Thursday, March 3rd, Guerin Scrimmages

Hey Hey Lacrosse Families!

We want to give everyone an overview of how Thursday night will work.

First off, we had previously indicated during the Call Out Meeting in December and then again during the Mother's Tea on Sunday that we would provide a "Lacrosse 101" seminar in conjunction with Thursday's scrimmages.  Although we want to put that off a bit, we will have a coach in the stands during the full field portion of the scrimmages to highlight what's happening on the field, explain what's being called, and answer any questions.  In a separate communication, we will announce a controlled classroom session to show some of the intricacies of the game.  That will occur either next Tuesday before the Chatard scrimmages or on Saturday, the 19th, in between our games when we are hosting a couple of other teams that will also play one another.

The outline for Thursday night is as follows:


We should be at school, prepping to take the field with our white pinnies on the outside at 6:45p  We take the field at 7:00p.  Everyone whether a 9 year player or an 8 day player will play Thursday night in a venue appropriate to their experience level.
