2008-Oct-19: Nothing went on this fall--Winter Ball a possiblility
Guys, there is nothing to report for this fall. Neither Mt. Adams nor Cinci went to the L'ville tourney and there were no other fall tourneys. I've heard that men's winter ball at Wall-to-Wall in Mason is going to happen this year, but it is going to be run by someone new. The source was a Mason HS player, but he seemed pretty credible. I asked him if he was referring to men's lacrosse or HS lacrosse and he said "mens". We'll see...I'll post more here when I get the details.

2008-Aug-12: Mt. Adams Leaves MCLC and Becomes Local Club
The MCLC's response to the Two-Game Proposal was 'negative-ghost rider'. Consequently, Mt. Adams will become a local club and leave the MCLC.
About four months ago the chairmen of Mt. Adams felt the MCLC travel requirement were too heavy and leaving the MCLC was the best course of action. Chairman McDonald tried the Two-Game Proposal as a mutually beneficial compromise, but it wasn't to be. Several teams in the West and one or two in the East just weren't interested.
What does this mean for our membership? Good things! No more travelling to Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Toledo, etc for away games. We will have to put together our own schedule, but we were doing that already in that the MCLC usually goofed the schedule and we had to rework it. We will focus more on games with local colleges, clubs and tournaments. Stay tuned for our fall-ball schedule--it should be out before September 1st.
2008-Jul-30: Terrace Park Mens Lacrosse Pick-Up Still Going Strong
Tom,
I wanted to follow up on the Terrace Park lax gig. I went to the last two sessions (Tues & Sat). Good laid back lax. Good field. Good guys. The demographic seems to be mostly older, novice to intermediate lax players, but there is some additional mix of age and skill level there. They could use a few more guys and it seems more guys are out there on Tuesdays than Saturdays. Times are Tues 6:30 and Sat 4:30. Note the email indicating Sunday is wrong. I learned that the hard way. The field is right next to the Terrace Park swimming pool.
If I can get enough rust off with this I may come out for some Mt. Adams fall ball. HMM.
2008-Jul-11: More Summer Lax Pickup Sunday's at Sycamore High School
Hey Guys, If you wouldn't mind forward this along to your email list for Mt. Adams. A few guys have contacted me about any playing opportunities this summer. Pickup games at Sycamore Junior High started last [Sunday] night at 6:30pm and will continue on every sunday night. Sorry for the late notice I just found out.

2008-Jun-04: Solid Turnout in Terrace Park For Men's Lax
From Greg Foote gfooteDING@D0NGarcbuildinggroup.com (remember to remove the 'ding' and 'dong' from all email addresses at this site as it is just there to deter spam bots that scrape this site)
Fellas,
Played 10 on 10 last night in Terrace Park for 4 20 minute periods!! I’m whipped.
From our group last summer, just Matt Kennedy and I played.
You guys need to get off the couch. Terrace Park has the numbers, are looking for more, have red/white jerseys ($20), and each week somebody refs.
We need Goalies!!! Riggal, where are you?
Nate? Cardell? Goold? Collete? Prezdziecki? Cody? Powers? Thatch? Pyrahna? Are you breathing?
It’s healthy, safer than a motorcycle, better for the environment than a Corvette and cheaper than a new w**e, so if you need a mid-life outlet, this is it.
The best part is, we’re growing better coaches and parents of younger players, and creating city-wide lacrosse relationships. For instance, when I’m coaching I’ll just want to cuss at you, not hit you...
They’ve arranged to play a Columbus Masters Team this Sunday in Columbus, if you are interested, let me know and I’ll hand you off for the details.
Tuesdays @ 6:30, Sundays @ 4:30, Drackett Field, Terrace Park, off Elm Street. Look it up on the web.
Be there!

2008-May-28: Summer Men's Lax Begins in Terrace Park
From Greg Foote gfooteDING@D0NGarcbuildinggroup.com (remember to remove the 'ding' and 'dong' from all email addresses at this site as it is just there to deter spam bots that scrape this site) Gents, A group of fellas in Terrace Park have a nice thing going. I played with them Sat. 9 on 9 with two subs each and a ref! Only one goalie though... Bill Hayes put on the gear for the fourth qtr. It was a lot of fun. Tonight I played again with many of the same guys. 5 on 5 with a goalie. They play every Saturday at 4:30 and Tuesday at 6:45 at Drackett Field in Terrace Park. Sometimes they play up the street next to the school (Terrace Park Elementary?) if there is a field conflict. Both fields are very nice. They have a lot of momentum with numbers and I suggest we throw in with them. It would complete what we are trying to accomplish with low commitment play. They would love to have more players so please try to make it. We can discuss any other issues over the beers you all will bring in your trunk. Greg
2008-May-24: Mt. Adams To Change MCLC Membership
2008-Jul-30: Update. There has been no word from the MCLC leadership as to a couple of proposals that Mt. Adams made. The proposals were designed to ease the travel burden on Mt. Adams players and create an open door between us and Cincinnati Mens. Even without word from the MCLC, Mt. Adams players next spring will be assured of the following:
The open-door changes will also benefit Cincinnati Mens club in making Mt. Adams players available for their games -- especially the long-distance games like Pitt, Det. and Cleveland when its hard to get players to make the drive. As I mentioned above, the open door policy is assured of happening in that the MCLC allows players to play for local clubs without it affecting their MCLC playing status. If the proposed changes are allowed then the same will be true.
Why don't I just post the proposed changes and that way you can see what I'm talking about. I call it The Two-Game Proposal and, if accepted by the MCLC, it would result in Mt. Adams happily merging with Cinci Mens. If not accepted it would most likely mean we leave the MCLC to become a local club playing games within about a one-hour radius of The Nati.
2008-May-24: The Mt. Adams team captains met three weeks ago to discuss the status of our membership in the MCLC. All options were on the table and one was selected: our MCLC membership WILL change, but we don't know the details of the change yet (more on that below).
At the meeting, all the captains agreed that the status quo isn't working for Mt. Adams and we think it probably doesn't work for the MCLC either. In fact, we know it isn't working for the MCLC, but more about that in a minute. First, how will our membership change? That is the question we're in the process of answering.
The captains felt the key issue we need to resolve is long travel times to away games. We feel there are two options that will address the travel issue:
Option 1: we leave the MCLC and become a local club: playing nearby college and club teams of which there are many--enough to fill two game schedules.
Option 2: morph our MCLC membership such that our players won't have to travel great distances if they don't want to. That is a major challenge, but not an impossible one.
We're having friendly conversations with the MCLC leadership and they agree that some changes might help. We're exploring options, but MCLC changes require the agreement of a majority of MCLC teams and that is a slow process.
For now everything is the same. Fall-ball will likely be the same as the MCLC is just a Spring league. Next Spring, however, there will be changes that will make both Mt. Adams and the MCLC happy. We'll inform you of the changes, hopefully, sometime shortly after the end of the MCLC tourney (mid-June).
2008-Apr-30: Detroit Games Cancelled Due to low turnout we've decided to cancel the games this weekend against Detroit. Sorry folks.
2008-Apr-27 (Sunday) 12:10 PM: Canton called and cancelled the 3pm game. We only had seven guys for the 1pm game against Cleveland so we had to tenatively reschedule a 4pm scrimmage today at the Mariemont field (after CLE plays CIN Men). Its CLEs option if they want to stay after to play us and we probably won't know if there will be a scrimmage until CLE finishes playing CIN.
2007-Feb-18: Fairfield (Ohio) High School Lacrosse looking for a head coach
The team will start as JV status and eventually become varsity. Contact Alan Barr, 513-000-000-659-9687 (cell) (sorry he didn't leave an email address in his message). Alan knows Rusty, but he didn't mention if it was a paid or unpaid position. This is the team's first year and the prior head coach had to bow out because of conflicting family and or job commitments.
2008-Jan-17: I spoke to Dan Fisher and he has no hard information on lax at wall-2-wall. He thinks that Velocity is *not* doing anything for the second session. There may be opportunities to play on other fields and if/when I find out about those I will post it here.
2007-Nov-28: Wall-To-Wall Thurs Night Lax
Guys,
Indoor at Wall2Wall resumes tomorrow night. There are only a few nights left for the winter session. This is a good opportunity for those of you that over ate last week and plan to over eat for the upcoming holidays. Get your lard asses out on Thursdays to run around.
See you tomorrow-

