Get registered!

Hey ladies another update on the Fall registration.  Unfortunately our numbers were dangerously low last Thursday, we only secured 10% of the registrations we needed.  Although we are holding another registration Thurs Oct 1st the concern is we won’t get the other 90% required to meet our numbers to secure the full timeslot.   As some of you may have scene Gary is also running registration for the LITG co-ed league as we are trying to ensure the lacrosse community can secure the floor time.  Gary’s fairly confident that LITG can meet the numbers required but may be short he won’t know until Wed for sure after his “final” registration (see details in attached email).   We wanted to make sure you were aware of the situation and share possible scenarios which may pan out, the following being is what we believe will be the most probable….LITG secures registration for the full time slot, no program can be run by the DWLL; LITG has 6 teams and DWLL has a one hour time slot to run a pick up program (modified program), or worst case the numbers are just too low to make the floor time commitment and the floor time is lost completely…no lacrosse for either league.

 

We wanted to share this to be sure everyone was aware of the situation.  We know its not a pretty but our key objective is to try and ensure the lacrosse community secures the floor time.

 

We expect by early next week to know how registration has gone and how we will proceed.  Should the worst case happen and the numbers do not meet the floor time requirement we will of course return you money…as well if you would prefer to play in the LITG then we will also return you money.

 

Thanks for your understanding if you need to reach call me at  1-800-268-1546 ext 234

Ladies we need you to approach registration with a sense of urgency or our Fall season will be at risk!!!

The DWLL and LITG leagues have been working together to secure field time at the Whitby Iroquois Soccer Dome.  The dome has specified we need to make a 25 week commitment for 4 hours (8 teams) per night they have also asked we move the start date up to Oct 14th.   Our plan is to split the agreement into two seasons DWLL Oct -Feb and remaining to  LITG .  Given the soccer dome is the only indoor facility offering a full field in the area the dome has been approached by many organizations wanting floor time so they want our firm commitment ASAP.  The DWLL typically has 6 Masters teams in the  fall and we are hoping that we can build two more teams with the modified program.  The modified program would be the same as for our box league, but there would be no cross-checking.  Stick-checking would be allowed, we would use the 30-second clock and loose balls would be loose balls.  Essentially, it would be the same game, without the contact.  Please make sure that you indicate on the registration form whether, in the event there is not enough interest,  you would be willing to play masters or you would like a refund.  This would be the only exception to the No Refund policy. 

 

To ensure we know the commitment of the players we need to ask that you register ASAP.  Please get out  Thursday night Sept 24th or next Thursday Oct 1st at Peel Park in Whiby or mail in your registration ASAP.  If we can’t meet the 8 team requirement then Gary will look to running a 25 week program.
