| Spring 2023 Registration is OPEN! RELAX Parents and Players,
It is that time of the year again! We are extremely excited to announce that Spring Registration is now open! We encourage people to register at their earliest convenience. The sooner we get our registration numbers set, the sooner we can determine roster sizes and roster breakdowns. Like years past, rosters will be determined based on the amount of athletes registered in each grade. Fees for the 2023 season will not be due until April 1st.
The spring season will tentatively start the first week of April (possibly earlier depending on our field allocations) and end somewhere around the first week of June. More information on uniforms, practice/game schedules, and locations will be sent out closer to the season.
If you have any questions about registration, please feel free to reach out to me (adamlanehart@gmail.com).

| Don't put your stick down!
WALL BALL is one of the best things you can do to improve catching, throwing, and shooting. All you need is a wall, your stick, and a ball.
Improves:
- Accuracy
- Stick Skills
- Passing
- Shooting
- Catching
- Dodging
- Conditioning
- Hand Eye Coordination
Strengthens:
- Wrists
- Forearms
- Body Trunk
- Core
- Shoulders
- Legs
For Best Results:
- Find a flat brick or concrete wall at least 10 feet high, the longer the better. You have permission to use the big outside wall of the gym at Barlow, the one that faces the septic field.
- Every drill that you do — do it with both hands.
- Stand 5-7 yards away from the wall.
- Practice this routine at least 4-5 times per week.
- Each practice session should be at least 20 minutes. If you finish all drills in less than 20 minutes, repeat starting with the drill that challenged you the most.
- Use your ipod!
- Have fun!
Wall Ball Drills:
- Quick Stick with no cradle. (50 right, 50 left.)

- Split Dodge: Throw right, catch right. Split dodge to left hand, throw left, catch left. Split back to right hand. (50 right, 50 left.)

- Behind the back. (50 right, 50 left).
- Pass and Catch on the move, side to side. (Go for 30 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, repeat 3 times.)
