Welcome To the New Website!
05/09/2012
The new Valley Tigers Lacrosse Club website is now up and running.  Regular visitors will notice some design changes, part of which were required by the new server and part of which were done to spruce things up a bit.
Some older data was not carried over, such as the individual player pages.  I stopped updating those last season due to limited time.  The season by season rosters will still be present, but previous season face off statistics will not appear.  Beginning with the 2012 season, I hope to add varsity face off statistics at the end of each season.
Due to the transition process, the team email accounts for Coach Zach and myself may be down for a couple of days.  Players and parents should utilize the contact list and text or call us.  You may also contact me through Facebook.
There may be a few bugs early on, so please report any issues to me.
-Coach Adam Edgington

2012 Youth Lacrosse Program
4/20/2012
The Valley Tigers are working with the Central Iowa Lacrosse Association and the Walnut Creek YMCA to expand the youth lacrosse program this year.  The program will be open to boys and girls currently (2011-12 school year) in grades 4-8.
The YMCA will be handling the registration and fees this year.  Instruction and officiating will be conducted by Valley players and coaches.  Parents are encouraged to volunteer as the third coach for their child's team.  This is a great way for parent to become more involved with lacrosse and learn more about the game.
Registration information should be distributed before the end of April. 

5/9/2012
Registration information for the 2012 Youth Lacrosse Program is available here.  The 2012 Youth Lacrosse program is open to boys and girls in grades 4-8, based on the 2011-12 school year.

2012 P2 Lacrosse Camp In Omaha
There will be a lacrosse recruiting and skill development clinic that is coming to Omaha this summer, run by the coaches of the University of Maryland and High Point University.  There will be a few Division 2 and Division 3 coaches in attendance as well.  It will be June 25-26th at Creighton Prep High School in Omaha.  Registration info is up at www.p2lacrosse.com and the flier is attached.
"Instead of always having to travel to events, we will have college coaches within driving distance of you guys.  We are hoping to spread the word about any players out in that area to other college coaches in D1, D2, and D3 as the game keeps growing.  It will also be very instructional in the morning session, with a big key on individual skill development.  The campers will get better as they will learn things they probably have never heard before.

As I am sure you know, one of the biggest things with recruiting is word of mouth.  And with us getting out there – we hope to spread the word and help out as many kids as we can who attend and have interest in playing in college."
-Michael Phipps, Assistant Coach, High Point University
