Sponsorship $ for $!!!
Your regular-season registration could be free! You can sell ad space on our warm-up shirts, or in our program to local business sponsors. Ad space on our team website is included with any purchase. You can also get "shout-outs" or donations from friends and family. Every dollar you earn is a dollar off of your registration fee. Any amount over that goes to your team!
Deadline is the first day of regular-season practice, November 5th. You can get Sponsorship Forms from our website, www.oneteamlacrosse.com. Look under the Home tab, and choose Documents. Your sponsors can also go to our website and click on the "Advertise and Donate!" tab.

You can pre-sell and let me know how many you need if you didn't pick them up tonight at the Kickoff BBQ! (Leslie lmcw01@gmail.com)
Fan Wear
- The Suddarth family's company, Willward Apparel. These T-shirts and Hats are shown below and available as an option on your registration. They came up with great pricing for us and will be giving the team back a percentage!
- Powell Lacrosse. These are Powell branded items on a website that will be open until 11/5. This one has their sticks at a significantly reduced rate! https://teams.powelllacrosse.com/chandlerfirebirds/shop/home
- Squad Locker. This site is open year-round for you to shop. They also give us back a percentage. If there's something you want and don't see here, I can add it. The button link is at the bottom of every newsletter!
EQUIPMENT
For new players - we have some donated equipment that we can loan out until you are comfortable buying your own. Locally, only Dick's in Tempe and Play It Again Sports have lacrosse gear. There are many places online that will have gear, including starter sets. Some you can 'subscribe' to and have good specials emailed to you. Here are a few links:

Amazon also has lacrosse equipment. You can go to smile.amazon.com and choose One Team Lacrosse as the charity to benefit from your purchases. :)

Happy Birthday Dillon, Christian, Grant, Charlie & Cash!
REMINDERS
INCLEMENT WEATHER - We will still practice if it’s wet or raining, but if the fields are extremely soggy we will cancel. If it is lightning in the vicinity, we will cancel for safety. If practice is already in session the coaches will move the players to safe cover. We will issue notice via Remind (text) and Facebook that it’s time to get the players early, or that we have to cancel. Email doesn’t work well with large distribution groups on a cell phone so please be sure to check your texts and/or Facebook for an update if there’s any question.
Remind (text notices) - subscribe (free). You can unsubscribe at any time.
