Lacrosse Players Meeting and OTA Schedule Information
9/3/2015
Hi All Players and Parents, 
 
We will have a boys lacrosse players ONLY meeting on Tuesday, 9/8, 3:15 in the Drivers Ed Room to discuss a few things including the Boys Lacrosse Program's Fall Off-Season OTA (organized team activities) Schedule, our VOLT Weight Training Program and the Overall Expectations for all of our student athlete's. Upon completion of the meeting we will go out and have our first Yellow Day (Conditioning/Speed, Agility, Quickness) Session, the first session will be completed no later than 5:15 PM. 
 
See the Attached PDF for the Schedule and/or CLICK HERE to be directed to the online Google calendar within the WHS Boys Lacrosse Website, if you haven't already please take a moment to familiarize yourself with website.
 
Please note, if you are currently participating in a fall sport (football, cross country, golf and etc) we ask you to please attempt to stop by the meeting for a few minutes and then proceed to get ready for your practice. Additionally, if you are playing a fall sport you ARE NOT ALLOWED to participate in our Yellow and/or Green Day Sessions as per the Westfield High School activities department guidelines, you ARE however, ALLOWED to participate in the outside tournaments and leagues we participate as a program, such as the VEL Fall League. Do not make the mistake of forgoing the VEL Fall League's once per week (1 HOUR) opportunity to play/improve your skills, many players have missed out or not participated in the past and have indicated they regretted doing so.
 
Although the OTA days/times have been approved and posted, all dates/times are subject to change, especially the winter dates/times and etc. The reason for Winter Green Day Times (these have NOT been put into the Google calendar as of today) being in the afternoon vs evening is based on a few things, specifically the evening temperatures and the outside rental/use of the stadium turf throughout the winter months.

All OTA's will be coached and administered by the Westfield High School Boys Lacrosse staff members. Recent physicals completed, submitted and on file with the training staff after May 1, 2015 are required to participate. Although highly encouraged and recommended off-season OTA participation is not required, attendance will be taken and all sessions are open to all WHS students.

Coach Polizzotti
