Dear Eagles,
Please read this in detail for important lacrosse information and schedule.
Sunday. Meeting of Seniors with Coach Pittman 2-4 PM
Note. We are now offering more lifting opportunities that are more convenient for the players so that they can more easily meet our preseason criteria of 3 lifting sessions per week. The lifting sessions with the football coach and team are still available on Monday and Weds from 3:30 to 4:30. (Also if a player attends both of those sessions that will also count for one of the 3 conditioning sessions.) The new times that are available are Tues and Thursday after Hoffacker conditioning from 4:30 to 5:00. We will still make the Thursday and Friday morning sessions available for lifting but would prefer that the players lift at the other times and take full advantage of the stick sessions.
Again conditioning is available on Monday (sometimes combined with the football lifting sessions) Tuesday, and Thursday. Players can do conditioning on their own for which they will receive credit but will need to follow the Hoffacker guideline at minimum which I will send out shortly. That can be done for those that are unable to make the team sessions. If possible it would be preferred to work out with the team but not absolutely necessary.
Stick sessions: Next week (wk 4) we will have stick sessions available on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.in auxilary gym 6:30 to 7:30 AM. We will primarily working with offense on Monday and Wed and Defense on Thursday and Friday. We are asking players to attend at least 2 sessions per week however anyone is welcome to come to as many as they want and all are welcome at any of the sessions (All players play offense and defense at various times so they need to understand it well). Week 5 and 6 will have stick sessions only on Thursday and Friday. Be sure to bring indoor and outdoor gear to the morning sessions because if the weather cooperates we'll go outside. (tennis shoes and cleats, possible layered clothing for outside) We will get out on the full field ASAP.
We will give awards to those players who faithfully meet our 3 conditioning and lifting session criteria and who attend 2 stick sessions. We need players to turn in their records now for the first 3 weeks. All are expected to report this to us. Just give the dates of attendance or of individual workouts. Do not need details on amount lifted. (Note: the first week of Jan the only requirement was Hoffacker type workout on Tues and Thurs.) Just a simple email response to this will be sufficient for that report and will allow the player to be considered for the award/recognition.
Reminder that the season opens Feb 13th. Our schedule has been published. Evaluations will take place on Febr 18th so we will need a number of volunteers to help with our various stations. We will have awards for those that meet our physical and skills criteria of the Golden Eagle Club and the Silver Eagle club. We will let you know what those criteria are but be aware that it will be challenging to be a member of either club.
There has been a modification of our coaching staff.
Varsity Head Coach: Pittman
Varsity Offensive Coordinator: Chey West
Varsity Defensive Coordinator: Steve Kenny
Defense and Specialty Coordinator: Tom Flynn
Assistant Head Coach and Head JV Coach: Christopher Teeter

Thanks so much to this staff for all they do and their commitment. Thanks also to Jennifer Harris and Lois Teeter for all their work with the parent support committee.
We are off to a great start to a great season. We appreciate all of the players coming to the interview sessions. It is a privilege to meet these fine young men and we are looking forward to being a part of their successful season.
Ok Week 4 schedule summary again
This Sunday Coach Pittman meets with seniors from 2-4
Monday 6:30 AM Sticks, 3:30 lifting/ 1/2 conditioning session w/ football coach and Kyle Ray (Hoffacker)
Tues 3:30 Hoffacker 4:30-5 Lifting
Weds 6:30 AM Sticks 3:30 Same as Monday
Thurs 6:30 AM Sticks 3:30 Same as Tues
Friday 6:30 AM Sticks
(Note: Seniors may call some scrimmage sessions if weather permits so keep your ear to the ground on that)
We appreciate those players who have been faithfully attending these sessions and preparing for the season. We had a very good session this morning and the players are looking good. Stick skills are beginning to sharpen up already and the players are getting their shooting strings fine tuned.
Each player will need at least 2 lax heads tuned and ready to go beginning Feb 13th. Again the backup needs to be ready to go because of certain breakage potential. Ideally they should have 2 heads and 2 shafts.
Everything is in place to be champions so let's do it well for your teammates and for God's Glory.
We, not me!
Him, not us!
Coach Pittman
