RAZORBACKS FIELD LACROSSE...

The 2016 season is quickly approaching and promises to be another exciting year for the Razorbacks. Our season consists of practices running twice per week and optional games, which we refer to as field days.

This allows players to get the full benefit of a season of practices, while having the flexibility of attending games that work with their summer schedule. A new registration will be required for each of the field days, should you choose to attend.

Each field day is hosted by a different club, such as Red Deer, Lacoka, Edmonton and Calgary. The host club determines the format. This Information will be shared with you once details are confirmed and available.

Registration is now open for 2016!!
 
Field Days have been planned as follows:
Lacombe - July 23 & 24, 2016
Red Deer - August 6 & 7, 2016
Calgary - August 20 & 21, 2016
Provincials - Leduc - August 26 - 28, 2016
 
**Please note you must register for each field day individually in order to attend**
 
 
We will be having tryouts for the A Teams, for provincials only,  in each division beginning in early August. 
 
Should you require additional information please refer back to the RAZORBACK website.
 
We also have some open positions on the executive that we need to fill in order to ensure the kids have a tremenous experience. Should you want to volunteer and help out this great program please email the club president at normmaxwell@gmail.com.

Dear Families,

Registration is open January 10, 2016 through to February 29, 2016. Registering after this time will be considered a late registration and will incur $100.00 (late) fee. Registration is accepted on a first come basis, if a division has full team rosters the player will be placed on a waiting list. No registrations will be accepted after May 15, 2016. Alberta Lacrosse Association mandated all clubs use the SportzSoft registration system, if you have not received your SportzSoft login Name and Temporary password, please email registrar@ramslacrosse.ca

Registration fees will remain the same as 2014/2015 except we will no longer collect the $30 for the Baggataway Tournament raffle tickets. Policies and Regulations are available on the Rams website; your review and acknowledgment will be required to complete the registration. 

In 2014 the St. Albert Rams changed to an improved quality, new style of shorts. Recognizing that the quality of the shorts allow for them to last several seasons your player may be able to use their shorts from the previous year(s). However if your player requires shorts for the 2016 season they can be ordered on-line while completing your registration for an additional $40.00. Please remember these shorts are mandatory for all players to wear for every game.

Calling all coaches, In order to have a rewarding year for all players and to boost player development we need great coaches; if you are interested in coaching for the upcoming season please select the option while registering.

A successful season only happens with the help and hard work of an amazing number of volunteers. There is a great spirit and family atmosphere being built at the club which serves a greater purpose than just the children playing lacrosse. There are many opportunities at the club for volunteers to become involved and make a difference, so please do not hesitate to contact one of the executive members if you would like to help out and join a great team. Or select yes on the questionnaire portion of your players registration.

Yours in Lacrosse, 
St. Albert Rams Lacrosse Executive.
