Washington Lax Officials Train at the GELL MashUp

The Washington Lacrosse Officials Association (WALOA) held a first of it's kind Spring tune-up training for Youth referees this Saturday at the GELL MashUp held at the Kirkland Lacrosse Center in Big Finn Hill Park.

A number of Skyline High School players and alumni were present for the training either starting their first season as referees or helping as mentors.

What? Really??

OK, call me a tad old-fashioned. 

Caught this weekend at a pre-season CWU-SU matchup in Seattle:  the ref is using an iPhone coin toss app to start the game... i know it's preseason and all....

Spartan Alum Jeremy Veilleux & CWU Wildcats in town

This weekend saw Skyline Spartan Lax alum Jeremy Veilleux (#8) and his CWU Wildcats take on Seattle University in pre-season action.  There was some great play on both sides and Jeremy laid on one of the best wrap checks i have seen in a long time; think the clearing midfielders stick came down somewhere in Lake WA.

It's always great to see our alums in action on local turf!