2007-Nov-15: Cincinnati Vail Teams Forming Now
From Michael Jakobi, CFP MJakobiD1NG@D0NGcinci.rr.com (TO EMAIL MIKE REMOVE THE 'DING' AND THE 'DONG' FROM HIS EMAIL ADDRESS)
Dudahs/Cincy! I am using Fish's email here to notify everyone I have the
tournament dates for VAIL, 2008, (see attached). I just finished my last
Guard duty call in Denver and have secured at least ONE sponsorship for the
ELITE and MASTERS divisions in Vail with VENDETTAS in the Vail Village.
They sponsored the last team I fielded in the Elite division. I am also
trying to get a sponsorship for the ELITE division with Fed Ex.
OK then....be advised PAT KENNEDY will handle all ELITE division recruiting
and roster selection for the ELITE team. I will handle all details for the
MASTERS division team, (ages 33 or over...no cap now at age 39 for Masters.
If you are playing in the Super Masters with the GRAYBIRDS with MJ, Harry
and Mike C, you can also play on my Masters team...but note the game days
are the same for both divisions. Super Masters gets an extra day and you
have to be at least 40 for Super Masters). ELITE division is ALL ages and PK
will handle all communications, etc., for that team as he did for
Louisville.
PK and myself are slated to get letters of invitation for the Masters and
ELITE divisions respectively in December. I will begin formal recruiting for
the Masters team at that time. If you are of Masters age and played for the
Flying Pigs in Louisville, believe me when I say you will own the Masters
division in Vail and be more than capable of playing in the ELITE division
once the Masters are finished. Sign up for both teams and it will be more
than a week long of games every day and enjoying summer in Vail.
I am also going to work on lodgings for both teams and so far I have
agreement with PRU Real Estate in Vail to discount condos 25% for both
divisions.
It takes a lot of work to ready teams for the Vail Tournament, so the key is
to let us know of your interest early enough. You can expect any player
fees will need to be paid no later than March or April of 2008 as that is
when final tournament fees are due. MIKE C went to Vail for the first time
this past summer and Fisher came for his 2nd year in a row, so they can tell
all of you what a good time it is. Since I doubt any of you listen to me.
I have been going to Vail the past 20 years in a row though and it is never
disappointing. It is worth the expense and the time. Your families will
also have a great time if you care to bring them along. More later I get
formal invitation but those who are interested in the MASTERS division,
please give me some kind of heads up you might want to play. MJ

2007-Oct-25: Cincinnati Indoor Mens Lacrosse: 3 Winter Options!!
Lacrosse in The 'Nati has come a LOOOOOONG way. This year we have 3 winter indoor options (see below). Ten years ago we had exactly zero. Many thanks to Celtic Lacrosse, Velocity Lacrosse and Laxland for pursuing their (and our) best interest.
(Celtic/River's Edge) Box lacrosse on Sunday evenings at the only specifically BOX lacrosse field in Cincinnati at the new River's Edge Indoor Lacrosse facility on Route 128 in Cleves. Free play on the preview day November 4th at 7pm. Series play starts November 11th. $60 for 6 weeks (not counting Thanksgiving) starting at 7pm. Open to all college age & up players. Registration form is attached. Use it or call Celtic Lacrosse (522-7900) or River's Edge (see reg. form) to sign up.
(Message from Velocity Lacrosse) There will be indoor this fall up at Wall2Wall, which is a full field indoor facility. It will be on Thursday nights beginning on 11/1 and running through 12/13. It will probably be later in the evening as its been in the past, 10:00pm-ish. Thanksgiving is off. Unfortunately, in order to cover field costs, there will be a charge for this. It will probably be around $15.00 per night (or $75.00 the entire session). Goalies are free. This is run by Velocity Lacrosse and Mark Lynch.
3rd Option. (message from LaxLand) Box indoor league at the Cincinnati Sports Mall on Tues. nights starting Nov. 6. The Cost will be $80.00 for 6 weeks of games. There will be one week off for Thanksgiving. I will not be doing a pay per play option. I need to have enough registations or the league is not going to happen. Let me know if you have any interest by filling out the attached registration form and including the check for $80.00. If you send a check and the league does not happen I will return your check to you. =============
2007-Oct-25: Fall Game Update: UC RSVP--Also Xavier, Miami, St. Joes
Guys,
Apologies for not having had games yet this fall. We didn't have enough guys in to do the Louisville tournament this year, & I've been getting a run-around from XU & Miami.
Things are coming along now though. This Saturday 10/27, UC is looking for a game. 2:30pm @Clark Montessori, along with some guys from Cincinnati Club.
XU wants to host us on November 10th. Time not yet set, but we should know by the end of the week.
Still working on Miami or someone else for the weekend of the 3rd/4th. If anyone has other club team contacts that they want to pursue for that, please do.
Also, on November 4th, River's Edge Indoor Sports, a new indoor soccer AND lacrosse facility on Rt. 128 (westside) is hosting a FREE open box game. Then there will be a men's box series starting November 11th. It's on Sunday evenings, the cheapest indoor in town, & the nicest field for box lacrosse anywhere around. I'd like to get everybody to come out for that so we can start pulling together before spring.
I'll follow this up with info on River's Edge & the other indoor opportunities in town. For now, please let me know a preliminary in/out for the 10th @ XU & beat the bushes for a field game on the 3rd.
Thanks!

2007-Sep-27: Fall Game Update: Maker's Mark Tourney, Xavier, Miami, Louisville RSVP
Time to get some fall ball action going! Here's what's in the works:

Working on games with Xavier & Miami. I should have those nailed down by the end of the week. If you have any weekend dates in October that you know you're OUT for, let me know & I'll try to schedule around.
Winter Box:
A new indoor facility called River's Edge Indoor Sports on the west side of Cincinnati has been working with my company to develop a facility for indoor soccer AND lacrosse. They'll be hosting a box league on Sundays at 7pm starting November 11th. BONUS FOR MT. ADAMS PLAYERS: I'm working on a deal where club members who are PAID for the year will get a nice discount. Again, I should have details confirmed by the end of the week. Let me know if you are definitely, maybe, or not interested in playing this winter so we can start to have an idea.
Get back to me by Friday morning (PLEASE!) with IN/OUT for Louisville & I'll have more details on the rest out by around that same time.
Thanks, guys!

2007-Jul-29: Cincinnati Summer Lacrosse Continues... The games continue!!
Sorry I’ve been out of the email business. Been having some satellite modem problems from the great North!
I did make it back for last 1/2 hour Monday nights game due to a flight delay.
We played three on three and had a blast. Since I’ve missed a few weeks, I relied on others reports and we continue to see different folks each week.
So grab a friend and let’s keep it going.
The sore knees do go away after a couple of weeks...
The game is on for the 30th and I’ll see you on the 6th.

2007-Jul-28: Chicago "Shoot-Out" Mens Club Lacrosse Tournament Tenatively Scheduled for 9/15-16 or 9/22-23
To Midwest Lacrosse Clubs, (midwestlacrosseDING@DONGyahoo.com -remove the ding and dong to get the real email address)
Right now the [Men's Club Lacrosse] Chicago Shoot-Out is still being organized by Rich DeLeo . . . I've spoken to Rich this week while we try to help him with logistics issues for the tourney. Most likely a Chicago Shootout will be either 9/15-16 or 9/22-23 and when I get final word from Rich I will email the list with that information ASAP.
Next year the Windy City club will be co-sponsoring or taking the lead on this tournament, fields and dates will be confirmed 6 months in advance, and since our team includes the director of the Chicago bar and restaurant association, I'm confident there will also be a damn fine tournament party.

2007-May-29: Next Box Lacrosse, June 4th in Indian Hill
Folks,
Had a great time tonight! We played 5 on 5 box rules on a short field with 3 subs. Everybody under 20 scored and no one complained about playing time.
Beers at the Winter Club were cold and the chips were fresh. Ted, the club manager, said he saw a couple cars come in and out of the parking lot. If you turned out because you didn’t see anyone, next time head on in.
Thanks to all who played.
We’re on again Monday June 4th but we’re pushing the time back to 7:00 PM because it’s easier to manage work and family schedules.
Next week I’ll keep my cell phone handy in case someone needs directions.
My cell is 513-000-227-0000-1699 (humans remove the zeros from the phone number)

2007-May-15: Summer Lax in Cincinnati
Monday Night Pickup Games from: Greg Foote gfooteDING@DONGarcbuildinggroup.com
Gents,
I've cobbed the Mt Adams Club email list to extend an invitation to folks
interested in playing on as many Monday nights as possible this summer
starting May 28th, 6:00 pm at Camp Dennison.
Afterward we'll go to the Indian Hill Winter Club for beers on the deck or
in the lounge. Please bring a few bucks for beverages.
This is primarily geared at old guys who need to go to work in one piece but
still want to play. (man I hate to say 'old') We're trying to provide an
alternative (or should I say supplement) to travel and serious competitive
play. Stick checking and incidental contact is ok but please no open field
or take out hits. If you can't keep it under control this is probably not
for you. Emphasis should be on fun and verbal abuse.
Those who have committed so far are:
Nate Levine
Matt Poirier
Steve Keller
Tim McKay
Josh Miller
Dan Fisher
Mike Collette
Greg Goold
Greg Foote
Scott de Fasselle
Greg Cardell
Charlie Mark
Chris Clinton
Dave Torggler
Tom Powers
Please email me your intention to play along with your name, email,
telephone etc. so I know who you are. For many I just have email addresses
only.
If you don't want to be on this list please let me know an I'll remove it
straight away.
Thanks, Greg

