event, in it's third year, is our premiere fundraiser for the year and we rely heavily on it's success to balance the budget and to keep individual membership costs low.  The bottom line is simple - if we work hard, work together and do this right it is the only fundraising event that we will need to do this spring.  There are no other fundraisers planned this year - this is our chance so let's make it happen!  So, please do everything that you can to support your P&L event planners: Sheryl McCain, Cathy Mankosa, and Reyne Hartzfeld - they need your help to make this event a success:

• Adults - $8
• 13 years to current college ID - $6
• 6 - 12 years - $4
• 5 and Under - FREEE
