Dear Titans Families,
We just wanted to touch base with any players who registered for female teams last year prior to our registration opening up on January 1st, 2023 at 12:00 pm (noon).
We are very aware, through conversations with our membership, as well as survey results, that many of our female teams struggled with low roster sizes. There were many challenges when running a roster with less than 17 players - especially when dealing with other activities, injuries and illness. In addition, here was also the added hurtle of finding goalies for two teams in each division.
Therefore, for the 2023 season, we have decided that in the best interest of our coaches and players - as well as female lacrosse as a whole, the Titans will be closing their registration for all female divisions at 18 runners plus a goalie. Any registrations received after the threshold is reached will be put on a wait list until we have another full team of 18 and a goalie. Any players remaining on the waitlist, at close of registration, will have the option to join another club or receive a full refund.
While we know this is absolutely not the most ideal decision, it was the only way we could ensure that our players got a proper experience of playing. But please be aware our Registrar will be watching the numbers and if we see we are just one or two short, we will be working to fill the team as well. We want as many players playing that we can, so we are not going to be inactive in our search either. So grab a friend and mark your calendars and register early!
We also have a very special announcement. The ALA has accepted our application to run a Female Only tournament in the North. As many of you know, there is a long history with Calgary’s hosting Girls Rock. By having one female tournament in the North we will be able to host teams from across the west and have a very competitive event. The “Rock the North” tournament is planned for May 5 - 7th.
On that note, we want to make the first year of “Rock the North” the absolute best experience for all athletes. Please reach out and let me know if you are interested in volunteering on our Tournament Committee - any support we have by our membership is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Karen Wellner
