Schedules
Final Games are here!
Thursday May 20 2010
The final games of the 2010 Wolfpack lacrosse season are upon us. Both the 5/6 and the 7/8 teams travel to the “plateau” for games with Eastside Catholic this Saturday, May 22, 2010.
The 5/6 contest starts at 9am. Players should be at the field by 8am. It’s about a 40 minute drive from downtown Seattle for your reference, you can do the math...
The 7/8 game follows, scheduled start is at 11am. Players are requested to be game ready for warm ups by 10am...
This Sunday, May 23rd, The Central Seattle Lacrosse Club hosts its post season gala at Genesee Field, 2:30-5pm. The exact location is the large field across Genesee Street from the main parking lot. The Club will be supplying grills, dogs, etc. Families are asked to provide their own drinks, and to bring something to share. Karen Bryan is coordinating, so if you have any questions, please contact her. You are also asked to bring something to sit on, either chairs or blankets, and to wish for nice weather...
Summer Camp Info and this Weekend's Games
Wednesday May 12 2010
Hello Wolfpack Nation!
As we near the end of the 2010 season, we have been getting some inquiries into what kind of programs are available for Summer Lax for those who want to keep their skills sharp, or just enjoy the game so much that they cannot get enough field time.
The most comprehensive list of Summertime lacrosse can be found on the WALAX website. Scroll down about halfway and look for the “Summer Programs” on the right hand side.
We cannot recommend one program over the other. They are all quality programs, although some are decidedly more of a “pay-to-play” nature...
This weekend’s games for Saturday, May 15th:
The 5/6 team faces off against North Seattle Red 5/6 in a 10:30 start at Cleveland HS.
The 7/8 team follows with a 12:15 start against North Seattle Red 7/8 also at Cleveland HS.
Players are “invited” to be at the the field 1hr before their start time.
Please note that these will be the final Home games for the 2010 season. Next week’s games will be a back-to-back away series at Eastside Catholic on the plateau.
Be advised that the 3/4 Wolfpack season has concluded with last week’s play...
In two weeks, on the Sunday after our last game of the season (May 23rd), we will be hosting an end-of-season all team party. It has proved impossible to secure either Cleveland or Georgetown Field for the event, so we are planning to meet instead on the field across the street from Genessee Playfield. We will send out more specifics as time goes on.
We are planning to bring a couple of grills, a few goals, hot dogs, buns, etc, and would like others to fill out the feast with your own contributions.
And finally, from our friends up North, who find themselves in the NLL Final game at Comcast Arena in Everett, Wa...

This weekend's Games
Thursday May 06 2010
This weekend’s games are on Saturday May 8th, 2010.
Our 3/4 program comes to a conclusion for this season with a 10:30 am start with the North Seattle 3/4 at our home field, Cleveland HS. Please be at the field 45 minutes prior to the game for stretching and warm ups. This is the season’s final game for these guys, so please come on out and cheer them on!
The 5/6 Wolfpack will travel to the far reaches of Silverdale, WA to face Kitsap 5/6 in a ridiculously early 9am start. There are several alternate routes you can take...the ferry from downtown, the ferry from West Seattle, or you can drive around the South end of the Sound. You can get the Washington State Ferry Schedules here.
Each route has its advantages and its drawbacks, so we’ll let you decide what is best for your situation. No matter which way you choose, it’ll be an early start. Coach Quincy Milton has asked to have players at Ridgetop Junior High School Field no later than 8:15 am, 45 minutes before faceoff. I’m sure our guys will have to run around a bit to shake off the cobwebs and wakeup. I’m just glad that I’m not playing...
This game is followed by the 11am contest between the 7/8 Wolfpack and their Kitsap 7/8 opponents, also at Ridgetop Junior High.
I just want to apologize for the late notice regarding the relocation of yesterday’s practice. This is the last time we’ll have to do that. There are no more practice sessions for the 3/4 team this season, and only 4 more for the older guys, all of which will be at Georgetown Playfield from 5-7pm. Mondays and Wednesdays.
Good luck to everyone in this week’s contests. Please be careful and drive safely if you’re on the road...
Practice Location Change
Wednesday May 05 2010
Today,
Wednesday 5/5/2010 the location for Wolfpack Practice
has been once again changed to Cleveland HS instead of the
normal location, Georgetown playfield. This is due
to the fact that Seattle Parks and Recreation
doubled booked our practice times and Seattle
Prep’s JV games.
This is the last time this will happen, as the HS lax season is drawing to a close. Sorry for the late notice...

Upcoming Weekend's Games...
Friday April 30 2010
The games for Saturday, May 1st are as follows:
The 5/6 Wolfpack will take on the 5/6 Steillacoom squad in a 10:30am match at Cleveland HS. Coach wants his players at the field by 9:30 for stretching and warmups.
The 7/8 ‘Pack will meet their Steillacoom counterparts for a 12:15 start, also at Cleveland. Please be at the field 1 hr prior to gametime.
