The Spring Season is now well underway and there is a lot of great news to put out. We now have more kids playing in the Spring House League than last year, we hit another milestone on our capital improvement project with the installation of the scoreboard at the Box, and we have big news from the Webster Alumni program.
One of the most special news items is the kick off of the high school season on two brand new turf fields at Thomas and Schroeder. The turf referendum was the result of many lacrosse families whose kids were graduating or about to graduate. For years, Webster Lacrosse kids played their “home games” in Irondequoit.
It has been a pure joy to have true home games and practices without buses, keeping the kids on campus where they belong. As mentioned, the Turf Capital Improvement project was spearheaded by several Webster Lacrosse families who had no hope of ever seeing their kids play on the turf other than maybe an alumni game and yet, they did it anyway. A great statement of Webster Lacrosse families just giving back, plain and simple.
The high school teams kicked off the first ever Varsity game on the turf with a rivalry game for the home opener at Schroeder. Since then both teams played grueling schedules, against the best teams in Section V. Both teams have taken some lumps along the way, but never backed down from a fight. The seniors are playing with heart for that last play and the underclassmen are showing they can play at a surprisingly high level.
The high school programs will meet for a rematch at the Webster Thomas “T” on Saturday Night, May 12,2012 for a “Prime Time Game” on the turf at 7:30 P.M. The youth programs will have an opportunity to play at half time. All are welcome for what should be the first of many hard fought games.
From the youth and scholastic programs, we are finalizing plans for the summer tournament season. Keep an eye out for further announcements. Registration is online along with a full tournament schedule. Please register and pay as soon as possible.
As noted, the Club completed installation of the Scoreboard at the Box in early May. This completes Phase II of the Box Rehabilitation Project. Another example of people giving back to the Webster Lacrosse Community. We have also purchased some additional pellets to spread on the turf surface to rehab some of the areas that are getting a little thin…so the Box should be good to go when league play starts there in a few weeks.
On 6/1/2012 we will be holding our second annual Webster Lacrosse night with the Rattlers. Block tickets are available for purchase for $10.00 a piece on line. To buy tickets, go to our Online Registration tab. We hope to have a Webster Lacrosse Tent to tailgate before the game where we will hand out tickets. The little guys will be playing at half time.
For the “rising” High School and Middle School kids, plans for “Summer Time at The Box” are set. The first Titan Box League games are set from June 2nd and for the Warriors, the first box games begin on June 15th. Both leagues will wrap up with a Championship the last week of July. Registration is open for any boy who is in 6th through 11th grade (rising 7th grade through 12th grade).
No experience is necessary to play in the “Summertime at the Box” leagues for either side of Town. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you played, Varsity, JV or Modified or whether you tried out and didn't make the team. Maybe you played in the house league when you were younger and want to have some fun this summer. We have some rental equipment available so register and have some fun. Summertime at the box is well organized, its competitive and it's a lot of fun.
For graduating Seniors, this is a reminder that applications for the Webster Lacrosse Club Scholarship are due by May 30, 2012. You are required to provide an essay, transcripts and letters of recommendation to the Scholarship Chairman. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. If you have put the work in over the years, you deserve the respect. You have earned it. It is an invitation to join an elite fraternity of past alumni who simply "got it done."
The Webster Classic is set for June 30, 2012. It is shaping up to be one of the most competitive tournaments of the summer, particularly at the U15 level. Some of the best teams from Section V, IV, and VI are coming and it is becoming one of the marquee events of the summer. As always, please mark this on your calendars, we will need a lot of volunteers to make it another great event.
For our graduating seniors and returning college kids, the Club is running another College Night program starting on 6/4/2012. Games will run from 6:30-8:30 P.M. at Semmler Fields. It will consist of throwing sticks and running games at Semmler Fields. We will also be running an Adult Box Lacrosse League and be holding our first ever Box Lacrosse tournament this summer from 6/30 to7/1/2012. It is being organized by WLC alumni Steve Hutton and Tom Costanza. All alumni and adults are encouraged to register a team and have some fun.
Another one of the most exciting announcements we have is that plans are underway to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of lacrosse in the Town of Webster in the Spring of 2014. While many new programs around the greater Rochester area are springing up all over, Webster boasts a long heritage of lacrosse that began in 1964. We are looking to celebrate this with a “Webster Lacrosse Day” in May 2014 by inviting past Alumni, Coaches, Athletic Directors, All Americans, and Past Championship teams. We are considering a Banquet, Golf outing, and Awards Ceremony. Ideas are flying and community input is welcome. It should be a memorable event.
But before we get there, we will take stock of the moment before it quickly passes us by, as it usually does, and take in all that this season has to offer. To our new families welcome. To our graduating seniors and their parents, thank you. It has been a great ride. Enjoy it. It is a great game, if you play it the way it was meant to be played. For fun. With heart.
On a final note I would like to thank all of the WLC members over the years. As Club President, I am both humbled and amazed by the hard work of all of our volunteers, our Board members, our coaches, our team moms and dads, past and present, for what you have done to promote the game in our town. You are at the heart of our "core values."
Too often success is measured solely by scholarships, all-star accolades and championships. Those things are good units of measurement to be sure, worthy of our best efforts, but experience shows us that life is bigger than those things.
Thanks. Go Webster!!!

Congratulations go out to Webster Schroeder Alum, Mike Tota for breaking the SUNY Cortland scoring record. The following is an excerpt from the Section V Lacrosse website:
"SUNY Cortland's Mike Tota Breaks Record
May 6, 2012 - On last Wednesday afternoon, former Webster Schroeder player, Mike Tota scored three goals for the Red Dragons to break SUNY Cortland's all-time career goals record with 165. Tota broke the record previously set by Kyle Lambert who played for the Red Dragons from 2003-2006. Tota, a senior and captain of the team has 38g-23a (98pts) this year. While at Schroeder, Tota made the Class A All Tournament Team as a sophomore and was named to all league teams throughout his varsity career.Tota is not the only player from Section Five playing for Cortland. Others on the current roster include Cody Consul (Schroeder), Scott Tota (Schroeder), Greg Wright (Irondequoit), Mike Warner (Geneva), Nick Wolak (Brighton) and Sean Davern (Irondequoit). Cortland received a bye into the second round of the NCAA D-III tournament and will play at home on May 12th."
The Webster Lacrosse Club will be holding another Webster Night with the Rattlers this Summer at the home opener on 6/1/2012. Game time starts at 6:00 P.M. There will be an informal tailgate before the game and a chance for the little guys to play at half time.
Tickets cost $10.00. This is open to everyone...little guys through alumni, and their families. This is a great opportunity to show the local lacrosse community that we support high end Major League Lacrosse. The Rattlers are the Green Bay Packers of the MLL...a small market team with a big time fan base.
To register, go to the orange "Registration Now" tab. We will hand out tickets at the tailgate. See you there!!! Back to top
