Hello All:

Just wanted to send some notes from the Parent/Guardian Meeting that took place last night.

Philosophy: Went over the season's theme "embrace your role."  Everyone plays a part in a successful lacrosse program - players, coaches, parents.  Parents role will include making sure your daughters are well rested, well feed, well hydrated, and well prepared for practice/games.  As parents please help your daughters compartmentalize their stress so they are full ready for lacrosse practice/games.  During games, our parent body should act as ambassadors for Sidwell.  I want our opponents to view us as "class acts."  Sometimes the referees might not give us the calls we like, but it is important to be a positive role model on the sidelines.  Frustrations will influence how our players perform on the field.

Linguistics: Reach me by phone (202-537-2460) or email [email-masked]; Will return emails within 24 hours.  Game schedule online; weekly email sent with day to day schedule.

JV Game schedule: 3 games scheduled on line to accommodate off varsity days in order to have a full JV roster for game days.  Looking to add 2 more.

Spring Break Plans: No practice over the break; please see attached programs for ideas.  It is important that we do not lose what we have started building!  Other opponents will be in Florida playing lacrosse so it is important that we continue to maintain fitness/skill levels.  Please pencil in Spring Break lacrosse trip next year at Disney.

Finally, Eric De Jonge will help with organizing game day drinks/snacks.  Please look for an email in the coming week.  Additionally, we also will need a parent volunteer to help coordinate the end of the season potluck party.

Save the Date: The Sidwell Friends Girls Lacrosse Alumni Game on May 30th from 10:00 am-1:00 pm at SFS.

Wishing you and your family a restful (and laxful) spring break!

Go Quakers,

Coach Miller
