West Des Moines Icebreaker 2024
On April 13th our Girls held their annual ICEBREAKER Event. This is an all-girls Lacrosse event held at RecPlex in West Des Moines. This was our largest year yet with 11 HS, 4 Middle School, and 4 Youth teams from Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, South Dakota, and Kansas. Thank you to Meghan Greuver, our HS coach for organizing the event every year and to all of our parents and refs who came out to assist with the games we couldn't have done it without you.
Fundraising Underway
Our Club is embarking on a fundraising campaign to help with rising costs and to continue to offer scholarship support to families who would struggle financially to participate in the sport. Like most others these days, the Club finds itself facing higher costs in equipment, uniforms, and field rental. This additional funding also helps the Club keep its fees at reasonable levels and helps bring the sport to youth in the West Des Moines Community that otherwise would not be able to afford to play.
Your help is needed!
