Nantucket Student Lacrosse Season 

Summer Sessions

Ack Lax Families, we are excited to announce our the commencement of our Summer Skills program for U13 and U15 girls and boys. The safety of everyone in attendance of these sessions is the most important criteria for us to be able to begin this programming. For that reason we are limiting the size of each age group participating to 9 players and 1-3 coaches. At this point, because of the limited size of the groups, these sessions will be exclusively for Ack Lax players who signed up to participate in the 2020. We understand that 9 is small number in the big picture in trying to get as many sticks in as many hands as possible and for that reason a waitlist will be created and we attempt to set up more time periods and and provide coaches to mentor the children. 

The sessions will begin on Monday (6/29) at the Nobadeer Turf Field and will meet at least twice a week for 2 week intervals. The cost of the 4 sessions is $90. The plan is to continue these 2 week sessions further in to Summer and possibly the Fall as long as things are going in the right direction with remission of virus. Please sign your child up in the program that they were participating in this current year. The preliminary schedule is as follows as is subject to change depending on participation:

Boys U13-Mon&Wed-6/29, 7/1, 7/6, 7/8 @4:30-5:30

Boys U15-Mon&Wed-6/29, 7/1, 7/6, 7/8 @5:30-6:30

Girls U13-Tues&Thurs-6/30, 7/2, 7/7, 7/9 @4:30-5:30

Girls U15-Mon&Wed-6/29, 7/1, 7/6, 7/8 @5:30-6:30

I apologize for the short notice of the beginning of our programming, Summer has landed hard I’ve been extremely tied up both personally and professionally. I’m asking for your patience in  setting this programming into motion, please remember we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, we will put our best effort forward to get as many children as possible having fun safely with their friends. After your child’s registration I will email the waivers and safety protocols that are required to participate in the sessions, ideally if you can sign it, scan it and email or iMessage it back to me it would be greatly appreciated but I understand that some people many not be as adept with their phones as others so a glove delivered sterilized copy will suffice. All this isolation has released my sarcasm.  Un-sarcastically, Please know that without the signed waiver returned to me your child will not be allowed on the field to participate. While caution has dominated this update, I can’t tell you how excited we are to get on the turf with your children to help get them and the lacrosse ball moving while laughing, having fun and continuing to learn these 8 things: Tell the truth. Don't blame people. Be strong. Do your Best. Try hard. Forgive. Stay the course. All that kind of thing.

We are also excited to offer some new swag that will act as a safeguard in our new current reality. Our new gaitors will have you covered in Ack Lax style...

They're available for $15. To arrange for payment by Venmo, cash or check,and delivery. Please email acklax20@gmail.com
