Saying Goodbye to 2009
I think it was a good season. Many victories both on and off the field. As a developmental league, I can easily say that everyone did some form of development. Lacrosse is a great game to play and the lacrosse community is a great group to be a participant.
Just last weekend during the Camel Jam at Conn College, I ran into an old friend of mine from college. He works in Providence and has 2 girls and 2 boys. It was great to reconnect.
As you get older you will find more opportunities to become a bigger part of this community and I suggest that you take the opportunity. The world you enter is that of friendship, compettition and mutual respect. This weekend I was going to go to DC to with my daughter participate in the Capital Cup Tournament (her portion was rained out). I was amazed at the number of teams that were participating from up and down the east coast, over 250 of them. I was meeting both of my brothers (my sister in law coaches another team participating in the tournament) for a great weekend. However, sometimes the weather does not cooperate.
Summer is here and a great time to get outdoors and practice your skills. There are plenty of camps both local and sleep away. Some are listed on our website, others can be found on the US Lacrosse website. We have also arranged some time at the high school on Tuesdays and Thursdays for some pick up lacrosse. You will see more on that in future correspondence.
I hope everyone had a great time at the Picnic this year. If you di not get your trophy or medal please see your coach. If your trophy was in disrepair let me know so we can get it corrected. If you found and items that are not yours, please post ont he lost and found. If you are missing any items look to the lost and found. We want to use this forum to get itmes back to their rightful owners.
If you are looking to donate or sell items please use the swap and sell section of the website. I would love to see us as a community use the website for more of these types of activities.
Once agian I would like to thank all of the coaches for volunteering this year. They all did a great job. I would also like to thank the Board of Directors for all of thier efforts, especially Michele Isnard for keeping me sane and informed. If you see her in town give her an extra thank you.
Look for more information in the future and keep you account up-to-date so you get all of our messages. Enjoy your summer.
Yours in Lacrosse.
