Reminders from Brian

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to send you all a reminder of a few of things.

the All-American Pre Nomination forms are due by Sunday March 20th. If you have any players that you want to pre nominate please fill out the form that was passed out at the rules interpretation meeting and return it to me by email or regular mail by next Sunday the 20th. Remember you can always remove a nomination but you cannot add on after the 20th. So please get those forms in.

We also are still looking for a representative for the all american committee from Division 2 section 1 it will really help your players to have a representative on the committee from Division 2 Section 1, please let me know asap if you can help.

Also I have attached the forms for the Western PA National Tournament team. Please look those over and if you have a freshman thru junior you would like to attend the tryouts please return the form to Coach Lassen. Seniors don’t have to tryout they just need to register with US Lacrosse to play.

If you have any questions about anything covered in this email please let me know. I will be glad to help.

Thank You,

Brian Kattan

Why play at Waynesburg University

Attached you will find my letter to recruits. I am loosing six seniors, have three solid players who made a deposit and I could use three more. Unless you played lacrosse or for that matter any varsity sport in college, I can tell you first hand the demands on your time at most schools specifically division I and II, can be overwhelming! This is especially true for those girls who have poor time-management skill. It’s different at Waynesburg because our administration stresses academics over athletics. As a past high school coach and father of a former college lax-player, I am extremely understanding and excuse every girl who has a conflict or even a “bad hair day!”
 
With that having been said, I am building a low-stress but competitive NCAA Division III program, which is primarily made up with girls from Western-PA and Northern West Virginia. Bethany College is fielding a women’s team next year and if Grove City sponsors it’s club team, we will have enough schools in the PAC (Presidents Athletic conference), to have a play-off. Long story short, if you have a senior who’s a good student; passionate about lacrosse and hasn’t committed elsewhere, please forward this attachment to her.  

I appreciate your time and consideration of my request, and hope you and your team have a New Year filled with good health, great memories and much success.
 
Respectfully yours,

Waynesburg University

Good Morning,
 
As some of you know, I was offered and accepted the coaching position at Waynesburg University. It’s a fantastic place to get an education but not known for women’s lacrosse; and that’s where I need your help! I am certain many of your better athletes could go to a bigger more prestigious school, but they won’t get a better education, play lacrosse for coaches who care more about them or respect their families values!
 
I can tell you first hand that Waynesburg University is an “undiscoved treasure” and if you have a good athlete or two who want a world-class education close to home, and play lacrosse in college, please suggest they look at us. Thanks for considering my request, and if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to e-mail or call.
 
Respectfully yours,