In their penultimate game, our 3/4 youngsters travel to Queen Anne Bowl to take on Queen Anne 3/4 for a 1pm start. Please be at the field 45 minutes prior to game start. For those of you who have not played at Queen Anne Bowl, parking around game times can be a real challenge. They have lots of players and a 1pm start is pretty much at the peak of their day.
I just want to give a shout out to Peter Vogt and Bryan Schulz for having their 7/8 guys come on out to Garfield HS’s Men’s Lacrosse game this past Wednesday. The Bulldogs find themselves in...well, a dogfight for post season play. In this game, they beat division leader Roosevelt to reinforce their playoff chances.
It meant a lot to the Garfield players, and their coaches to have such a great turnout for what was an important game. Coach Kelly sends his warmest regards your way, guys...
The Central Seattle Lacrosse Club needs volunteers from all teams to help organize the End of the Season Party. Current plans are to have a potluck/barbecue at Cleveland Field on Sunday, May 23rd. We’ll supply ‘dogs or burgers and buns, and we ask families to supply the sides, drinks and desserts. As plans are solidified we’ll let you all know of any cost (should be minimal) for the event. We’ll have a couple of goals set up and players can show off their skills...maybe we’ll even have a pickup game or two. If you can help, perhaps by organizing your teams participation, please drop us a line and let us know...
Wednesday Practice Location Update
Tuesday April 27 2010
This Wednesday’s (4/28) practice has been changed to Cleveland HS. There is a conflict between Seattle Prep’s JV game and our previously reserved practice times at Georgetown.
We have checked with Parks and Recreation and Cleveland is indeed available. Time remains unchanged, still 5-7pm.
Thanks....
Games for Saturday 4/24
Friday April 23 2010
This is for games scheduled for Saturday, 4/24.
The day’s action commences with a 10:30 am start for our 5/6 team as they take on Gig Harbor’s HarborFire 5/6 at Cleveland HS Field. Coach Milton would like his players on the field an hour before game time.
This game is followed immediately by the 7/8 ‘Pack’s contest with HarborFire 7/8 which is scheduled to get underway at 12:15 pm. Please have players ready to go by 11:15 am.
The 3/4 guys will be working double duty as they start the first half of a double bill at 3 pm with a faceoff with southend visitor, Puyallup Black. This match will be followed by a 5pm match with HarborFire 3/4. Both of these games will be at Bothell High School.
I don’t know how the 3/4 guys keep getting these double headers, but we wish them, and their parents, our best. At least their season will be over in two weeks. The older guys will play for another month...
Looks like a 50-50 chance of rain on Saturday, so be sure to dress warmly and keep the rain gear handy.
See ya.
This weekend's games...
Friday April 16 2010
We have finally hit the Trifecta...all three Wolfpack teams playing in the same place (Cleveland HS)! I know this has been rare this season, so let’s enjoy it!
The day starts off with the 3/4 Wolfpack vs their counterparts from Queen Anne. Gametime is 9:30am, please be there 45 minutes prior to the faceoff.
The 5/6 will also play Queen Anne at 10:30am. Coach Quincy would like his players to report to the field no later than 1hr prior to the start.
The day’s action is rounded out with the 7/8 team trying to extend their undefeated season when they too take on Queen Anne. Players need to be ready to go 1 hr prior.
This is an excellent opportunity for the younger guys to hang around and watch the older guys do their thing. As each level progresses upward, the play become faster, and the skills more developed. The younger guys could really benefit from watching.
Week 5 Game Schedules
Friday April 02 2010
Week 5’s games to be played Saturday, 4/3/2010 are as follows:
The 5/6 Wolfpack will face off against Kitsap 5/6 in a home contest at Cleveland HS starting at 10:30 am. Coach Milton would like players to be at the field by 9:30 for warm ups and stretches. Be advised that the weather may not be anything like it’s been for the past couple of weeks. Dress in layers and provide some post game warmth.
The 7/8 squad will travel to Lakeside Middle School for an 11am contest with Lakeside 7/8. Please be at the field ready to go at 10 am. It will most likely be a wet one, so dress accordingly...
The 3/4 squad is idle this week...
The Spring Break season is upon us. Since Central Seattle draws from many different schools with an array of vacation schedules, this is a challenging time for coaches to field an effective team. Please be sure and contact your coach directly, not us, with any vacation plans that may affect your son’s attendance. With enough advance warning and a cooperative opponent, games can often be rescheduled. It’d be a real shame to show up to play without enough guys to field a team, and be forced to forfeit.
We will keep you apprised to the best of our ability of any changes to the schedules. The Sportability schedules are considered the final authority, however. (These are the ones you get when you click on the links to the right)
From all of us here at Wolfpack Central, we wish you a great Spring break, and if you have travel plans, have a safe trip. Play some wall ball, and stay in shape!
