Thank you for your interest in Blue Dog Lax!

We are an independently owned and operated private club. It is our intent to develop Lacrosse player outside the high school season to prepare them for a higher level of play when returning to their high school teams. We will attend local tournaments and scrimmages against other local clubs. We may or may not travel to distant playing venues (at an extra cost)

Available Teams: We may split into 2 teams this year, and we may not! If we split:

White Team: This will be the more advanced varsity team. They are expected to have a working knowledge of motion offense, transition, clears, and off ball movement. They need to be able to play both right and left handed.

Purple Team: This will be the more developmental varsity/JV mixed team. These players will either be young, or not quite ready age or experience wise for the purple team level of play.

Practice Days:
Tuesday and Thursday 10-12 am in Summer and 4-6 while School is in session

Cost/#of Practices:
This varies with your membership. Practices run from $18-$20, and uniforms and tournament fees are included in fees, and reflective of their actual cost to the club!

Dates: Year round outside of high school season.
                2009: We will start right after NCS playoffs. June 1- January 31, 2010

Locations:
TBA- Pleasanton
                Granada High School Turf Field for Scrimmages when home:
                500 Wall Street Livermore, California
The field is behind the school. Look for the Tall lights of the Football field!

Coaches: Jen Milus, Beth Braun, etal. Guest coaches as needed.

Team Colors: Royal Purple, Royal Blue and White. Reversible Pinney and Blue Shorts

Uniforms:
These pinneys are custom made and need to be special ordered. So, their care needs to be closely guarded. Please wash them in cold water hang them dry! Shorts will be distributed to each player upon signing up, and will also be yours to keep, maintain and replace if lost or destroyed. If your shorts are lost, and you have not yet replaced them, royal blue rage soccer shorts are acceptable.

Policy on Playing for your high school group or another team:
If we are scrimmaging, or playing in a tournament, and your high school group is putting a team together, we encourage you to participate with them if you would like. If you are interested in playing for a traveling team that may increase your visibility to college coaches please discuss it with us so that we can be aware of the possibility that you may not be available for certain tournaments.

Guest Players:
If we are short players for a tournament, and are in need of players of a certain skill level, it is up to our discretion to pick up guest players to fill that roster. Those guest players will be asked to pay an additional coaching fee due to the fact that they are not club members.

Playing time:
Playing time and participation will be based on our perception of talent, skill, hard work, effort, speed, effectiveness, attitude and openness to coaching. Parent involvement in such decisions is not up for discussion. Playing time will not necessarily be even, but fair in our estimation and based on merit.

Players and parents behavior:
Sportsmanship is of the utmost importance. This is a private club. Parents and player behavior is expected to be respectful of other teams and players. Insults or profanity directed at other coaches, players, teams, teammates, parents or refs will not be tolerated. If membership in the club is terminated, current months/tournament dues/fees are not refundable.

Which High School you play for is not important!
Players will be chosen, and placed on teams based on their individual merit, and their ability to function on the team in question, and the playing opportunity available. There will be no bias for or against any player based on which high school they play for. Age/grade will be considered in placement, but this is only a small consideration.
