Meeting Cancelled
January 17, 2012 Filed in: News Update
OK, my better judgement says that with the dire predictions for the Apocalyptic Storm of the Century about to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting residents of Seattle, we will be postponing tomorrow night’s meeting. As soon as we get it rescheduled we’ll try again…
On another note, the Club will be ordering some team jackets, seen here. The price will be $75.00. We are now accepting prepaid orders. The deadline for ordering is February 10th. Payment
If you want one, please drop an email to our Swag Coordinator with the word “jacket” in the Subject line. Let her know what size, quantity, etc and she’ll let you know where to send your check, Unfortunately at this time we cannot accept credit card payments for this item.
Weather Update

Not to sound too much like a scaredy-cat, but we are watching the weather closely and will make a determination sometime on Tuesday weather (pun intended) or not we’ll reschedule the meeting to a later date.
Reminds me of when I lived in Atlanta years ago…the forecast called for a off-chance of snow, and the schools panicked and sent all their kids home by 10am…never did snow…
All Parent Meeting This Wednesday!
January 14, 2012 Filed in: News Update | Schedules
A reminder that this coming Wednesday, January 18th, is the required meeting for all parents/guardians.
We will start promptly at 7pm at the old Meany School Annex building near the Miller Community center. The meeting is in the building northeast of the athletic field. Since parking will be tight, we suggest you try and park on E. John Street and walk across the field to the Meany School Annex Building.
This meeting is an opportunity to give you important information regarding this season’s schedule and expectations for all players. Coach Kelly will also be there to answer any questions. We will also be collecting hard copies of the signed Liability Waivers which need to accompany the team to each game under league rules. There will be some copies available at the meeting, but please print and bring your own if possible.
Please understand that no player will be allowed to start regular season practices without these documents. Regular season practices begins February 27th, 2012 at Genesee Field.
Starting this week, on Tuesday, January 17th, the Captain’s sessions will move to SODO Arena Sports on East Marginal Way. It will start promptly at 4pm and run until 5:30pm. Please try and arrive early enough to get suited up before the session starts…
Available at this session, the newly-minted Garfield Lacrosse Practice Tee is available for purchase. Price is a very reasonable $12, with all proceeds going to the Club. Some of the guys already have them…
Registration remains open. If you still need to sign up, now would be a good time to do so. Go to our Registration Info Page to get going. Remember, if you signed up last year, all you need to do is log-in and click the Register button by the player’s name.