2007-Feb-03: 2007 MCLC Schedule Released
Gentlemen, (from Bill Kalbfleish, MCLC Chairman, to MCLC team presidents -- and all you other folks)
Please read carefully all of the following. I will be as brief as possible. We are growing to a considerable size, and I will point you to who need to discuss each of the topics if you have questions or issues. Please do not use this email address to contact me. I will send a new one next week.
2007 Master Schedule
This was difficult this year, because we have grown to 20 teams, 10 in each division. It is almost impossible to schedule all games unless we double up on dates and fields.
This is a "stake in the ground" reference point for games. The games listed in bold print are the priority in division games against full members. They must be played.You have the latitude to change any dates, and/or locations, provided both teams involved in the game can agree with the change. This is not meaning to bump games to accommodate one team. You have until March 15, 2007 to make changes, mutually agreed upon, and submitted back to the MCLC. After that, you will need MCLC Executive Committee approval and a reason for the change after that date. You will notice some games between divisions I placed in the schedule that are recommendations. The teams will need to agree to do this. Most are return trips, or games previously discussed. DO NOT contact me about this reference schedule. Work directly with the team contacts that will be updated by February 7, 2007 (please see below.)
There might be some errors or conflicts inadvertently listed. We will work through these. A few team do not have many home games, but your trips are very short in distance. Again, some of the games could be moved to your location.

Please contact Drew Roggenburk regarding payment of the dues. Drew is very good and very thorough. His email is droggenburkding@dongmcdinvest.com.
The deadline to have MCLC dues paid is April 15, 2007. This is the same as IRS, so it should be easy to remember. Drew, please let them know the rates for members and non-members.
2007 Rosters
Please compile a roster of your players. This should include the following:
Player name
Position
College or University (this should be the last college or university played at)
The deadline is have the roster to sent to the MCLC is March 30, 2007. Please forward a copy of the roster to ken.lding@donglacrosseamerica.com
Remember you cannot play any player in an MCLC game that has played for any other high school, college or university club or intercollegiate team, or other adult city club team during 2007. Any exceptions will be approved and reviewed by the MCLC Executive Committee prior to their participation. It is rare this had ever been granted. Violations will mean expulsion from the MCLC.
2007 League Directory
Please go into the MCLC Directory at Midwest Lacrosse and update the contact names, phone numbers and email addresses. You can do this by contacting Ken Levenberg at ken.lding@donglacrosseamerica.com. Please complete this by February 9, 2007 so that teams will know who to contact.
Professional Player eligibility
We will follow the rule being implemented by all the east coast amateur leagues since 2006. A player can be on your roster, and participate in any or all games, until they officially dress for a regular season MLL game. Once they dress for a game (even if they don't touch the field in the that game), they are immediately ineligible to play for the remainder of the season, through the playoffs (June 10, 2007) for any MCLC team. This means if a player makes a MLL team roster, but is on the practice squad only, then they are still eligible. This is the rule. This is not up for debate. The NLL Indoor players are not impacted by this, other than if they choose to try out for an MLL (outdoor) team.
MCLC Tournament
The tournament will be in Minneapolis June 9-10. I expect the teams up there to share the responsibility. I would recommend they appoint people to contact Dan Fisher and Drew Roggenburk and ask them about how this can be done. Drew can tell you the funds the MCLC supplies, the rest must be raised by the local teams hosting the tournament. Discuss this with Drew.
MCLC Tournament Team eligibility and qualifications
There will be the standard 8 teams making the playoffs (4 top seeds from each of the two divisions). We plan to add up to 12 teams, meaning that 4 teams will be selected "at large" by the MCLC Executive Committee. These teams will be selected from the full members first, and then from affiliate teams.The Executive Committee will meet on a conference call in March and determine the metrics by which to do this.We expect that strength of schedule, results among the affiliate teams playing each other, and willingness to travel to Minneapolis will be among the criteria.
This is the status of each team: (full members are in bold print, affiliate members are in non-bold print)
Eastern Division:
Cleveland
Columbus
Cincinnati
Mt. Adams
Motor City
Great Lakes
Canton
Lansing
Pittsburgh
Toledo
Western Division:
Chicago
Windy City
Lincoln Park
North Side
Minnesota Lakers
Minneapolis

2007-Jan-05: No Indoor Lacrosse Next Thursday--RV Show
Guys, there will be no indoor lacrosse next Thursday (2/8) at Wall-to-Wall in Mason due to the RV show they are having there, but we will resume Thurs., 2/15 and I think the last session is a week after that 2/22. Turnout has been perfect--just enough to make two teams and a modest bench (come on out if you haven't yet). Thanks to the many Dayton Flyers Lacrosse who came down to join us last week--keep on comin!
2007-Jan-05: Mt. Adams Indoor Practice Starts This Thurs Night
As usual it is @ 10:00 PM at Wall-to-Wall in Mason (directions at our site Links). This is the time to get yourself and your stick back in shape.
This is not just for Mt. Adams players!. So if you are a local college player or a just a player then come on out and play . . . we join up with the other cinci club and the competition level ranges from D1 all the way down to some HS experience. We'll teach you if you can be taught.

2006-Nov-02 No Game This Weekend and Winter Lax in Cincinnati
Guys,
No game this weekend. Just couldn't quite agree on the logistics. That's probably it for the fall, but we've already been contacted to start setting up games for the spring, so we should have plenty of playing opportunities for the spring.
Indoor lacrosse is ready to start though. First sessions are this week.
BOX LACROSSE- Celtic Lacrosse has a Friday afternoon box league at Soccer City in Colerain. The biggest downside is time- probably tough for most on this list to be free at that time. 1/2 price for Mt. Adams players & Goalies free! Info @ Celtic Lacrosse
FIELD LACROSSE- Wall2Wall is starting up tomorrow night (Thursday). Info is below. Starts at 10pm. Ends theoretically around 11:30 or, more accurately, whenever the midfielders give out. The cost will be $10/ player or you can get a discount usually if you pay in advance for all the sessions. Talk to Jon Simon jsimon_43ding@dongyahoo.com for more details (but remove the 'ding' and the 'dong' part from his email address.
Finally, if anyone could/would help me put together a team get-together or two for this off-season, please let me know.
Thanks!

2006-Jul-10: Anderson HS Seeking Lax Head Coach (possibly paid)
Sean and Tom,
We haven't met but I have assisted Carroll Roberts for the past two years as coach of the boys lacrosse program at Anderson high school. Carroll will be volunteering with the Blue Jay program which is the middle school feeder program for many of the area high schools. Myself, well I have made it know that I am interested in volunteering my services to the girls program at Anderson. I have not had acknowledgment at this time but if it happens the boys program will be in need of talented coaches to continue the Anderson programs winning traditions. To my knowledge no one at Anderson has begun to seek coaches so if you know of anyone in the area that would be open to volunteering ( at least at this time) their time to the Anderson program please have them contact me by phone, my cell is 513-608-7964
Thank you for your consideration

2006-May-25: MCLC Playoff Schedule Set
Gentlemen,
Here is the tentative bracket for the tourney. The idea is this - for all the lower brackets (at the end of the day) to finish on Sat and not have to play early Sunday morning. Historically, many of the teams playing for the lower places (ie - 5-6 or 7-8 place) that have to play early on Sun have no-shows and it screws the team that got up early and showed up - they then try to get a half hearted game with whomever will play them. It can be a long day with 3 games, but many tourneys are like this. If both teams agree, you can cut the quarters down to 15 minute running instead of the standard 20 minute running.
Because there are 10 teams, there will be an INTRA-division "play in" between the 4th and 5th seed to get into the 4th seed for the 8 team bracket. The two losers of the 4th seed "play in" will play eachother for a second game and each of them will then play Mt Adams later that day for their third game.
The 3-4 place and championship games will be on Sunday.
Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Club Lax Players,
Kings Middle School is looking for a caoch or 2 or 3 for next year forward. There is a great crop of 7th graders coming back for their 8th grade year next season, and the sport has gotten big in the school. The coach does get paid. The team plays on a new field turf stadium.

If anyone is interested in getting involved (even if it is part time), please call me at 513-317-4704 or e-mail sauervilleno@spamycinci.rr.com

2006-May-18: Cincinnati Hotels Hosting MCLC Tourney Teams
All,
Here is a prelimary info sheet for hotels (see below). I don't have any special offers from the hotels, but if you call and coordinate for you teams, you should be able to work something out. I created links for hotels near the fields(North East of the City) and closer to the nightlife (closer to downtown) - we all know people choose different options depending on what their age and intentions.
I'm firming up the tourney party option(s) so I will get that info as soon as it's available.
So everyone knows, the fields are natural grass (stuff we played on as kids), but it's a park with irrigation, etc. so it's in nice condition.
Looking forward to seeing you all here.Please let me know if you have any questions.
Dan Fisher

P.S.In consideration of teams traveling, I will try to accommodate the furthest teams when doing brackets.

