~~Alumni Game Info/Letter from Coach Scordato~~
University of Connecticut Lacrosse Alumni and Friends:
I hope all is well and you have enjoyed your summer. I would like to take this time to explain recent news and upcoming events.
As of today, we have had a new player meeting, two try-out sessions for new players (50 tried out), an existing player meeting, our first total team meeting and our first practice. We have met with the club sports leadership and have established a new, better relationship. Depot Field has been totally re-built and is unrecognizable from when you all played there.
The players are very eager to continue their Fall Ball season. The Fall Ball schedule is completed and will be posted on the uconnlacrosse.com website in the near future. Included in the schedule is the annual Alumni game, which will be held Saturday, October 29th at 1:00pm at Depot Field. I highly encourage you to mark you calendars today and blow the dust off those sticks and helmets!
I am proposing that we make this alumni game different from the rest. I would like to make this day a networking event for the student-athletes. We will have a meet and greet after the game, and I will be asking all the alumni to introduce themselves by letting the existing players know what line of business you are in. Then, the players that have interest in your business will meet you and ask some questions. Please be on the lookout for more information on the Alumni game in the upcoming weeks.
We will also provide some options on how you, as an alumnus, will be able to contribute to the program. As you remember, funding has always been a struggle and we would like to establish a Hardship Fund for players who can not afford team dues. In addition, we are establishing a General Fund to help subsidize the total season team costs.
I am very eager to begin and look forward to meeting all the alumni who will be a part of helping this program continue to grow. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to contact me any time.
