Thank you for posting the gap year article and best of luck withlaxbuzz. California is a potential hotbed for young lacrosse players interested in playing in college.
I will be in California November 1-3 and presently arranging 2 additional seminars (speaking Nov. 3 in Newbury Park) for families on college recruiting. If there is interest, I could arrange a visit additional lacrosse locations while I’m out there.
I will forward my monthly articles directly to laxbuzz beginning next month.

Teams wanted: Post-season lacrosse tournament: L.A. Watts Summer Games
Time is running out to get your teams involved for this really exciting opportunity to play some high quality lacrosse this summer!
Hi everyone,
This is an update from my previous e-mail. Lax In LA’s Kate Marks and I are the chairpersons for the newest addition to the world renowned L.A. Watts Summer Games… lacrosse!
The Games were started in 1968 as a response to the 1965 Watts Riots and consists of 17 boys and girls athletic events.
The LAWSG mission (very similar to Lax In LA’s) is to build bridges of understanding among high school youth. The games strive to promote positive interaction, respect and achievement through spirited competition in athletics and arts.
Participation at the games is expected to exceed 7000 students this summer (more competitors than the Olympics!). The LAWSG is the largest high school athletics competition in the country. Please see: http://www.lawsg.org for more info.
The 2009 L.A. Watts Summer Games will take place on June 13-14 and 20-21 at the Home Depot Center, USC Galen Center, Los Angeles-Southwest College and several area high schools.
For lacrosse, the games will occur on the campus of Los Angeles-Southwest College. The plan for the boys’ side this year is to have a 16 team tournament, with a guaranteed 2 games per team. Currently registered boys’ teams are: Culver City, Palisades, Harvard-Westlake, Manual Arts and Huntington Park. We are open to out of state teams as well.
This tourney is fully cleared by the Southern and Los Angeles City Section CIF. Due to the tournament being in the summer period, CIF and Club teams may play each other! This is a great chance to play a few more games as a team after the end of your season.
Pricing per team is $150.
Please visit the LAWSG resgistration page: http://lawsg.org/Default.aspx?pageId=134066
Thanks,
-Sean McKeon

SADDLEBACK HIGH SCHOOL LACROSSE TO RETAIN CIF STATUS
JOINT BOOSTER AND DISTRICT FUNDING ASSURE CONTINUATION OF CIF LACROSSE
After two months of discussions, an understanding was reached between the Saddleback Valley School District and Saddleback Lacrosse Boosters to continue CIF lacrosse within the district. The lacrosse boosters have assured the district that the individual programs will offset additional costs that the district is unable to absorb because of the current budget constraints.
The lacrosse programs in the district have been very successful and impacts hundreds of student-athletes (six of the eight varsity teams in the district participated in the 2009 playoffs). Lacrosse provides a positive impact on the players, the high schools and the district. Because of its fast-paced competitive nature, lacrosse remains the fastest growing sport in the nation and with that, increased NCAA opportunities for the athletes.
After reviewing past expenses and projecting expenses for the upcoming year, the district requested the boosters have a specific amount of funds on-hand prior to the 2009-2010 school year. The boosters immediately satisfied that request by presenting documentation showing current balances exceeding 5-times the requested amount.
We now all look forward to the continued success of lacrosse.