Week 4 Games
Thursday March 25 2010
The upcoming games for this Saturday 3/27, are as follows:
The 7/8 Wolfpack starts off the days’ games with a 9am game against North Seattle Blue. Location is the new turf fields at Lower Woodland Park. This will be an early start, so no sleepovers. Please be at the field, ready to go by...gulp...8am!
Our 5/6 squad looks to rebound this week with their 11am match with Magnolia White, also at Lower Woodland Park. Please be ready to start warmups by 10am.
The 3/4 guys once again take their show on the road with another doubleheader to be held at Game Farm Park in Auburn. The 1st contest gets underway at 1pm vs Lake Tapps Red. This game is followed immediately by a 2pm contest with Lake Tapps White. This day looks to be the toughest on their schedule, with back to back games against two tough opponents. Please be sure to have plenty of water and perhaps a light snack for between game consumption. Warm ups begin 45 minutes before game time, please be there by 10:15 am. This field is in Auburn, and if memory serves, it’s about 40-45 minutes away. Please plan accordingly...
Wednesday practice location changes
Tuesday March 23 2010
This Wednesday’s (3/24) Wolfpack practice will be held at Cleveland High School (our home field). This will also be true for the following dates:
April 21st, April
28th and May 5th.
This is due to a conflict with Seattle Prep’s JV
games, where Parks and Recreation gave preference to
their games over our practices.
All of our team practices on these dates will be
shifted to Cleveland.
These changes are also reflected on the
Calendar.
Week 3 Games, Times and Locations
Thursday March 18 2010
It looks like we will have another stellar weather window for Week 3’s games this Saturday, 3/20. We have been very lucky this year...so far!
The 5/6 Wolfpack (1-1-0) will look to continue their winning ways with a 10:30 am contest at our home field Cleveland with the 5/6 team from Lake Forest Park-Shoreline. Coach Milton would like all his players to be at the field, ready to start warmups by 9:30 am, please.
Following at 12:15 pm, also at Cleveland, our older 7/8 Wolfpack (2-0-0) team will try and extend their two game winning streak in a game with the 7/8 Lake Forest Park-Shoreline squad. These guys have been pretty good competitors over the years, and should provide a very entertaining contest.
Rounding out the day’s action, the 3/4 guys will travel to North City Elementary to face the 3/4 Lake Forest Park-Shoreline in away game action. Game time is 12:30 pm. Once again, please be at the field early enough to get geared up and warmed up, at least 45 minutes prior.
We have also just received the following notification, and League Coordinator Ryan Kelly has asked me to post this:

Week 2 Game Info
Friday March 12 2010
Greetings Wolfpack!
Week 2’s games are coming up in short order, so it’s time for the update.
The 5/6 and the 7/8 squads will meet their respective representatives of the Highline Lacrosse Club in back-to-back contests at Manhattan School Park. The 5/6 contest gets under way at 12pm. The 7/8 game, originally scheduled for 10am, has been moved to 2pm.
Our 3/4 team will play two games at our home field at Cleveland High School on Saturday. The first one gets under way at 9:30am against University Place. An 11:30am contest against Lake Tapps Red will follow immediately. Please be sure your player has a snack or something to get an energy boost between games and be sure to bring plenty of water.
It may vary from coach to coach, but players are expected to be at the field, geared-up and ready to go one hour before game time. This affords teams the time to get warmed up and stretched out properly (important for cool weather play) and allows coaches to get in some last minute instructions.
Please check with your individual coach regarding any scheduling issues. It’s also advisable to let your coach know ahead of time if your player will not be participating. This helps them set their lines and set some strategy for the day’s contests. Visit your teams “Team Cowboy” website for more info.
Good luck to all Wolfpack teams this weekend. We look forward to seeing you out there!
Weekend Games for 3/6/2K10
Thursday March 04 2010
Greetings, Wolfpack
Nation!
This Saturday, March 6th sees all three Wolfpack Teams in action. The 5/6 squad starts the day off with a 10:30 am contest against the 5/6 Bainbridge Blue team at Cleveland High School.Players are requested to be suited up and ready for warm ups 45 minutes before the game.
The 7/8 Wolfpack will meet their 7/8 Bainbridge Blue counterparts at 12:15pm, also at Cleveland. The Bainbridge teams are LAX powerhouses, with at least two, and sometimes three full squads at all age levels. They will surely be a test for the Wolfpack teams. Please be at the field 45 minutes before the game for warm ups.
The final game of the day will feature the 3/4 squad in an away game against the 3/4 Magnolia Black. This is a club that had its start about the same time that we started, so they are a great competitor, especially so last year when they fielded a team made up of both Magnolia and Queen Anne kids. Their game will get underway at 3pm at Whitman MS field up there in Ballard, you betcha... Please arrive 30 minutes prior to game time...
The weather looks promising, but LAX, being an all weather event, will go on rain,snow, or shine. Players and parents should be sure to dress for the elements.
Good luck to all this weekend.
