After a strong turnout for spring practices, WDM Lax boys and girls teams have started competition. As in the past, high school boys are competing in the Nebraska-Iowa High School Lacrosse League (NELAX) and the high school girls in the Midwest Girls Lacrosse League (MGLL). High school practices started indoors in late January and their seasons will run through most of May. Middle School and Youth teams began practices right after spring break with some teams competing into early June. MS/Youth boys are competing in a league with other clubs around the state through the Iowa Lacrosse Association (ILAX).
At the high school end of season picnic the board of directors recognized several volunteers for their outstanding commitment to the club. Receiving Club Appreciation Awards were Dr. Allen Zagoren, one of our high school boys coaches. Coach Z is retiring and played a large role in developing our goalies and providing overall coaching support. Mike Ross, a parent volunteer, served the club in many roles including board member and club manager for several years. Edie & Randy DePhillips were also recognized for their leadership roles as board members and Edie serving as club president. A special thanks to them and all our volunteers!
