CHANGES

One of the best things about being a new head coach is that it gives you a great opportunity to make changes.  So here are a few I plan to make.

• We will have a printed playbook of what we are going to run and what you need to know.
• Were going to have a team manager, She is already signed up and raring to go.
• The HS staff and the Charger staff are going to work much more closely to make sure we have smart, motivated lacrosse players entering the system.
• We will vote for next years captains at the end of the season, players leaving the program will have a chance to shape what follows.
• I plan to work very hard to give the guys who want to play at the next level the chance to do that.
• I have eliminated the  Parent/Coach Communication Pamphlet - I'm all about feedback.  
• I'm considering tunes at practice, as long as Nicky Ward is not the DJ!

Schedule Taking Shape

You can view the 2010 varsity schedule here DVLAX 2010

So far it looks like 4 scrimmages and 17 games counting the Hunterdon Warren tourney, and  state playoff  bid we would need to earn.   This will be the toughest schedule ever for the program.  But we will be ready.

Tee Shirt Art Work/ Ad Space

As a fund raising change of pace, I opted to do a team tee shirt.  We are selling advertising space on the back. At $50, $75, and $150  So if you want to show your support for DEL VAL  BOYS LAX  please get in touch. The shirt was designed by professional cartoonist George Coghill. The shirts display our theme for the year "LIKE A BOSS"

A total of 550 shirts will be printed more if needed. 

John Brogan, Jr at Legends Design & Graphics is handling the shirts and has been a huge help.

My First Post- Our teams 1 rule for the year

I'm sure I'll someday regret this whole exercise, but what the hey.....Welcome to my Lacrosse Blog.

This past weekend Jan 15 - 17 Coach Alan and I were able to attend the US Lacrosse Convention in Baltimore Maryland. Lou Holtz was the keynote Speaker. And some great coaches presented and demonstrated. I picked up a lot, and as a team there is a lot we can use.

I have been thinking of ways to try and improve our team rules but maybe it might just be best to borrow something from Coach Holtz.

So to keep it simple, the Boys Lacrosse team will have one rule. School rules will apply but we will only add one more to the mix.

“Do right. Do your best. Treat
others as you want to be treated."

Lou Holtz

I think that will get us through the year.
