Fundraising Underway

Our Club is embarking on a fundraising campaign to help with rising costs and to continue to offer scholarship support to families who would struggle financially to participate in the sport.  Like most others these days, the Club finds itself facing higher costs in equipment, uniforms, and field rental.  This additional funding also helps the Club keep its fees at reasonable levels and helps bring the sport to youth in the West Des Moines Community that otherwise would not be able to afford to play.  

Your help is needed! 

• Corporate or personal sponsorship levels, Review our sponsorship levels and contact us if you’d like more information about this opportunity.  
• Area restaurants promotional night where proceeds from that evening will come back to the club – mark your calendars. 
• Grant support, if you know of any grant opportunities, please pass them onto our club so we can look into.  

Apparel Store is Open until April 3

2023 Spring Apparel Store is open March 1 – April 3.  Orders will ship directly to your home once order complete.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!!!!!

The high school girls team won the Midwest Girls Lacrosse League title on Saturday completing an undefeated season.  The Tigers defeated Duchesne in the quarters, Papillion in the semis, and then beat the Lincoln Liberty 18-15 in the hard-fought finale.  Congratulations players and coaches!  What a season!

Try Lacrosse Clinic

In partnership with the West Des Moines and Clive parks & rec departments the club held a basic skills clinic for beginning players on September 13 and 15.  Our coaches and high school players worked with 25 boys and girls in grades 3-8 to introduce the game to them.  A big thank you to all the coaches and players involved.

MGLL Recognition

Several WDM Lax players were recognized for their play this past season.  The Midwest Girls Lacrosse League announced their All Conference selections.  

Making the First Team were Alyssa Bird, Emma Larson, and Jade Wilson.  Selected to the Second Team were Ella Thompson and Alli Harty.  Congratulations girls!

First Alumni Game A Hit

The club’s first Alumni Game was a big success!  Current and past players squared off at Tiger Field for bragging rights, and the “young” guys prevailed in the waning seconds 10-9.  With some well-placed timeouts, the “old” guys made a good showing with friendly banter going back and forth.  Thanks to all that participated and that put on the event.  The club hopes to hold the game annually so please spread the word so we can get more alumni involved.
