Rainy Days! |
October, 24th 2005 |

We apologize for another rainy Sunday. We can't seem to catch a break with the weather.
The Pennington School is very concerned with the condition of their fields and made a late decision to cancel all activities scheduled for Sunday. We did our best to inform everyone and hope that the message was received. In the future if the weather is questionable or we have experienced a ton of rain, be sure to check your email and the website the day of the event for cancellations.
Speed and agility is Wednesday night at the Pennington Ewing Athletic Club at 6:00 P.M.
We will schedule to meet all of those who will be participating in the weekend Princeton tournament Friday night at 6:00 P.M. on our practice field at Pennington. We will distribute uniforms and schedules. In addition once the schedule is set we will post in on the website.
Thanks,
Chris

Our first ever Fall Ball program is off to a great start. Players have been working hard on Wednesday nights and taking full advantage of our Sunday workouts.

2) As we move into November, and begin to lose daylight we may flip our days. Wednesday nights will be speed and quickness and Sunday mornings will be practice. Please let us know if this creates conflicts. This will not take effect until NEXT Wednesday, October 19, if we choose to do it.
3) We need to confirm our tournament rosters for the two fall events. Please email us at camp@truenorthlacrosse.com if you are interested in playing in one or both of the tournaments.

Congratulations to all four teams for a well played weekend of lacrosse. Playing under hot and humid conditions and with only two practices under our belts all of the teams played hard and gave their best efforts.
6th/7th Grade Team
Finished the tournament with 2 wins and 1 loss. The team persevered through game cancellations, field changes, player conflicts and keys locked in cars to put forth an excellent effort.
8th Grade Team
Finished the weekend with 4 wins and 1 loss. The weekend included an exciting overtime victory over Team Long Island - considered the top team in the division. Unfortunately they ran out of the gas in the finals, but not before mounting a late game comeback to cut the score to 7-5.
High School "B" Team
Started the tournament with a great win and ended the weekend with 1 win and 2 losses. Unfortunately one of their top players, Andrew Disdier, suffered a broken wrist in the second game. We wish Andrew a speedy recovery.
High School "A" Team
Played hard all weekend, but had a disappointing tournament with a tie and two losses. The team looks to bounce back this weekend with a full roster and another week of practice.
Overall the program was well represented, but our lack of practice time was evident. Most of the teams we faced over the weekend were rec programs or school teams that entered the tournament after three months of practices and games. True North's history has been that we show tremendous improvement each week and we expect the same from this yearβs program.
Looking Ahead
1. The Annapolis schedule is posted, but we have already been warned about changes. Please check the working schedule and I will send out an "official schedule" later in the week.
2. We will implement a phone tree to alert parent's and coaches to field changes, time changes and coaches locked out of cars! This will be distributed at practice Wednesday night and it will also be posted online.
3. We will give out the Lax Max tournament t-shirts on Wednesday night at practice. They are Lax Max's best tournament shirt in years and the boy's should like them. The 8th grade team will also receive their medals on Wednesday.
Finally, I want to apologize again for the disorganized nature of the weekend. Tournaments of Lax Max's size are difficult to organize, operate and as we learned participate in. Everyone is affected by team cancellations, field changes, weather and unforeseen incidents (keys!) that we have been fortunate enough to avoid in the past. Please bookmark truenorthlacrosse.com and use it as your primary source for information. If we all refer to the club web site, the tournament web sites and effectively utilize the phone tree - we will eliminate future confusion and insure a great experience for everyone.
Letβs get back to work Tuesday night and get ready for Annapolis!

Over 120 players attended selection camp on Monday night. Every player put forth a great effort and the level of play was excellent.

8th Grade Team - 6:00 to 6:50 P.M.
High School Team - 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.
We have also decided to add an additional high school team. This will give us two high school teams - Team RED & Team BLACK.
Final rosters will be posted on Thursday June 2 at 5:00 P.M.
Practice Dates (every Tuesday and Wednesday)
June 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 & 29