Guys/Rosie:
See message to me below: Info regarding St Ursula Girls team - they have to find coaches now - need help in bad way. ++++++++++++++
Dan,
Yesterday, I was contacted by Mike Sipes, athletic director for St. Ursula Academy. In the past few months, they have lost their entire coaching staff due to job relocation/job promotion/job conflict, and are now desperate for coaches (obviously if they are contacting me). I told Mike I could get the word out to the Cincinnati lacrosse world to see if there is anyone who may be interested. Since they are desperate, they are looking for any level of participation. All coaching positions must be hired and they are paying!!
Please pass this along to any lax men/women you know and ask people tocontact Mike directly if they are interested. msipes@saintursula.org St. Ursula Girls Lacrosse/Athletics Site.

2005-Oct-06: LaxFest Cancelled, Mt. Adams to Practice This Sunday
Dan Fisher from Cincinnati Mens wrote me today that LaxFest was cancelled for this year because he couldn't get anyone to help him coordinate the fields. That is a shame because LaxFest has been a pretty good time in the past. Next year we will have to team up with Cinci to coordinate it. They may have better players than us (today), but I think it is fair to say we beat them on organization and team spirit.
PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE LAXFEST AND L'VILLE they are different tournaments. L'ville (Derby City Tourney) is stil on for next weekend (Oct 15-16).
Here is the current plan for practice on Sunday (Oct. 8).
From Murph: This looks like the plan, we will know shortly
My proposal- Practice Sunday at 5:30pm. This gives us up to 2 hours of
daylight (I'm sure we won't go that long) followed by
dinner/pre-game/watching the Bengals game at Buffalo Wild Wings or
Colerain Brewing Company(name?) on Colerain or Fricker's on Hamilton.
Dude, as entertainment chair, please make the call on the venue, then
let's put out the Bat-signal.

Guys,
With fall ball approaching, I want to let you know about a fall league I'm putting together here in town for high school players & older. It's on Thursday nights, 6-7:30pm, at Francis RecreAcres in Blue Ash/Sharonville (Conrey Road, off Kemper Road just east of Reed Hartman Highway).
The league starts this Thursday and runs until October 20. To cover field rental costs & refs, I have to charge something for the session, but for Mt. Adams players I'll do it at cost- $20.
Please let me know if you're interested so I can save a spot, and then hopefully I'll see many of you on Thursday nights!

Here is a letter from Rick Husa (rhusa@woh.rr.com), President of the new Dayton (Flyers?) Lacrosse Club to Mt. Adam's club chairman Gregg Eifert:
Gregg,
We had our first practice Tuesday and have another scheduled this Tuesday. We had 11 guys show up , but another 10-14 have expressed a desire to play. I think it would be great to play Mt. Adams. I mentioned to Jay that I had met you and that it would be great to schedule a game. Either he or I will be getting back with Mike.
Thanks for the note. By the way , the former Wings attackman playing for Columbus is Jeff Harris.
Take care, Rick
2005-July-31: Murph Helps Ireland Win Celtic Cup
Rams,
Thanks to Tom for his recent update email. In my absence since the
meeting, I've been in Ireland & Wales helping win the inaugural Celtic
Cup Lacrosse Tournament (Ireland, Scotland, & Wales).
Historical note: The last time a lacrosse team in/from Ireland won a
game in the British Isles was in 1932, against... Cornell. Thanks
again, Tom. :-)
Below is a summary of the tourney, copied from an email sent by my dad.
Look forward to seeing you all when I get back!
It was A great day for the Irish as Ireland defeats Scotland 6 to 5 in
a real nail biter to win the Celtic Cup. It was a tough game and the Irish
had to over come 2 injuries and some rather questionable officiating to
win the Celtic Cup in Cardiff, Wales. There were 7 changes of position
in the last 2 minutes 1) on an Irish stick check and 2) a second on a
delay of game after an Irish time out but, the defensive held up. I
think Ireland needs to get an official Internationally certified. The
lads and the coaches were ecstatic. Irish coach Richey Moran who has
won 3 division one NCAA titles at Cornel and a World Cup coaching the
US team said that this was one of the toughest victories he could
remember. He said "if you only score 12 goals in two games and you walk
away with 2 victories you must be playing some good defense".
In other games held yesterday and today Scotland defeated Wales 17 to 4
to take second place and Ireland's developmental team lost to the Wales
development squad 8 to 4.
The Celtic Cup is not one of the most important lacrosse events in the
world but, this victory was very important for the Ireland Lacrosse
Federation in giving them some significant leverage in their on going
negations with the official sports governing body in Ireland.

2005-July-18: Chairmens Meeting Minutes
The Mt. Adams Lax Club chairmen met for the first time in five years! A clear indication that the club is starting to get more organized! The meeting included the chairs of:
Attendance: Tom McDonald
Recruiting: Sean Murphy
Finance: Kevin Laska
Scheduling & Refs: Ellerbrock
Missing, but not forgotten chairmen were.
Entertainment: Dude and Andy Hayes
Attendance: Gregg Eifert
Many items were discussed and resolved, but the most important was the election of our new President! But first, our current President, Bill Mathis, was voted President Emeritus for Life. The team hadn't had a election in five years and since Bill has moved into semi-retirement Chairman McDonald nominated Sean Murphy for the spot and he was unanimously voted our new President. Congratulation El Guapo Muph!
The other items covered at the meeting were:
--Team Clubhouse & Charity
--Team Uniforms & Promotions
--Team Insurance & Finances
--Team Practices & Scheduling & Fall L'Ville Tourney (Oct. 15 & 16)
TEAM CLUBHOUSE & CHARITY
In order to encourage team get togethers the chairmen resolved to find a team clubhouse! Many ideas were discussed including getting sponsored by the Cincinnati Men's Club, but the most promising option was suggested by Murph regarding a clubhouse near Colerain that he might be able to get for the team. The clubhouse is being sought by another Irish club that Murph is familiar with and he thinks we may be able to share the clubhouse in return for our team members helping with upkeep. The building has a bar and a large party room and would be close to our new turf field in Colerain. Murph said he would follow-up.
Relatedly, the chairmen decided that we need a new chair to take care of community outreach issues, like taking care of municipal properties that we use for clubhouses, as well as charities that our players could help. Gregg Eifert was nominated and elected (in absentia) for the new chair. Congrats to Gregg (assuming he wants it)!
UNIFORMS & PROMOTIONS
Chairmen Dude has completed the uniform deal with our new sponsor Budweiser. The new uniforms are will be screened with our logo shortly. The chairmen felt this will be a great recruiting tool in that we can give uniforms to our players and not have to take them back after every game.
The Chairmen felt a Mt. Adams bumper stickers would be another good recruiting item. Entertainment co-Chairman Andy Hayes was appointed to design the bumper sticker (in absentia).
FINANCE
Finance Chairman Laska reported that the team is in good financial shape. He is looking into setting the team up with insurance through US Lacrosse. Additionally, he is setting up a Paypal account to so our members can more easily pay their dues.
SCHEDULING, PRACTICES & L'VILLE TOURNEY
Scheduling Chairman Ellerbrock got us into the Fall L'Ville Tourney (Oct. 15 & 16)
The two day tourney will have 2 divisions of 4 teams, each team will play the other teams in their division and the best 2 win/loss teams from each division make playoffs on Sunday.
Teams:
Louisville
Cincinnati
Nashville
Memphis
St. Louis
North Side - Chicago
Windy City - Chicago
Mt. Adams - Cincinnati
Chairman Ellerbrock also plans to set up our first official team practice in about five years. He plans to leave a few weekends open before our season commences next season so that we can practice as a team.
Mike was also going to talk to Chairman Dude to see if we could set up an old-timers game/practice/awards party in mid-September before the L'ville Tourney. The party afterward would be at our new post-game party sponsor (I've forgotten the name of the bar, but the Dude set this sponsorship for us. Thanks again Dude, you're on a roll!).
That's all for now, and if you can help out please let one of the Chairmen know!
2005-June-14: Rouse, Chavez and Kroger Enter Hall, The Beechuks are Fan(s) of the Year!
Congratulations to our newest Hall members. There was a close battle for the last spot, but Kroger edged out Mully. Mully will get another shot next year.

Guys, there is nothing to report for this fall. Neither Mt. Adams nor Cinci went to the L'ville tourney and there were no other fall tourneys. I've heard that men's winter ball at Wall-to-Wall in Mason is going to happen this year, but it is going to be run by someone new. The source was a Mason HS player, but he seemed pretty credible. I asked him if he was referring to men's lacrosse or HS lacrosse and he said "mens". We'll see...I'll post more here when I get the details.

