Registration for Kelly Post Girls Spring 2021 lacrosse is OPEN...

CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Welcome to the 2021 Kelly Post Girls Spring Registration. We thank you for coming out to play with KP!  It's our pleasure to share with your daughters the sport of lacrosse.  We hope that they will love it as much as we do!  If lacrosse is new to you as well, we know you will love it too.   We're here to help you be part of your daughter's lax-journey.  We have many opportunities for you to coach, team parent, etc, so please don't be shy about volunteering.  We will train you to have fun while helping other girls grow into strong young women while having fun on the field.  It's a job that you'll wish you started sooner - I know I did. 

-Dave Briglio, Commissioner

EVALUATIONS:  Evaluations will be held in early January 2021; specific date(s) and location(s) will be determined at a later time.  

NEW DEVELOPMENT TEAM OPTIONS:  sometime during the spring season is complete, we will hold tryouts for summer teams that will play at 3 or 4 tournaments.  This will be an optional, extra payment, team.  If your daughter may be interested in being considered for the development team, please check the appropriate box (Tyker, Lightning & Midgets only) later in this registration.  There is no financial commitment at this time; we simply want to gage interest for that team.

EXPANDED WINTER WORKOUTS:  ALL players are welcome to join our Development Team workouts that take place throughout the winter.  This will be an optional, extra payment, program.  If your daughter may be interested in participating in these workouts, please check the appropriate box later in this registration.  There is no financial commitment at this time; we simply want to gage interest for that training.

TRAVEL TEAMS?...

...All Lightning-Midget-Juniors teams travel for approximately half of their games.  We play other Rec Programs in the MYLA league.  

For Tyker, we have primarily "in-house" teams who play each other.  But We will have 1 or 2 teams who travel similar to the older groups.  Please check the box in this registration if your daughter is a Tyker player would like to play on the Tyker team(s) that travel to play other MYLA Rec programs.  If she decides later on she doesn't want to play on the travel team, she can play in the house teams - no problem.

KELLY POST GIRLS LACROSSE

CLINIC OVERVIEW 2020

Thank you for registering your daughter for Kelly Post Girls Lacrosse Clinic!

The purpose of the clinic is to give the girls an opportunity to learn fundamental lacrosse skills in a fun and organized environment.  The first five sessions will be spent rotating through stations at which the girls learn different skills; i.e. throwing, catching, ground ball pick up, shooting, defensive and offensive positioning.  The last four sessions will be scrimmages. 

SCHEDULE:

The season will begin in late March and end in late May.  The regular season will be followed by a Fun Day, date TBD, filled with silly relay races, games, a raffle and a barbeque.  There will be no session on Easter. 

Teams will have a one hour long practice for the first four Sundays at either 3pm or 4pm.

The last four Sundays are dedicated to 30-minute scrimmages between 3pm and 5pm.  After teams are assigned you will receive an email from your daughter’s coach with a fixed schedule.

EQUIPMENT:

Kelly Post will provide each girl with a team shirt and a pair of shorts.  Each girl is expected to bring their own regulation stick, mouthguard, protective eyewear* and water bottle. Please label all items!   GIRLS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITHOUT A MOUTHGUARD OR EYEWEAR!  You can get mouthguards, sticks and eyewear at most sporting goods stores (ex: Lacrosse Unlimited, Dick’s, and Sports Authority). The recommended stick length is a little past the arm pit.  Talk to the lacrosse associate when buying a stick about appropriate length.

Your daughter may wear either cleats (recommended) or tennis shoes.  Also, practices are very cold the first couple weeks; please ensure your daughter is properly dressed with layers.

*Since we will be using regulation balls, girls are required to wear protective eyewear during practice and scrimmages.  Protective eyewear must be certified by the protective eyewear certification council (PECC) and must be in compliance with ASTM F803-30 Standards for Lacrosse. Go to www.uslacrosse.org for a list of manufacturers and models of eyewear meeting these specifications and for other information on protective eyewear.

LOCATION:

Meadowood Park, field 4 and 6.  (Field subject to change) 

Address: 10650 Falls Rd., Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093

WEATHER:

In case of inclement weather, please check your email/texts frequently leading up to practice.   We are once again using "Rainedout.net" to announce field closures. All field calls will be made by our County Community Supervisor.  Once signed up, individuals will receive instant notification via email and/or text of field closures. The service is free, but families must sign up on the site.

To sign up for Meadowood announcements:

https://www.rainedout.net/team_page.php?a=4505ea25eea925aada88

Once Meadowood Park appears, follow instructions to receive alerts via sms text or email. Standard message and data rates will apply.

We will meet whenever possible, but recognize that the girls are young and may not endure cold, rainy practices too well!  If we cancel a session, we will try our best to make it up.

Teams have been assigned and you will hear from your coaches shortly.  All teams have at least 1 coach, if you hear from your coach that he/she is looking for some help, a co-coach or just an extra set of hands…please consider volunteering!!

Thanks for your support of Kelly Post Girl’s Lacrosse!  We are looking forward to another great Clinic Season!

Best,

Heather Nelson

Clinic Coordinator
