A team of Middle school girls from Westfield won the 8th grade Winter Indoor league Championship at the Indoor Sports Pavillion. The team compiled a perfect 10-0 record this season defeating teams from Summit, Chatham, Ridgewood, West Essex, and Oak Knoll to win the ISP Indoor Lacrosse Championship. The team was made up of 13 eighth graders, 6 seventh graders and 4 brave six graders who all play for the Westfield Lacrosse Club in the spring. The Little Devils had a powerful attack led by Natalie Brennan, Helen Keating, Olivia Dembiec and Alyssa Teese with support from Shelby Taylor, Emily Shields and Hallie Rosenburgh. The powerful Little Devil midfield was lead by Alexis Kardias, Mary Randazzo, Jessica Castelo, Caroline Baldwin, Anna Tanji, Samantha Paoletti, Jill Burke, Caroline Meyo and Jordan Robertson. Defensively, the Little Devils were lead by Mallory Weisse in goal and assisted by the stingy defense of Rebecca Kraus, Kaitlyn Lutz, Lauren D'Amico, Natasha Peregrim, Sarah Cronin and Julia Gretsky.
The Little Devils were faced by challenges in the playoffs from Summit, West Essex and a powerful Acorn team from the Oak Knoll School in the finals. The Acorns jumped out to an early lead on the strength of their new offensive set and incredible fast break offense. The Little Devils trailed at the half but regrouped to tie the score and send the game into overtime. In overtime Alexis Kardias found Jessica Castelo on the wing who quickly fed Samantha Paoletti in the middle for the winning score.

Additional instructors will be there to assure a good coach to player ratio. There will be a specific goalie coach as well.
“This program is totally optional as the official season starts in March. However, with weather and field space always an issue I thought this would be a good outlet for extra lacrosse. We are going to limit the sign-ups to assure good instruction (around 20-25). If there is overflow, we will add hours earlier in the morning.”
“The ongoing winter training program in the turf hockey rink has been a huge success. We have noticed improvements in all players and parents have given us positive feedback. These March sessions will be a condensed version of what we have been doing: (Week 1: Skills/Drills, Week 2: Skills/Drills/Games, Week 3: Skills/Games)”

Coaches can post bulletins and send emails to the team through the website. Please do not ask the coach to add/update emails - parents should update their own contact info via the "Edit My Account" link (bottom left of home page). Also the system can send SMS txt messages to your cell phone, which can be useful for last minute field changes or cancellations. This is also done under 'edit my account' - you must enter a cell phone number AND a service provider (verizon, at&t, etc.)
Outlook Synch:
If you use MS-Outlook, you can subscribe to our calendar for updates as they occur:
Go to your team page schedule
Click the icon near the top that looks like a calendar. The flyover text says "subscribe to an iCal feed for this schedule"
Click "Allow"
On the next screen, if you have more than one child in the progam, click "Advanced" and change the folder name to something more descriptive like your child's name or the team name. Click Ok. It will create another calendar folder in Outlook and refresh it automatically as our schedules change.
Above works with Outlook 2007, earlier versions may work too but maybe differently. There are other sharing options there for facebook, etc.
Pre-printed medical release forms will be available for signing at the Parents Meetings (see schedule at right). If you miss the parents meetings, you need to download, print, and sign a blank form. Please see "Documents" menu at left. Give the completed form to your coach.