2008-Aug-12: Mt. Adams Leaves MCLC and Becomes Local Club
The MCLC's response to the Two-Game Proposal was 'negative-ghost rider'. Consequently, Mt. Adams will become a local club and leave the MCLC.
About four months ago the chairmen of Mt. Adams felt the MCLC travel requirement were too heavy and leaving the MCLC was the best course of action. Chairman McDonald tried the Two-Game Proposal as a mutually beneficial compromise, but it wasn't to be. Several teams in the West and one or two in the East just weren't interested.
What does this mean for our membership? Good things! No more travelling to Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Toledo, etc for away games. We will have to put together our own schedule, but we were doing that already in that the MCLC usually goofed the schedule and we had to rework it. We will focus more on games with local colleges, clubs and tournaments. Stay tuned for our fall-ball schedule--it should be out before September 1st.
2008-Jul-30: Terrace Park Mens Lacrosse Pick-Up Still Going Strong
Tom,
I wanted to follow up on the Terrace Park lax gig. I went to the last two sessions (Tues & Sat). Good laid back lax. Good field. Good guys. The demographic seems to be mostly older, novice to intermediate lax players, but there is some additional mix of age and skill level there. They could use a few more guys and it seems more guys are out there on Tuesdays than Saturdays. Times are Tues 6:30 and Sat 4:30. Note the email indicating Sunday is wrong. I learned that the hard way. The field is right next to the Terrace Park swimming pool.
If I can get enough rust off with this I may come out for some Mt. Adams fall ball. HMM.

2008-Jun-04: Solid Turnout in Terrace Park For Men's Lax
From Greg Foote gfooteDING@D0NGarcbuildinggroup.com (remember to remove the 'ding' and 'dong' from all email addresses at this site as it is just there to deter spam bots that scrape this site)
Fellas,
Played 10 on 10 last night in Terrace Park for 4 20 minute periods!! I’m whipped.
From our group last summer, just Matt Kennedy and I played.
You guys need to get off the couch. Terrace Park has the numbers, are looking for more, have red/white jerseys ($20), and each week somebody refs.
We need Goalies!!! Riggal, where are you?
Nate? Cardell? Goold? Collete? Prezdziecki? Cody? Powers? Thatch? Pyrahna? Are you breathing?
It’s healthy, safer than a motorcycle, better for the environment than a Corvette and cheaper than a new w**e, so if you need a mid-life outlet, this is it.
The best part is, we’re growing better coaches and parents of younger players, and creating city-wide lacrosse relationships. For instance, when I’m coaching I’ll just want to cuss at you, not hit you...
They’ve arranged to play a Columbus Masters Team this Sunday in Columbus, if you are interested, let me know and I’ll hand you off for the details.
Tuesdays @ 6:30, Sundays @ 4:30, Drackett Field, Terrace Park, off Elm Street. Look it up on the web.
Be there!

2008-May-28: Summer Men's Lax Begins in Terrace Park
From Greg Foote gfooteDING@D0NGarcbuildinggroup.com (remember to remove the 'ding' and 'dong' from all email addresses at this site as it is just there to deter spam bots that scrape this site) Gents, A group of fellas in Terrace Park have a nice thing going. I played with them Sat. 9 on 9 with two subs each and a ref! Only one goalie though... Bill Hayes put on the gear for the fourth qtr. It was a lot of fun. Tonight I played again with many of the same guys. 5 on 5 with a goalie. They play every Saturday at 4:30 and Tuesday at 6:45 at Drackett Field in Terrace Park. Sometimes they play up the street next to the school (Terrace Park Elementary?) if there is a field conflict. Both fields are very nice. They have a lot of momentum with numbers and I suggest we throw in with them. It would complete what we are trying to accomplish with low commitment play. They would love to have more players so please try to make it. We can discuss any other issues over the beers you all will bring in your trunk. Greg
2008-May-24: Mt. Adams To Change MCLC Membership
2008-Jul-30: Update. There has been no word from the MCLC leadership as to a couple of proposals that Mt. Adams made. The proposals were designed to ease the travel burden on Mt. Adams players and create an open door between us and Cincinnati Mens. Even without word from the MCLC, Mt. Adams players next spring will be assured of the following:
- Most of Mt. Adams games will be in the Cincinnati metro area and the farthest a Mt. Adams player has to go to an away game would be (roughly) one hour.
- There will be an open door between Mt. Adams Mens Club and Cincinnati Mens such that players may play on either team without having to choose one over the other.
The open-door changes will also benefit Cincinnati Mens club in making Mt. Adams players available for their games -- especially the long-distance games like Pitt, Det. and Cleveland when its hard to get players to make the drive. As I mentioned above, the open door policy is assured of happening in that the MCLC allows players to play for local clubs without it affecting their MCLC playing status. If the proposed changes are allowed then the same will be true.
Why don't I just post the proposed changes and that way you can see what I'm talking about. I call it The Two-Game Proposal and, if accepted by the MCLC, it would result in Mt. Adams happily merging with Cinci Mens. If not accepted it would most likely mean we leave the MCLC to become a local club playing games within about a one-hour radius of The Nati.
2008-May-24: The Mt. Adams team captains met three weeks ago to discuss the status of our membership in the MCLC. All options were on the table and one was selected: our MCLC membership WILL change, but we don't know the details of the change yet (more on that below).
At the meeting, all the captains agreed that the status quo isn't working for Mt. Adams and we think it probably doesn't work for the MCLC either. In fact, we know it isn't working for the MCLC, but more about that in a minute. First, how will our membership change? That is the question we're in the process of answering.
The captains felt the key issue we need to resolve is long travel times to away games. We feel there are two options that will address the travel issue:
Option 1: we leave the MCLC and become a local club: playing nearby college and club teams of which there are many--enough to fill two game schedules.
Option 2: morph our MCLC membership such that our players won't have to travel great distances if they don't want to. That is a major challenge, but not an impossible one.
We're having friendly conversations with the MCLC leadership and they agree that some changes might help. We're exploring options, but MCLC changes require the agreement of a majority of MCLC teams and that is a slow process.
For now everything is the same. Fall-ball will likely be the same as the MCLC is just a Spring league. Next Spring, however, there will be changes that will make both Mt. Adams and the MCLC happy. We'll inform you of the changes, hopefully, sometime shortly after the end of the MCLC tourney (mid-June).
2008-Apr-30: Detroit Games Cancelled Due to low turnout we've decided to cancel the games this weekend against Detroit. Sorry folks.
2008-Apr-27 (Sunday) 12:10 PM: Canton called and cancelled the 3pm game. We only had seven guys for the 1pm game against Cleveland so we had to tenatively reschedule a 4pm scrimmage today at the Mariemont field (after CLE plays CIN Men). Its CLEs option if they want to stay after to play us and we probably won't know if there will be a scrimmage until CLE finishes playing CIN.
2007-Feb-18: Fairfield (Ohio) High School Lacrosse looking for a head coach
The team will start as JV status and eventually become varsity. Contact Alan Barr, 513-000-000-659-9687 (cell) (sorry he didn't leave an email address in his message). Alan knows Rusty, but he didn't mention if it was a paid or unpaid position. This is the team's first year and the prior head coach had to bow out because of conflicting family and or job commitments.
2008-Jan-17: I spoke to Dan Fisher and he has no hard information on lax at wall-2-wall. He thinks that Velocity is *not* doing anything for the second session. There may be opportunities to play on other fields and if/when I find out about those I will post it here.

Indoor at Wall2Wall resumes tomorrow night. There are only a few nights left for the winter session. This is a good opportunity for those of you that over ate last week and plan to over eat for the upcoming holidays. Get your lard asses out on Thursdays to run around.

2007-Nov-15: Cincinnati Vail Teams Forming Now
From Michael Jakobi, CFP MJakobiD1NG@D0NGcinci.rr.com (TO EMAIL MIKE REMOVE THE 'DING' AND THE 'DONG' FROM HIS EMAIL ADDRESS)
Dudahs/Cincy! I am using Fish's email here to notify everyone I have the
tournament dates for VAIL, 2008, (see attached). I just finished my last
Guard duty call in Denver and have secured at least ONE sponsorship for the
ELITE and MASTERS divisions in Vail with VENDETTAS in the Vail Village.
They sponsored the last team I fielded in the Elite division. I am also
trying to get a sponsorship for the ELITE division with Fed Ex.
OK then....be advised PAT KENNEDY will handle all ELITE division recruiting
and roster selection for the ELITE team. I will handle all details for the
MASTERS division team, (ages 33 or over...no cap now at age 39 for Masters.
If you are playing in the Super Masters with the GRAYBIRDS with MJ, Harry
and Mike C, you can also play on my Masters team...but note the game days
are the same for both divisions. Super Masters gets an extra day and you
have to be at least 40 for Super Masters). ELITE division is ALL ages and PK
will handle all communications, etc., for that team as he did for
Louisville.
PK and myself are slated to get letters of invitation for the Masters and
ELITE divisions respectively in December. I will begin formal recruiting for
the Masters team at that time. If you are of Masters age and played for the
Flying Pigs in Louisville, believe me when I say you will own the Masters
division in Vail and be more than capable of playing in the ELITE division
once the Masters are finished. Sign up for both teams and it will be more
than a week long of games every day and enjoying summer in Vail.
I am also going to work on lodgings for both teams and so far I have
agreement with PRU Real Estate in Vail to discount condos 25% for both
divisions.
It takes a lot of work to ready teams for the Vail Tournament, so the key is
to let us know of your interest early enough. You can expect any player
fees will need to be paid no later than March or April of 2008 as that is
when final tournament fees are due. MIKE C went to Vail for the first time
this past summer and Fisher came for his 2nd year in a row, so they can tell
all of you what a good time it is. Since I doubt any of you listen to me.
I have been going to Vail the past 20 years in a row though and it is never
disappointing. It is worth the expense and the time. Your families will
also have a great time if you care to bring them along. More later I get
formal invitation but those who are interested in the MASTERS division,
please give me some kind of heads up you might want to play. MJ

