Good evening!  I hope everyone is having a good week.  It is hard to believe that the season is over.  Some of the girls expressed an interest in attending a camp this summer.  There are lots of them out there.  This is not a requirement.  I have looked at the JMU camp, it is reasonably priced, and they supply a discount if we have more than 4 girls attending.  Please let me know if you are interested in attending.  I have an email out about how to register with the discount.  We can also carpool if needed.

I look forward to seeing everyone next week 5/28 for the End of Season Banquet.

Due to the inclement weather, we will meet in room 129 Friday, April 12th @3:15pm. 

Please be dressed in practice attire.

Good morning Ladies!  Here is the information for our team service project this Saturday from 9-11:30.  I can give service hours if you enter this into x2Vol.  (Please be sure to write your reflection).  

Where to Meet

Meet at the Visitor Center at Sully Historic Site. The Site address is 3650 Historic Sully Way, Chantilly, VA 20151. Meet at a few minutes before 9 a.m. in order to sign-in, get trash bags, and receive further instructions. It is important to arrive on-time so you don’t get left behind.

Google Map link here for reference.

What to Wear

Please be sure to dress properly for the workday and weather. Dressing in layers is recommended. Wear long pants and sturdy work boots or other closed-toe shoes you don’t mind getting dirty, muddy or wet—no sandals. Depending on conditions, a hat may also be helpful.

What to Bring

• Bring a couple of water bottles. It’s a good idea to have at least 64 oz. of water in order to stay hydrated (two Nalgene-type bottles)
• Work gloves for picking up trash
• Sunscreen, Insect Repellent (if desired)
• Camera or smartphone for taking pictures. We encourage you to share photos via social media and with us after the workday!

Good evening Chargers!  I have updated the schedule to reflect our times of the Annandale Tournament on 3/23 and 3/30.  Please look and add to your calendars.  

Good afternoon Laxers!

Please check this site Sunday night prior to try-outs on Monday.  Right now we are scheduled from 9-10:30 on the Chantilly Track.  If I don't have your paper work by 3:00 pm Friday, you are not eligible to try-out.  You can come and watch, but you will not play.

Please bring the following to try-outs (everyday including Monday)

• Running shoes
• Stick
• Mouthguard
• Pinnie 

Please remember to stay flexible, as I wish I could control the weather.  Stay tuned and be proactive about staying on top of potential changes.  

All are invited to the interest meeting tomorrow room 129 at 3:05.  We will discuss all that needs to be done prior to try-outs starting on 2/18.  

If you have not gotten a physical, you need one.  I must have my own emergency care card (even if you played another sport) and parents and players must complete the concussion trainings.  ALL this must be completed prior to even trying out.  You will sit at tryouts if I don't have everything prior to that day.  

Both parents and players need to complete this concussion training.  Here is the link
