Tuesday game, Orangeville Play Day & Organic Veggies!!

Hi Laxers,

Great news: we will play the Toronto Stars on Tuesday, June 19th at McGregor Park @7pm! This will be valuable practice leading up to our U12 Play day on June 23 in Orangeville! If you have time this weekend, find a wall and do some wall ball. This is your best option to improve on catching and stick handling. We will practice as usual on Monday, the 18th; this will be our last session of the season.

The Orangeville U-12 (under 12 years) tournament will be VERY BUSY. The organizers have asked me to remind everyone to ARRIVE EARLY to find the fields, find parking (which apparently will be at a premium) and to get the girls to the washrooms etc. Our first game is at 10:30am; players should be ready to warm up (dressed, ready to play) by no later than 10:00 am.

Cathy Dandy (Tabitha's mom and our local ward 15 TDSB trustee) has shared some information regarding a GREAT family event happening the same day, in the same general area as our tournament. Her brother operates Everdale Farm and they are hosting a community food event which features many fun activities for children and adults. Details are below.

See you all on Monday,

Best in lacrosse,
Stephanie
