I just wanted to thank everyone for participating in our program this fall.  All our teams were great and all the girls were a lot of fun to coach.  We ended the season on a high note with all our age groups. 

• The Peaches played great in their final game. 
• The Lemons pulled out a 1 goal victory over the Limes for the U-11 Championship game.
• The Blueberries came from behind to defeat the Strawberries by 1 goal in OT for the U13 Championship game.. 
• The Bananas defeated the Apples by 1 goal in the U15 Championship game. 

I want to encourage the girls to continue to practice their skills over the winter.  We will send out announcements for any upcoming clinics and opportunities to play lacrosse.  I hope to see everyone playing in the future. 

Parents,

I have listed the emails for each teams coach for anyone who needs to contact them. Please let your coaches or me know if your daughter will NOT be able to play in her weekend game by Wednesday of each week.

Parents,

Please inform your daughters at Northwestern to store her equipment on practice days, in the girls locker room. They can store it in the shower stalls or underneath the benches of their PE lockers. They can change in the locker rooms after school and walk to practice. They are not allowed to leave their equipment at the front office.

Thank You!

This Saturday we will be having "The Fruit Bowl" to kick off our fall season of games.  The Fruit Bowl will take place at Old Milton HS lower field (86 School Drive Alpharetta GA 300004).  We will be scrimmaging our teams against each other to give the girls an opportunity to experience a game before the fall season games begin on September 18th.  

Why are we calling it the "Fruit Bowl"? 
Each of our teams this fall will be given a team name that is the name of a fruit, therefore we named our kickoff scrimmage the "Fruit Bowl".  We are currently working on team rosters and they will be sent out by Wednesday evening. 

Game Schedules
The game schedules will be sent out as soon as they are available, (probably late this week or early next). 

Saturday's scrimmage times
U-9's: 9:00 - 9:45  "Peaches"
U-11's:  9:00 - 10:00  "Lemons", "Limes", "Grapes"
U-13's:  10:00 - 11:00  "Strawberries", "Rasberries", "Blueberries"
U-15's:  11:15 - 12:15  "Apples", "Bananas"

All players will receive jerseys in practice this week. If you didn't get your jersey, we will have it at for you on Saturday.  We hope to receive the game shorts this week and will distribute them if we receive them.  If we do not, girls should wear Navy or Black shorts to play this weekend. 

2010 Girls Fall Lacrosse Program

The Eagle Stix coaching staff will have a fall girls lacrosse program for girls in the Milton feeder schools in grades 2-8.   During the fall program, girls will have the opportunity to attend skill development sessions, team practices, and games.  The coaching staff is looking forward to another great fall season and an opportunity to help girls develop their skills and knowledge of the game while having an amazingly fun time! 

Dates of Training camp, practices, and games

Training Camp:  The fall program will begin with a training camp for all players in the fall program, which will focus on skill instruction and player evaluations.  Players will be evaluated during the training camp and placed on a team to participate in the games, based on their age and level of play.  The dates of the training camp will be August 31, September 1,7,8.  The time of the training camp for grades 2-5 will be from 4:30-6:00; the times for grades 6-8 will be 6:30-8:00. Training camp will be at Milton high school's lacrosse practice field (located by the softball/baseball fields) next to Freemanville Rd.

  Practices (U-9, U-11, U-15 Teams)
U-9, U-11 will practice on Wednesday’s beginning September 15th from 4:30-5:45.

U-13 teams will practice on Wedensday's beginning September 15th from 6:00-7:30.

U-15 teams will practice on Friday's beginning September 17th from 4:30-6:00.

Practice Cancellations
There may be cancellations due to weather.  An announcement will be made via e-mail for any cancellations that may occur. 

Team Selections
Coaches will evaluate players during training camp and place the girls on a team with their appropriate age level.  If there are enough players in each age group for more than one team, we will have more than one team for that age level.  Players will be placed by coach’s evaluations only.  We can not accommodate for carpooling or place girls based on parent evaluations.  We would only consider playing a girl at a higher age level if there is a need to balance out the numbers for team rosters and if the girl demonstrates the skills to play at the higher age level. 

Game dates, times, locations:  Games will be played on Weekends beginning September 18 through October.  The game times will take place between mornings through mid-afternoon.  Game times and locations will be announced at a later date.  Games will take place at fields in the John’s Creek or Roswell area. There will be a schedule with game dates, times, and locations available after the training camp. 

Is attendance at practices and games mandatory?
Girls are not required to attend all practices and games during the fall season but should try to attend as much as possible to get the most out of the experience.
