We have some locks if you don't. 2) Choose a partner; we only have 30 lockers, so until everybody is situated, having your own locker is not an option; this is why I need your combo. 3) Choose a locker in the locker room, and then come tell Coach Bigler the number. If you fail to do this last step, then you may lose your locker. If we don't have a record of the locker you are in, then technically, you are not in a locker, and it may be assigned to someone else.

Your gear should now be with you at school everyday; if you need a locker, see the post from 3/7, as room 230 will no longer double as an equipment room.
-Rosters will be posted soon, as we have games in roughly 3 weeks and uniforms to distribute.
-If you're not going to be around for spring break practices, let Coach Bigler or Coach Smith know ASAP. Failure to personally inform us of your plans will result in consequences when you get back.
3/10/12- Vote in the T-shirt slogan poll below. Voting closes Wednesday.
3/9/12- Game schedules are updated; there was a change with the 4/7 Downers Grove game due to field restrictions. Check times and locations to update your records.
3/7/12- Locker distribution begins immediately. We are using the main locker room (off the main gym), and we have 30 lockers at this time. If you want to use a locker, here is the process you must follow: 1) Obtain a lock, either the gold-faced one the athletic department is selling or the black-faced one PE uses. We have some locks if you don't. 2) Choose a partner; we only have 30 lockers, so until everybody is situated, having your own locker is not an option; this is why I need your combo. 3) Choose a locker in the locker room, and then come tell Coach Bigler the number. If you fail to do this last step, then you may lose your locker. If we don't have a record of the locker you are in, then technically, you are not in a locker, and it may be assigned to someone else.
2/24/12- Indoor Practice Schedule:
M: 6-7:15 AM; T: 3:10-4:30 PM; W: 6-7:15 AM; Th: 3:10-4:30 PM; F: 6-7:15 AM OR 3:10-4:30 PM, depending on weather, to be decided by Wednesday afternoon. Also on Wednesdays, there will be alternating offensive and defensive classroom days after school in room 230 (Coach Bigler's room). 3/14: Attack and Middies. Review the offensive information on the players only page before then.
2/21/12- If you're playing this spring, there is a short meeting Thursday after school in room 230. We'll be covering registration issues and outlining the practice schedule. If you have questions, see Coach Bigler.

Welcome to the NEW Jacobs Lacrosse website. As it is new, it is a work in progress for now, so please bear with us as we make it. Be sure to check out the poll on the bottom of this page and the forum on the Forum page, as well as the drills and wall-ball workout.
The first day of practice will be February 27th. You MUST have all registration materials into Coach Bigler before you will be allowed to practice. Half the registration materials were handed out at the meeting on the 23rd, and the other half are available in the athletic office through Mrs. Peas. If you missed the meeting, you must see Coach Bigler to get the materials from the meeting. Again, turn in all registration materials, including fees, to Coach Bigler.