2007-Oct-25: Cincinnati Indoor Mens Lacrosse: 3 Winter Options!!
Lacrosse in The 'Nati has come a LOOOOOONG way. This year we have 3 winter indoor options (see below). Ten years ago we had exactly zero. Many thanks to Celtic Lacrosse, Velocity Lacrosse and Laxland for pursuing their (and our) best interest.
(Celtic/River's Edge) Box lacrosse on Sunday evenings at the only specifically BOX lacrosse field in Cincinnati at the new River's Edge Indoor Lacrosse facility on Route 128 in Cleves. Free play on the preview day November 4th at 7pm. Series play starts November 11th. $60 for 6 weeks (not counting Thanksgiving) starting at 7pm. Open to all college age & up players. Registration form is attached. Use it or call Celtic Lacrosse (522-7900) or River's Edge (see reg. form) to sign up.
(Message from Velocity Lacrosse) There will be indoor this fall up at Wall2Wall, which is a full field indoor facility. It will be on Thursday nights beginning on 11/1 and running through 12/13. It will probably be later in the evening as its been in the past, 10:00pm-ish. Thanksgiving is off. Unfortunately, in order to cover field costs, there will be a charge for this. It will probably be around $15.00 per night (or $75.00 the entire session). Goalies are free. This is run by Velocity Lacrosse and Mark Lynch.
3rd Option. (message from LaxLand) Box indoor league at the Cincinnati Sports Mall on Tues. nights starting Nov. 6. The Cost will be $80.00 for 6 weeks of games. There will be one week off for Thanksgiving. I will not be doing a pay per play option. I need to have enough registations or the league is not going to happen. Let me know if you have any interest by filling out the attached registration form and including the check for $80.00. If you send a check and the league does not happen I will return your check to you. =============
2007-Oct-25: Fall Game Update: UC RSVP--Also Xavier, Miami, St. Joes
Guys,
Apologies for not having had games yet this fall. We didn't have enough guys in to do the Louisville tournament this year, & I've been getting a run-around from XU & Miami.
Things are coming along now though. This Saturday 10/27, UC is looking for a game. 2:30pm @Clark Montessori, along with some guys from Cincinnati Club.
XU wants to host us on November 10th. Time not yet set, but we should know by the end of the week.
Still working on Miami or someone else for the weekend of the 3rd/4th. If anyone has other club team contacts that they want to pursue for that, please do.
Also, on November 4th, River's Edge Indoor Sports, a new indoor soccer AND lacrosse facility on Rt. 128 (westside) is hosting a FREE open box game. Then there will be a men's box series starting November 11th. It's on Sunday evenings, the cheapest indoor in town, & the nicest field for box lacrosse anywhere around. I'd like to get everybody to come out for that so we can start pulling together before spring.
I'll follow this up with info on River's Edge & the other indoor opportunities in town. For now, please let me know a preliminary in/out for the 10th @ XU & beat the bushes for a field game on the 3rd.
Thanks!

2007-Sep-27: Fall Game Update: Maker's Mark Tourney, Xavier, Miami, Louisville RSVP
Time to get some fall ball action going! Here's what's in the works:
Fall games:
Maker's Mark Tournament (Louisville) October 20-21st; we're planning to team up with Cincinnati to have one squad big enough for 3-4 games over the weekend. REPLY BACK WITH IN/OUT FOR SATURDAY AND/OR SUNDAY AND IF YOU WANT A ROOM IN LOUISVILLE FOR OVERNIGHT SATURDAY.
Working on games with Xavier & Miami. I should have those nailed down by the end of the week. If you have any weekend dates in October that you know you're OUT for, let me know & I'll try to schedule around.
Winter Box:
A new indoor facility called River's Edge Indoor Sports on the west side of Cincinnati has been working with my company to develop a facility for indoor soccer AND lacrosse. They'll be hosting a box league on Sundays at 7pm starting November 11th. BONUS FOR MT. ADAMS PLAYERS: I'm working on a deal where club members who are PAID for the year will get a nice discount. Again, I should have details confirmed by the end of the week. Let me know if you are definitely, maybe, or not interested in playing this winter so we can start to have an idea.
Get back to me by Friday morning (PLEASE!) with IN/OUT for Louisville & I'll have more details on the rest out by around that same time.
Thanks, guys!

2007-Jul-29: Cincinnati Summer Lacrosse Continues... The games continue!!
Sorry I’ve been out of the email business. Been having some satellite modem problems from the great North!
I did make it back for last 1/2 hour Monday nights game due to a flight delay.
We played three on three and had a blast. Since I’ve missed a few weeks, I relied on others reports and we continue to see different folks each week.
So grab a friend and let’s keep it going.
The sore knees do go away after a couple of weeks...
The game is on for the 30th and I’ll see you on the 6th.

2007-Jul-28: Chicago "Shoot-Out" Mens Club Lacrosse Tournament Tenatively Scheduled for 9/15-16 or 9/22-23
To Midwest Lacrosse Clubs, (midwestlacrosseDING@DONGyahoo.com -remove the ding and dong to get the real email address)
Right now the [Men's Club Lacrosse] Chicago Shoot-Out is still being organized by Rich DeLeo . . . I've spoken to Rich this week while we try to help him with logistics issues for the tourney. Most likely a Chicago Shootout will be either 9/15-16 or 9/22-23 and when I get final word from Rich I will email the list with that information ASAP.
Next year the Windy City club will be co-sponsoring or taking the lead on this tournament, fields and dates will be confirmed 6 months in advance, and since our team includes the director of the Chicago bar and restaurant association, I'm confident there will also be a damn fine tournament party.

2007-May-29: Next Box Lacrosse, June 4th in Indian Hill
Folks,
Had a great time tonight! We played 5 on 5 box rules on a short field with 3 subs. Everybody under 20 scored and no one complained about playing time.
Beers at the Winter Club were cold and the chips were fresh. Ted, the club manager, said he saw a couple cars come in and out of the parking lot. If you turned out because you didn’t see anyone, next time head on in.
Thanks to all who played.
We’re on again Monday June 4th but we’re pushing the time back to 7:00 PM because it’s easier to manage work and family schedules.
Next week I’ll keep my cell phone handy in case someone needs directions.
My cell is 513-000-227-0000-1699 (humans remove the zeros from the phone number)
See you at Camp D June 4th!

2007-May-15: Summer Lax in Cincinnati
Monday Night Pickup Games from: Greg Foote gfooteDING@DONGarcbuildinggroup.com
Gents,
I've cobbed the Mt Adams Club email list to extend an invitation to folks
interested in playing on as many Monday nights as possible this summer
starting May 28th, 6:00 pm at Camp Dennison.
Afterward we'll go to the Indian Hill Winter Club for beers on the deck or
in the lounge. Please bring a few bucks for beverages.
This is primarily geared at old guys who need to go to work in one piece but
still want to play. (man I hate to say 'old') We're trying to provide an
alternative (or should I say supplement) to travel and serious competitive
play. Stick checking and incidental contact is ok but please no open field
or take out hits. If you can't keep it under control this is probably not
for you. Emphasis should be on fun and verbal abuse.
Those who have committed so far are:
Nate Levine
Matt Poirier
Steve Keller
Tim McKay
Josh Miller
Dan Fisher
Mike Collette
Greg Goold
Greg Foote
Scott de Fasselle
Greg Cardell
Charlie Mark
Chris Clinton
Dave Torggler
Tom Powers
Please email me your intention to play along with your name, email,
telephone etc. so I know who you are. For many I just have email addresses
only.
If you don't want to be on this list please let me know an I'll remove it
straight away.
Thanks, Greg

