On behalf of the WAX Board of Directors, I would like to thank all of the WAX family for another outstanding year of recreational lacrosse. This year, WAX had over 600 players, among 39 teams. We played a tremendous amount of lacrosse and had another wonderful time making new friends, enjoying both old and new teammates, and forging new and friendly rivalries.

The season may be over, but WAX continues on. There are numerous off season lacrosse opportunities, and we'll post many of them on this site, as well as our Facebook page. Next up is our Tyker nation for Boys, which rolls right into Fall Ball, then into our indoor season, and right into Spring 2014.

As always, a very special thank you is in order for all of the folks who took the time to volunteer with our organization. WAX is a member of the Westminster Area Recreation Council, WARC, and is run solely by volunteers. Among other things, our volunteers paint the fields, cut the grass, manage the website, run the fundraiser, organize the teams, run the evaluations, organize picture day, Wax Day, the Graduation game, as well as coach 39 teams worth of practices and games.

To all who volunteered - thank you. I can't say it often enough.

Our annual membership meeting and Board election will be held on July 8th, 7:30 PM, at the Robert Moton Building. 300 South Center Street, Westminster, MD. All members of the WAX family are invited to attend.

In closing, it's always fun to be apart of a great organization - a family that puts forth the time and effort to support our children and the sport of Lacrosse. There is always room for people to help, no experience is necessary. We'll be looking for volunteers, so if you're interested in just lending a hand, please don't be shy...we can always use more help.

Have a great summer and keep the sticks in your hands,

Bob Jenkins

Wax families,

in 2010, the Carroll County Commissioners purchased a 32 acre property off of Hook Road , just east of route 97, with the intent on developing it into a park for the Westminster Area. That property has been named Veteran's Memorial Park, and is now in the design phase of development.

WAX needs your help! 

Each season, Wax utilizes many school and park fields, and with over 600 children in the program, we are always looking for more field space. The development of Veteran's Memorial Park will help solve some of our field issues, but we need to make sure that our voice is heard, and that multi- use fields are incorporated into the design of Veteran's Memorial Park.

Tomorrow, June 13th at 7 PM, the Department of Recreation and Parks is holding the first public meeting concerning the design of Veteran's Memorial Park. 

WE NEED WAX MEMBERS TO SHOW UP TO THE MEETING! Wear your Wax wear, bring your kids in their jerseys. We need to show our size and support for multi-use fields.

Please help us provide the best facilities for our young athletes to use.

The public hearing is being held at the Westminster Baptist Church, 354 Crest Lane, Westminster, MD.

Thanks,

Bob Jenkins

The Tyker Nation Clinic June 18-July 18, 2013
 
I’ve begun to get questions about what’s next for lacrosse.  In June and July, Tyker Nation Clinic.  In September and October, Tyker Nation Fall Ball…then indoor…and then it will be spring again.
 
For several years I have run a clinic in June and July specifically for boys who will be tykers the following spring.
The Tyker Nation Clinic runs two nights per week for 5 weeks, Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
Tyker Nation is for ALL boys who will be in tykers next year.
 
Boys will be in full gear…stick, helmet, mouth guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, and a cup.  If you need equipment, it is available locally at Play It Again.
 
Tyker Nation Clinic registration also includes registration for Tyker Nation Fall Ball (Sundays, August 25 – October 21)…11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
 
I’m attaching the registration form.  We will not use online registration for off-season activities…complete the form and mail it to me at the address shown on the form (I have attached the form in two formats..as a .doc file and as a .pdf file).  I would prefer to have forms mailed to me rather than collect them the first day.  The registration fee is $50 (checks payable to WAX). For registration forms click HERE.
 
I’d love to hear that everyone is planning to participate…regardless, I would like to get a head count of players participating this summer.   To that end, please send me an e-mail…YES WE WILL or NO WE WILL NOT participate in Tyker Nation this summer.  Also I need to know about coaches who plan to help out…let me know.  There are never too many coaches at 7-8… more individual attention is good for our developing players.
 
If you have any questions, send me an e-mail.                                                                                                                                                           
 
Thanks

Do you have a son or daughter that played for WAX and is now playing for High School or College? If so, we would like to feature them on a new WAX Alumni page. We think this will be a great way to get our young players excited about their LAX future when they graduate from our program.
If you would like to feature your child on this page, simply send me their name, a picture (Optional), school they are playing/played for, and years they played for WAX.
