3.) All players must provide their own equipment. 

4.) All players must complete all of the required paperwork and pay all required fees.  (Because dues are based on league fees and the number of participants, there are no refunds.)

6.) The team travels within the Southern California region and possibly other cities outside Southern California region depending on our schedule.  All players must be able to travel with the team on weekends - including Saturday and possible overnight if we play out of State Tournaments.

    B.) All players must follow the current Code of Conduct Policy.

Adrenaline Challenge Elite High School All Star Game

Vikings Made History Last Weekend

Vikings made history last weekend, with the first ever college lacrosse game in the city of Santa Monica.

We had another big win this weekend 18-3, which moved us up to # 4 in the state...  Outstanding job guys!  I would also like to thank the parents who attended yesterdays game, you were awesome. 

As a reminder, we only have one practice before our biggest game of the year against Torrance.  This will certainly let us know how were really doing against a much more competitive team.  It's mandatory for everyone to be at practice Tuesday.  Parents, were going to need all the support we can get on Wednesday.  Please come and support our Vikings.  Bring some noise, if you have a cowbell, horn,  or just a loud voice.  I'm asking you  bring it!  It's time for all of us to start coming together as we head down the road (or should I say up the road t Santa Rosa) to a state championship. Guys, I need you to go the extra mile and start working out on your own (jump rope,WABBAS, or a morning/evening runs).

Last but not least.  The state championship is coming up fast. 

Best in LAX,

Coach