2007-Feb-03: 2007 MCLC Schedule Released
Gentlemen, (from Bill Kalbfleish, MCLC Chairman, to MCLC team presidents -- and all you other folks)
Please read carefully all of the following. I will be as brief as possible. We are growing to a considerable size, and I will point you to who need to discuss each of the topics if you have questions or issues. Please do not use this email address to contact me. I will send a new one next week.
2007 Master Schedule
This was difficult this year, because we have grown to 20 teams, 10 in each division. It is almost impossible to schedule all games unless we double up on dates and fields.
This is a "stake in the ground" reference point for games. The games listed in bold print are the priority in division games against full members. They must be played.You have the latitude to change any dates, and/or locations, provided both teams involved in the game can agree with the change. This is not meaning to bump games to accommodate one team. You have until March 15, 2007 to make changes, mutually agreed upon, and submitted back to the MCLC. After that, you will need MCLC Executive Committee approval and a reason for the change after that date. You will notice some games between divisions I placed in the schedule that are recommendations. The teams will need to agree to do this. Most are return trips, or games previously discussed. DO NOT contact me about this reference schedule. Work directly with the team contacts that will be updated by February 7, 2007 (please see below.)
There might be some errors or conflicts inadvertently listed. We will work through these. A few team do not have many home games, but your trips are very short in distance. Again, some of the games could be moved to your location.
2007 Dues
Please contact Drew Roggenburk regarding payment of the dues. Drew is very good and very thorough. His email is droggenburkding@dongmcdinvest.com.
The deadline to have MCLC dues paid is April 15, 2007. This is the same as IRS, so it should be easy to remember. Drew, please let them know the rates for members and non-members.
2007 Rosters
Please compile a roster of your players. This should include the following:
Player name
Position
College or University (this should be the last college or university played at)
The deadline is have the roster to sent to the MCLC is March 30, 2007. Please forward a copy of the roster to ken.lding@donglacrosseamerica.com
Remember you cannot play any player in an MCLC game that has played for any other high school, college or university club or intercollegiate team, or other adult city club team during 2007. Any exceptions will be approved and reviewed by the MCLC Executive Committee prior to their participation. It is rare this had ever been granted. Violations will mean expulsion from the MCLC.
2007 League Directory
Please go into the MCLC Directory at Midwest Lacrosse and update the contact names, phone numbers and email addresses. You can do this by contacting Ken Levenberg at ken.lding@donglacrosseamerica.com. Please complete this by February 9, 2007 so that teams will know who to contact.
Professional Player eligibility
We will follow the rule being implemented by all the east coast amateur leagues since 2006. A player can be on your roster, and participate in any or all games, until they officially dress for a regular season MLL game. Once they dress for a game (even if they don't touch the field in the that game), they are immediately ineligible to play for the remainder of the season, through the playoffs (June 10, 2007) for any MCLC team. This means if a player makes a MLL team roster, but is on the practice squad only, then they are still eligible. This is the rule. This is not up for debate. The NLL Indoor players are not impacted by this, other than if they choose to try out for an MLL (outdoor) team.
MCLC Tournament
The tournament will be in Minneapolis June 9-10. I expect the teams up there to share the responsibility. I would recommend they appoint people to contact Dan Fisher and Drew Roggenburk and ask them about how this can be done. Drew can tell you the funds the MCLC supplies, the rest must be raised by the local teams hosting the tournament. Discuss this with Drew.
MCLC Tournament Team eligibility and qualifications
There will be the standard 8 teams making the playoffs (4 top seeds from each of the two divisions). We plan to add up to 12 teams, meaning that 4 teams will be selected "at large" by the MCLC Executive Committee. These teams will be selected from the full members first, and then from affiliate teams.The Executive Committee will meet on a conference call in March and determine the metrics by which to do this.We expect that strength of schedule, results among the affiliate teams playing each other, and willingness to travel to Minneapolis will be among the criteria.
This is the status of each team: (full members are in bold print, affiliate members are in non-bold print)
Eastern Division:
Cleveland
Columbus
Cincinnati
Mt. Adams
Motor City
Great Lakes
Canton
Lansing
Pittsburgh
Toledo
Western Division:
Chicago
Windy City
Lincoln Park
North Side
Minnesota Lakers
Minneapolis

2007-Jan-05: No Indoor Lacrosse Next Thursday--RV Show
Guys, there will be no indoor lacrosse next Thursday (2/8) at Wall-to-Wall in Mason due to the RV show they are having there, but we will resume Thurs., 2/15 and I think the last session is a week after that 2/22. Turnout has been perfect--just enough to make two teams and a modest bench (come on out if you haven't yet). Thanks to the many Dayton Flyers Lacrosse who came down to join us last week--keep on comin!
2007-Jan-05: Mt. Adams Indoor Practice Starts This Thurs Night
As usual it is @ 10:00 PM at Wall-to-Wall in Mason (directions at our site Links). This is the time to get yourself and your stick back in shape.
This is not just for Mt. Adams players!. So if you are a local college player or a just a player then come on out and play . . . we join up with the other cinci club and the competition level ranges from D1 all the way down to some HS experience. We'll teach you if you can be taught.

2006-Nov-02 No Game This Weekend and Winter Lax in Cincinnati
Guys,
No game this weekend. Just couldn't quite agree on the logistics. That's probably it for the fall, but we've already been contacted to start setting up games for the spring, so we should have plenty of playing opportunities for the spring.
Indoor lacrosse is ready to start though. First sessions are this week.
BOX LACROSSE- Celtic Lacrosse has a Friday afternoon box league at Soccer City in Colerain. The biggest downside is time- probably tough for most on this list to be free at that time. 1/2 price for Mt. Adams players & Goalies free! Info @ Celtic Lacrosse
FIELD LACROSSE- Wall2Wall is starting up tomorrow night (Thursday). Info is below. Starts at 10pm. Ends theoretically around 11:30 or, more accurately, whenever the midfielders give out. The cost will be $10/ player or you can get a discount usually if you pay in advance for all the sessions. Talk to Jon Simon jsimon_43ding@dongyahoo.com for more details (but remove the 'ding' and the 'dong' part from his email address.
Finally, if anyone could/would help me put together a team get-together or two for this off-season, please let me know.
Thanks!

2006-Jul-10: Anderson HS Seeking Lax Head Coach (possibly paid)
Sean and Tom,
We haven't met but I have assisted Carroll Roberts for the past two years as coach of the boys lacrosse program at Anderson high school. Carroll will be volunteering with the Blue Jay program which is the middle school feeder program for many of the area high schools. Myself, well I have made it know that I am interested in volunteering my services to the girls program at Anderson. I have not had acknowledgment at this time but if it happens the boys program will be in need of talented coaches to continue the Anderson programs winning traditions. To my knowledge no one at Anderson has begun to seek coaches so if you know of anyone in the area that would be open to volunteering ( at least at this time) their time to the Anderson program please have them contact me by phone, my cell is 513-608-7964
Thank you for your consideration

Gentlemen,
Here is a word doc for the Tourney Party - nothing free, but they do have good drink specials and it's one of the best bars and areas to be in. The bar is holding an area for us. They serve food there as well, so people can eat appetizers or dinner there.
This is a great bar and place to be - I highly recommend it. There is a link in the word doc with directions from all over.
Thanks,
Dan

2006-May-25: MCLC Playoff Schedule Set
Gentlemen,
Here is the tentative bracket for the tourney. The idea is this - for all the lower brackets (at the end of the day) to finish on Sat and not have to play early Sunday morning. Historically, many of the teams playing for the lower places (ie - 5-6 or 7-8 place) that have to play early on Sun have no-shows and it screws the team that got up early and showed up - they then try to get a half hearted game with whomever will play them. It can be a long day with 3 games, but many tourneys are like this. If both teams agree, you can cut the quarters down to 15 minute running instead of the standard 20 minute running.
Because there are 10 teams, there will be an INTRA-division "play in" between the 4th and 5th seed to get into the 4th seed for the 8 team bracket. The two losers of the 4th seed "play in" will play eachother for a second game and each of them will then play Mt Adams later that day for their third game.
The 3-4 place and championship games will be on Sunday.
Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

2006-May-19: Kings MS Lacrosse Needs a Coach, Paid Position!
Club Lax Players,
Kings Middle School is looking for a caoch or 2 or 3 for next year forward. There is a great crop of 7th graders coming back for their 8th grade year next season, and the sport has gotten big in the school. The coach does get paid. The team plays on a new field turf stadium. The school and the parent committee are great to work with.
We have had a middle school program for 3 years now. Last year we won the Div IV State Championship. This year we have a .500 record in town and have bumped up to Div III.
If anyone is interested in getting involved (even if it is part time), please call me at 513-317-4704 or e-mail sauervilleno@spamycinci.rr.com
If someone was thinking about coaching, this is a great opportunity. My 3 years have been a great time.
Thanks,

