Road Trip Changes
March 25, 2010 Filed in: News Updates | Schedules
The rumors you may have been hearing are now confirmed. Coach Kelly has just informed us that the Friday, 4/9 game vs Wenatchee has been moved to Sunday, 4/11 at 1pm. This change was made since there was a conflict with the school schedule of several team members on Friday night, April 9th.
The schedule for that weekend is now:
Game 1 at 5pm vs Selah at Selah High School to be followed by:
Game 2 at 1pm vs Wenatchee at Wenatchee Valley College.
As you might imagine, we will be needing to reevaluate our lodging requirements based on this new information. Please stay tuned for further updates as they come in...
A quick reminder that The Bulldogs’ second game of the season is a 5pm matchup with Highline at Genesee Field tomorrow, Friday March 26th. Please come on down and cheer on the guys is what looks to be a very entertaining game. See you there...!

Message from Coach Kelly
March 15, 2010 Filed in: News Updates | Schedules
We’ve received the following communique from Ryan Kelly this morning. Most of you may have gotten it, but I am putting it here for some wider coverage:
Hello Everyone
I am sorry for the late notice on this, but I am moving today's practice (Monday, 3/15) to Georgetown Play Field for today only. Practice will start at the same time 5pm and go to 7pm as usual. I told your sons about the change on Saturday, but I forgot to send out the e-mail to the parents.
Georgetown Play Field
750 S Homer St Seattle WA 98134
Also due to the injuries we sustained in Saturday’s Jamboree, I have canceled the out-of-division games vs Lakeside and Overlake. We cannot afford to have any more players injured, and I don't want to take a chance of having a player get hurt in a game that does not count.
One last announcement: We have our first Home game of the season tomorrow vs Nathan Hale @5pm. Please come out and cheer us on in our home opener.
Thanks
Ryan

Some News...

This Saturday, 3/13 the Garfield Bulldogs will play in a preseason Round Robin Tournament, hosted by Nathan Hale. The team will play three shortened games. All games will be at Nathan Hale High School and their adjacent Fields.
The schedule and game locations are is as follows:
12:30 p.m. Garfield vs Lake Washington Summit 2
12:30 p.m. Woodinville vs Nathan Hale NH Stadium
1:45 p.m. Garfield vs Nathan Hale Summit 2
1:45 p.m. Woodinville vs Lake Washington NH Stadium
3:00 p.m. Nathan Hale vs Lake Washington Summit 2
3:00 p.m. Garfield vs Woodinville NH Stadium
The tournament format is as follows:
(4) Teams, each plays three mini-games.
Mini-Games: (2) 20-minute running-time halves, 5-minute half.
20 to 30 minute break between games for rest and instruction.
Coach Kelly will probably tell you something different at today’s practice, but plan to be at the field, ready to warmup by 11:00. Pack a lunch and extra water if you want...
The first official game for the Bulldogs will be this coming Tuesday, March 16th at Genesee Field. where the ‘dogs will take on Nathan Hale. Game time is 5pm.
Next Thursday, March 18th, we’ll travel to Lakeside, also for a 5pm contest.
On another related subject, The Bulldogs will be traveling east of the mountains this season for a two game series with Wenatchee and Selah on Friday, April 9th and Saturday April, 10th. We are planning to travel caravan style, leaving Seattle about 1pm on Friday the 9th. Players whose schools are in session that day will need to arrange early dismissal, probably by noon.
The Club is looking for reasonable lodging in the Wenatchee area for Friday night. Plans are to have 4-players per room, so the cost-per-person lodging fee should be quite reasonable. Players will need money for their own food/entertainment/etc as well.
We’d like to get an accurate headcount on who, other than the players/coaches, will be needing lodging. If you plan on accompanying your son on this great opportunity, please let us know at the Garfield Lacrosse Club how many extra people you want to bring, and we’ll try and get everyone in the same location. Please keep in mind that those costs will be your responsibility. When the plans are finalized, we will let everyone know the exact cost. Contact us with any concerns you may have.
Please see the Schedule for these game times and exact locations.

2010 Season Starts Tomorrow!
March 01, 2010 Filed in: News Updates | Schedules
It’s official! The 2010 season of Bulldog Lacrosse kicks off tomorrow with the first practice of the season!
As you all probably know by now, practices will be held at Genesee Field, between 5 and 7pm, Monday through Friday, Coach Ryan Kelly “kindly requests” that all players be dressed and ready to go by 4:45pm.
Team Captains will lead the team through warmups so as to be ready to start line drills promptly at 5pm.
Please be aware that participation in Garfield Lax activities are non-discretionary and attendance is a requirement for team membership. See Coach Kelly for further information.
Despite our gentle, persistent reminders over the past month, it appears that some players still have not submitted the signed Liability Waivers. Without having this important paperwork on file, League rules prohibit participation. This is a direct result of the Lystedt Law which is aimed at concussion awareness and prevention. Please understand that this is a requirement that will be enforced...
That being said, we are excited to be a part of Bulldog Lax and look forward to the start of this season. Players seem enthusiastic and ready to get down to some hard work. We are looking forward to supporting them, their coaches, and their parents however we can.
As a reminder, the Season Schedule is posted over on the right side of this page, and we will soon have that information added to the Calendar.
