Lady Titan LAX Family,

The 2019 Season is HERE! Now that we are “in-season”, it is going to get really busy, and we won’t slow down until Mid-May. Put your seat belts on, strap them on tight, and let take this ride! My Monday morning emails from here on out will be for what’s coming up for each week. I have added some addition information below as this is week one.

Here is what is coming up for this week:
Monday 25 FEB – First practice at the LSW Field House from 5pm-7pm. Bring tennis shoes and all equipment.
Tuesday 26 FEB – Meet at the LSW Commons at 5pm. We may go outdoors if the turf field is available, so all players should come dressed in layers with both tennis shoes and cleats and be ready to practice outdoors if we get the opportunity to use the turf field.
Wednesday 27 FEB – Meet at the LSW Commons at 5pm. We may go outdoors if the turf field is available, so all players should come dressed in layers with both tennis shoes and cleats and be ready to practice outdoors if we get the opportunity to use the turf field.
Thursday 28 FEB – Practice at the LSW Aux Gym from 5pm – 7pm. This will also be the night we announce the 2019 Varsity roster. We will also have the 2019 Mandatory Parent Meeting at 7pm in LSW’s Bateman Hall. Parents, please make every effort to attend.

Below is the “almost final” version of the 2019 schedule. Please know, that dates and/or times are subject to change, especially with this crazy weather we are having this year, so please be flexible. Pencil in these dates and times, and if something changes, I’ll be sure to let you know.

For those in their first year with the team, the format is as follows:
There are 12 total varsity teams in the metro, separated into 2 divisions. LSW is in the East Division, which are the 6 strongest programs in the KC Metro.
We play the other 5 teams in the division twice (one home, one away) for a total of 10 games. We are guaranteed a playoff spot as all 6 teams are in the playoffs, along with the top 2 teams in the other division. What we want is to be one of the top 2 seeds, so we can get a 1st round bye.
For JV, the top 4 teams out of all JV teams in the metro will play in the playoffs. For us, our goal is to play in our 4th consecutive championship game.