2006-May-18: Cincinnati Hotels Hosting MCLC Tourney Teams
All,
Here is a prelimary info sheet for hotels (see below). I don't have any special offers from the hotels, but if you call and coordinate for you teams, you should be able to work something out. I created links for hotels near the fields(North East of the City) and closer to the nightlife (closer to downtown) - we all know people choose different options depending on what their age and intentions.
I'm firming up the tourney party option(s) so I will get that info as soon as it's available.
So everyone knows, the fields are natural grass (stuff we played on as kids), but it's a park with irrigation, etc. so it's in nice condition.
Looking forward to seeing you all here.Please let me know if you have any questions.
Dan Fisher
Cincinnati LC
P.S.In consideration of teams traveling, I will try to accommodate the furthest teams when doing brackets.
Bill - I'm not sure if this making it to all the team contacts - can you confirm?
| MCLC Tourney Fields, Hotels and Recreation |
| Here is a link to the fields: Francis RecreAcres There are plenty of hotels near the fields, but the social scene tends to be more suburnanite (lame). The areas to go out in are the bar hot spots. Mt Lookout - crews just out of college where patrons drink like they are but have jobs now. Mt Adams - good age range and good bars. Hyde Park - This is right next to Mt. Lookout. Good age range and great restaurants. Not as many bars as Mt Adams or Lookout. These tend to be people who've graduated from Mt. Lookout. You'll find lots of divorces in 'Tellers' if that is your thing. Main Street downtown - cheesy and a bit shady - wouldn't recommend drifting off for a late night walk. Here are hotels near the better night life. More expensive and less of them, but closer to night life. |

had 36,067 participants compete in over 35 different events. This year
we have added new events pushing that number over 40, and most
importantly the addition of Lacrosse.
2006 Show-Me STATE GAMES will be held primarily on July 21-23, July
28-30, and August 4-6.
The Lacrosse Tournament will be held on the Final weekend and take
place
August 5-6, 2006 at the Hinkson Fields on the campus of the University

any out of state teams to consider participating that weekend if they
are available.

Guys/Rosie:
See message to me below: Info regarding St Ursula Girls team - they have to find coaches now - need help in bad way. ++++++++++++++
Dan,
Yesterday, I was contacted by Mike Sipes, athletic director for St. Ursula Academy. In the past few months, they have lost their entire coaching staff due to job relocation/job promotion/job conflict, and are now desperate for coaches (obviously if they are contacting me). I told Mike I could get the word out to the Cincinnati lacrosse world to see if there is anyone who may be interested. Since they are desperate, they are looking for any level of participation. All coaching positions must be hired and they are paying!!
Please pass this along to any lax men/women you know and ask people tocontact Mike directly if they are interested. msipes@saintursula.org St. Ursula Girls Lacrosse/Athletics Site.

2005-Oct-06: LaxFest Cancelled, Mt. Adams to Practice This Sunday
Dan Fisher from Cincinnati Mens wrote me today that LaxFest was cancelled for this year because he couldn't get anyone to help him coordinate the fields. That is a shame because LaxFest has been a pretty good time in the past. Next year we will have to team up with Cinci to coordinate it. They may have better players than us (today), but I think it is fair to say we beat them on organization and team spirit.
PLEASE DO NOT CONFUSE LAXFEST AND L'VILLE they are different tournaments. L'ville (Derby City Tourney) is stil on for next weekend (Oct 15-16).
Here is the current plan for practice on Sunday (Oct. 8).
From Murph: This looks like the plan, we will know shortly
My proposal- Practice Sunday at 5:30pm. This gives us up to 2 hours of
daylight (I'm sure we won't go that long) followed by
dinner/pre-game/watching the Bengals game at Buffalo Wild Wings or
Colerain Brewing Company(name?) on Colerain or Fricker's on Hamilton.
Dude, as entertainment chair, please make the call on the venue, then
let's put out the Bat-signal.

Gregg,
We had our first practice Tuesday and have another scheduled this Tuesday. We had 11 guys show up , but another 10-14 have expressed a desire to play. I think it would be great to play Mt. Adams. I mentioned to Jay that I had met you and that it would be great to schedule a game. Either he or I will be getting back with Mike.
Thanks for the note. By the way , the former Wings attackman playing for Columbus is Jeff Harris.

2005-July-31: Murph Helps Ireland Win Celtic Cup
Rams,
Thanks to Tom for his recent update email. In my absence since the
meeting, I've been in Ireland & Wales helping win the inaugural Celtic
Cup Lacrosse Tournament (Ireland, Scotland, & Wales).
Historical note: The last time a lacrosse team in/from Ireland won a
game in the British Isles was in 1932, against... Cornell. Thanks
again, Tom. :-)
Below is a summary of the tourney, copied from an email sent by my dad.
Look forward to seeing you all when I get back!
It was A great day for the Irish as Ireland defeats Scotland 6 to 5 in
a real nail biter to win the Celtic Cup. It was a tough game and the Irish
had to over come 2 injuries and some rather questionable officiating to
win the Celtic Cup in Cardiff, Wales. There were 7 changes of position
in the last 2 minutes 1) on an Irish stick check and 2) a second on a
delay of game after an Irish time out but, the defensive held up. I
think Ireland needs to get an official Internationally certified. The
lads and the coaches were ecstatic. Irish coach Richey Moran who has
won 3 division one NCAA titles at Cornel and a World Cup coaching the
US team said that this was one of the toughest victories he could
remember. He said "if you only score 12 goals in two games and you walk
away with 2 victories you must be playing some good defense".
In other games held yesterday and today Scotland defeated Wales 17 to 4
to take second place and Ireland's developmental team lost to the Wales
development squad 8 to 4.
The Celtic Cup is not one of the most important lacrosse events in the
world but, this victory was very important for the Ireland Lacrosse
Federation in giving them some significant leverage in their on going
negations with the official sports governing body in Ireland.

2005-July-18: Chairmens Meeting Minutes
The Mt. Adams Lax Club chairmen met for the first time in five years! A clear indication that the club is starting to get more organized! The meeting included the chairs of:
Attendance: Tom McDonald
Recruiting: Sean Murphy
Finance: Kevin Laska
Scheduling & Refs: Ellerbrock
Missing, but not forgotten chairmen were.
Entertainment: Dude and Andy Hayes
Attendance: Gregg Eifert
Many items were discussed and resolved, but the most important was the election of our new President! But first, our current President, Bill Mathis, was voted President Emeritus for Life. The team hadn't had a election in five years and since Bill has moved into semi-retirement Chairman McDonald nominated Sean Murphy for the spot and he was unanimously voted our new President. Congratulation El Guapo Muph!
The other items covered at the meeting were:
--Team Clubhouse & Charity
--Team Uniforms & Promotions
--Team Insurance & Finances
--Team Practices & Scheduling & Fall L'Ville Tourney (Oct. 15 & 16)
TEAM CLUBHOUSE & CHARITY
In order to encourage team get togethers the chairmen resolved to find a team clubhouse! Many ideas were discussed including getting sponsored by the Cincinnati Men's Club, but the most promising option was suggested by Murph regarding a clubhouse near Colerain that he might be able to get for the team. The clubhouse is being sought by another Irish club that Murph is familiar with and he thinks we may be able to share the clubhouse in return for our team members helping with upkeep. The building has a bar and a large party room and would be close to our new turf field in Colerain. Murph said he would follow-up.
Relatedly, the chairmen decided that we need a new chair to take care of community outreach issues, like taking care of municipal properties that we use for clubhouses, as well as charities that our players could help. Gregg Eifert was nominated and elected (in absentia) for the new chair. Congrats to Gregg (assuming he wants it)!
UNIFORMS & PROMOTIONS
Chairmen Dude has completed the uniform deal with our new sponsor Budweiser. The new uniforms are will be screened with our logo shortly. The chairmen felt this will be a great recruiting tool in that we can give uniforms to our players and not have to take them back after every game.
The Chairmen felt a Mt. Adams bumper stickers would be another good recruiting item. Entertainment co-Chairman Andy Hayes was appointed to design the bumper sticker (in absentia).
FINANCE
Finance Chairman Laska reported that the team is in good financial shape. He is looking into setting the team up with insurance through US Lacrosse. Additionally, he is setting up a Paypal account to so our members can more easily pay their dues.
SCHEDULING, PRACTICES & L'VILLE TOURNEY
Scheduling Chairman Ellerbrock got us into the Fall L'Ville Tourney (Oct. 15 & 16)
The two day tourney will have 2 divisions of 4 teams, each team will play the other teams in their division and the best 2 win/loss teams from each division make playoffs on Sunday.
Teams:
Louisville
Cincinnati
Nashville
Memphis
St. Louis
North Side - Chicago
Windy City - Chicago
Mt. Adams - Cincinnati
Chairman Ellerbrock also plans to set up our first official team practice in about five years. He plans to leave a few weekends open before our season commences next season so that we can practice as a team.
Mike was also going to talk to Chairman Dude to see if we could set up an old-timers game/practice/awards party in mid-September before the L'ville Tourney. The party afterward would be at our new post-game party sponsor (I've forgotten the name of the bar, but the Dude set this sponsorship for us. Thanks again Dude, you're on a roll!).
That's all for now, and if you can help out please let one of the Chairmen know!
