Community Weblog - [ 5th Grade ]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks to Coach Susan, we were able to secure an indoor facility for our Lacrosse practice today, 4/12.  We will be meeting indoors at CMJH in the Commons Area from 4:30-6:00pm.

I just finished a conversation with the CMJH and the school confirmed that they will be open for afternoon activities. 

Any 5th Graders wanting to join us are MORE than welcome to.

See you there!!

Regards,
Coach Rox

Cheyenne Mountain Girl’s Lacrosse Clinic/Playday, March 4th, 2007 El  Pomar Field 10am-4pm

Many of you might remember that the CC women's team had its best showing last year in the NCAA Division III finals. They finished 4th- best ever for a west-of-the-Mississippi team. As a result, they're getting to host a lot more games at home this year, and that means that we get to have some GREAT lacrosse here in town.

The home games are all here, all free, and if you can make them, you should. If anyone's interested in carpooling, post something on the discussion board (on the right) and we'll try to get something together. (Note that the March 1,3,4,5 matchups are not just CC games)

These are from last summer's World cup. There are some great pictures (a link to all of them is below). However, take a look at these:

Look at the Australian player is positioned- hips square to her opponent, stick mirroring hers, and feet moving side-to-side

Now HERE'S a double team. Look at how freaked out the Canadian player looks. Both Scotticsh players are coming at her strong side, so she's going to have to either step back, roll to her weak side, or try and get rid of the ball.

The Scottish player has completely beaten her defender, by bringing the stick across her body (to protect it), and powering past. Check out the look on the defender's face: "Huh? Where'd she go????"
