Webster Thomas/Schroeder game

    The Webster Lacrosse Club has kicked off registration for another year of Spring Lacrosse.  Registration is open to all boys living within the Town of Webster.  Registration is online only.  No experience is necessary.  To register, go to the online registration tab.  We hope to start around the first week of April, weather permitting.

   Before then, we have some organizational issues to work through and a few fun events planned as we wind down the Winter programs.  The college kids are deep into the preseason and will be kicking off the regular season in the next few weeks.  The High School kids are hitting the weight room hard and getting some preseason stickwork.  The Winter youth intramural programs and the Microlacrosse program are running strong and bringing a lot of new faces and families eager to learn the "Medicine Game." 

   This Winter, we have two fun field trips planned, including "Webster Night"  at the Rochester Knighthawks home game against the Washington Stealth on 2/18/2012.  This event will include a game at half time for the kids in our 3/4th grade Winter program.  We also have a field trip planned to watch Syracuse play Army at the Dome on 2/26/2012.   Like last year, we are planning on chartering a bus to the game. 

   We have a few important events planned to stay organized and get ready for opening day the first week of April.  We have a Coaching Clinic set for 3/10/12 from 8:00 - to about 10:30 a.m in the morning.  The Varsity Coaches from both high schools will give a block of instruction with a strong emphasis on positive coaching and stressing the fundamentals, followed with some instruction on the Club structure for the Spring season.  This is a great time to jump on Board,  no experience is needed and all new-comers are welcome.  We will supply the coffee and donuts.   Afterwards, all coaches are invited to the Varsity practices to watch the practice plans in "practice." 

  There will also be an "equipment audit" scheduled for 3/12/2012 at 6:00 p.m. where we get together at the shed to check out what we have and what we will need for the spring.   This is a good is a time for everyone else to do the same.  If your little guy isn't so little anymore and has outgrown some quality equipment, feel free to donate it to the club. Bring it to the Equipment Audit.   Donations are tax deductible and help the Club defray the cost of purchasing new equipment.    We hope to have our equipment needs met so we are all set for the Spring Season Equipment hand-out set for Saturday 3/24/12 at 9:00 a.m.

  This is a good time to check your calanders and make plans for our Summer Tournament season as well.  We have posted the tournments we plan to attend on the "Tournament Team News" tab.  We will update it as more information is available.  Summer is a busy time.  Make time for family and summer fun but make sure you plan for these weekends as well...because we want you there.  "All in." 

  As we wrap up the winter, it is time once again to take note that the "King of Spring" will soon return.  We have a lot of great Spring and Summer time plans, including the return of "Summer Time at the Box", the Adult/Alumni Box League and Summer Camps run by the Varsity Coaches. 

   This Spring, the high school kids will play in the new Stadiums at Thomas and Schroeder. This would not have been possible without the tireless effort of a few Webster Lacrosse families who were at the lead of the  for the Capital Improvement project, knowing that their kids would never play on those fields, other than maybe in an alumni game.   That says a lot about our core values and those families.

  The Spring/Summer season will be highlighted as always, by the Club's "Flagship" event, the Webster Classic,http://www.websterclassic.com/ scheduled for 6/30/2012,  where we once again, celebrate our "core values." We say hello again to old friends from other quality Clubs that share those values, who come to play hard, play to win, but most importantly, play to teach the communal origins of the "Medicine Game." 

 We have a lot planned.  We need your support to make it happen.  Jump on board...it promises to be another memorable season of lacrosse in the Town of Webster!!!

Registration for the Webster Lacrosse Club, boys Winter lacrosse program is now open.  Registration is online only. To register, go to the online registration tab.

The Microslacrosse program consists of 5 Saturday, hour long events by Club Members, Varsity Coaches and High School Students. The four Saturday events will be held from 1:15-2:15 p.m. on five Saturdays: 1/7, 1/14, 1/21, 2/4, and 2/11.

The emphasis is on learning the very basic skills of scooping ground balls, cradling, passing and catching. This is done through intramural style games like relay races. In that regard, kids are also introduced to fun, age appropriate competition.  The cost of registration includes a free stick, a T-shirt, and the cost of gym space.

The Club is also offering intramural lacrosse for kids, 1st-6^th grade, to be held in the Gym at Spry and Thomas Field House on Saturdays. The 1st/2^nd grade program at Spry is designed for our returning kids who have gotten used to playing with equipment. For our newer kids K-2, we strongly recommend that they stick to Micro-lacrosse to get familiar with their stick. There will be plenty of time in the Spring time to put the pads on.

The 1-6h grade program is open to all boys in the Webster School District. NO EXPERIENCE is necessary. The Program structure will consist of approximately six hour long workouts involving some brief individual stick work, like wall ball, some simple transition drills, and intramural style league play. The program will be held on 1/7, 1/14, 1/21, 1/28, 2/4, 2/11

Time Slots Are Currently Set as Follows:

1st-2nd Grade 1:00-2:15 at Spry Middle School
3rd-4th Grade 2:15-3:30 at Thomas Field House
5th-6th Grade 2:30-4:00 at Spry Middle School

The Winter program is designed to get touches on the ball. It is designed for new kids to get to know the game, for our multisport athletes to touch the ball in the off season, and for our year rounders to keep active. It is also designed to be fun. It's a fun game. It should be played that way and for that purpose.
