The Crease – a note from the WLF President

Hello Lacrosse Enthusiasts!

The MLB Playoffs are starting, along with the Regular Season of the NHL.  The NBA is starting their preseason games and the NFL has completed its fourth week and we are under six months until the 2017 Lacrosse Season starts.  Don’t blink too long because it will be here before you know it.

One more year in the books and we (WLF) have experienced another double digit growth of our game.  THANK YOU to all who have done the “heavy lifting”!  Most of your efforts will never be recognized, but you should know that what you have done is very worthy.  None of us own the game because we are merely “renters” of the game until our time has come to pass it on to those behind us.  So, I say to you all… remember that we are the Ambassadors to the future of our game.

Whether you are an Administrator, Coach, Official, Umpire, Player (or the fee and equipment paying parent… been there, done that) we all have a mission to do to make sure that those who are playing today “fall in love” with the sport and carry on the game after we “retire”.  They are the next wave of Administrators, Coaches, Officials and Umpires.

We have more new Programs looking to join the WLF and are always looking for more Coaches, Officials and Umpires.  Also, a lot of local Programs need Board Members to help out.  Some folks wear so many hats in their area to make sure that the game is played, it sure would be nice to give them some help.  We are Wisconsin residents; we know how to get things done!

I wish you all a fun filled Fall Season.  In all honesty… Can any State hold a candle to Wisconsin in the Fall?

See you on the field,

Randy Kohn

On Wisconsin!
