  • Our first Green Day Practice is next Tuesday, 10/8, from 7-9pm in the stadium.

Week of 10/15

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse,

My apologies for the delayed weekly email. I had some information that I wanted to include that I wasn’t able to gather until today.

Here is how the rest of the week looks:

Wednesday 10/16 – Off

Thursday 10/17 – Green Day 7-9pm (Stadium)

Friday 10/18 – Lifting 6:50-8:30am

Other Items:

  • We have made a google form to gather information about spirit pack sizes for the spring. We always pre order items so that players receive their gear when they make the team, and do not need to wait weeks for the orders to arrive. Please fill out the form to the best of your knowledge. We want to be clear that by filling out sizes in no way guarantees a player a spot in the program. We do this to just gage an estimate of what we need to order.
  • As we have done for years now, our HOLIDAY TEAM STORE is now up and running. Back by popular demand we have included top name brand items like Lululemon, Nike, Travis Mathews, Eddie Bauer and more. This store is not mandatory in any way. We like to make exclusive items available to families and fans to purchase as holiday gifts so that you can go out and support our program in style!

That is all for now! Be on the look out in a few weeks for Fall Brawl, Turkey Shootout and St. Johns Tournament sign up information.

ALL IN,
