Notes For All Age Groups
- Team Pics - I'm bumping the team picture day out again because there will be lots of kids out for school orientations this week. We will probably have to set it for a game day now. More details to come ...
- Remind (Last Minute Text Notifications) - We are receiving messages that Verizon users will no longer be able to use Remind. There is a chance that this will resolve itself before the 1/28 deadline, so we will use it if needed this week. Then we'll see what happens ... alternative suggestions welcome!
- Volunteers (Reminder) - Probably half of the needed volunteer slots are still empty. Any slots still remaining open tomorrow, 1/22, will be directly assigned. Expect to hear from your age group Volunteer Coordinator if needed. The Sign-Up genius links are under your age group specific news below.
Superbowl Pool!
<Courtesy Sean Kelly>
It is that time of year. Lacrosse is in full swing and the NFL Playoffs are here! The Superbowl is right around the corner. It is time to start selling the boxes for our Superbowl fundraiser. For those of you that have been with Firebirds, you will recall that we did this type of fundraiser with Monday Night Football the last 2 years and it raises a good amount of money for the team. For those of you that are new, no problem!
Each box costs $30
Payouts are as follows on game day:
1st quarter: $200
Half: $300
3rd quarter: $200
Final: $500
This gives a total payout of $1200 and earns the team $1800
Please contact your friends and family to sell these boxes! 100 boxes total.
Here is the direct link to our website store for the pool: http://assn.la/Store/Store.asp?id=11009&org=ONETEAMLACROSSE.COM
You can also find Sean Kelly or Leslie at practice with a check, Venmo to @OneTeamLacrosse, or Paypal to 1teamlacrosse@gmail.com!
Once I have all the names, they will be randomly placed in the grid as follows: Player's name that sold the box/ Purchaser (Ex. Gavin Kelly/ Dad)
The numbers across the top and side of the grid will also be randomized.
Once the grid is complete, it will be posted!
