The 2012 season begins with our BHS Boys’ Lacrosse registration meeting on Tuesday, January 24th at 7 - 8:30 p.m. in the BHS cafeteria. Parents are required to turn-in all required lacrosse registration forms and fees in order have your son’s registration considered complete. Those unable to submit all required registration documents and fees by Registration Night will be assessed a $50 late fee. Please print your information clearly as the number one problem with communication is the “unreadable” email address. Email communications will go out to all parents, and the boys, provided we have an email address for both. Additionally, the club’s legal counsel stresses the importance of printing legibly on all forms and waivers. Additionally, “unreadable” e-mail addresses will keep you from receiving important club-wide e-mail communications. BHS LAX Registration Meeting –Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 (7 to 8:30 p.m.) -- Cafeteria Agenda The December 24th registration meeting is mandatory, since it enables the club to collect fees and required paperwork in order to properly kick-off the new season.
