Welcome to Marquette Lax Fans! That’s right, I know most of you have probably been looking at this website for the past few months or even years, depending on how long you have been involved, but for those of you just starting out, Welcome. Our 2009-2010 season has officially started.
We had our first meeting last night and we had a large group of young men join us and the team looks to have about 40 young men interested in playing. We spent last night handling administrative stuff and then talking through team goals and expectations. As is true with most people, sitting in a room for a few hours is just not that fun, but important. The work we did last night will hopefully set the table for our successes this year.
On Thursday we get to start practice. How great will it be to get out on the field and do some work. We will be able to begin to work together, bond, and develop into the family we know we are. Over the next 6 weeks we will see our team grow together and begin one unit as opposed to individuals. But most importantly, we get to the most fun part of lacrosse.
So, young men, come ready to work hard, but come ready to have fun. We are going to have a great time this year working our butts of and becoming a great team.
Parents and Alums, we are getting ready to announce our fall schedule, but we have to get some confirmation on things. Here is what I do know:
(a) We will be playing in the afternoon on 9/13 as part of Indian Summerfest. I don’t know time. I will post time and location once I have it.
(b) Our parents weekend will be 9/25-9/27. Details will be sent out by the EB this week, or at least as soon as we get all the parents contact information.
(c) Our alumni game scheduled for 9/19 appears to have gotten a good response. If you are not coming, contact us today and let us know you are coming 
. Don’t miss out on this tremendous time.
(d) Play Day with Carthage College is October 10-11 @ Carthage College.
Like I have said before we have a new hope, a new season with a bunch of returning and incoming talent. We can certainly achieve new heights, but the decision is ours. As I have told some and will be telling the team again. Winning starts now. It doesn’t start next week, or with the first game, or next hour, it starts now. It starts with hard work, with hard practice, with focus on achieving the goals we have laid out for ourselves and doing them the right way.
I don’t know about you, but I am stoked to be practicing on Thursday. Perhaps the only thing better would to be a player on Thursday as opposed to a coach. Let’s have some fun over the next few weeks boys.
