Update: Players may substitute one of their Stickworks with Cradling the Alphabet.
https://www.plusfoodsminusfoods.com/cradling-the-alphabetOur players have been successful because of their hard work, stick skills and dedication. We expect each player to do at least their lacrosse homework at least 2-3 days per week. We are going to make this competitive to encourage each girl to improve their game at home. We will do a drawing for a prize each week of May and June for any player who does at least 4 days of homework. The overall winner of the challenge, who does the most homework between now and the end of summer will win a $200 gift card. In the event of a tie, we will do gift cards shared.. A player may get 18 points maximum per week. Contest starts 4/20/2022.
