Registration Now Open!!
 
     
 

Hi Coaches!!!

Thanks for the great response to our 2nd annual middle school lacrosse playday. We are very excited to be hosting the event again this year. Last year was a huge success. Please fill out the attached registration form and send to the school with a check. Please forward to your middle school coaches and any middle school club coaches you know. We will have three divisions this year. Please be as specific as possible when describing the level of you team. Ages of players, experience etc...

If you have a time preference, please note that on the application. I will try to accommodate as best as possible. My primary focus in setting the schedule will be having teams of similar level, age, and experience in the same divisions. Also, let me know if you have players that play for school and club teams. Last year we had a bunch of players play for both teams and that is great!! Again, I will try to juggle that wild card as well.

Each player will receive a T-shirt and a goodie bag filled with items to be determined. Last year's goodie bag included a T-Shirt, water bottle, lanyard and sticker.

If you previously responded that you are in...I have saved you a spot. Just get us the application and check as soon as possible.
Thanks everyone!!!!

The Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse is in the Mid Atlantic Region with the following chapters:
Greater Baltimore, Western Maryland, Chesapeake, Delmarva, Delaware, Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Charlottesville.

The Potomac and Chesapeake Chapters will combine to field 5 teams as the DC Metro Sub-Region for the USL Women’s Division National Tournament.  Players must register online at www.uslacrosse.org.  They must register for the DC Metro Sub Regional Tryout.

NEW FOR 2010: 
When registering for National Tournament tryouts online, players will have to state if they want to stand for the US Lacrosse U-19 team.  On April 25th, we will choose 12 players to represent our chapter at the tryout in August.  Please educate your players about the team and the commitment involved before they decide to tryout.  Players trying out for the U-19 team will participate in National Tournament tryouts as usual.  They will not be identified and they will not do any different drills or stations.  Players trying out for U-19 must bring to the tryout a separate $25 check payable to US Lacrosse.  This is in addition to the DC Metro tryout fee that players will mail in prior to tryouts.

NEW FOR 2010: 
There is no limit to the number of players a coach may nominate, but we ask you to be responsible.  We can only handle a certain number of players and once we hit that number, tryouts will be closed and any new registrants will be place on a waiting list. Players must be on the Varsity team. Registration will open on March 15th, 2010.

All head varsity coaches MUST be members of US Lacrosse by April 1st, 2010.  Memberships MUST be renewed each year.  The number of head coach members determines the number of All Americans, National Tournament Teams, etc.  The MORE members, the MORE All Americans, the MORE National Tournament Teams....MORE MEMBERS=MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR GIRLS. 

JOIN OR RENEW NOW AT www.uslacrosse.org  BE SURE TO DESIGNATE HEAD VARSITY COACH WHEN YOU SIGN UP!!!!
