Sauganash Lacrosse Club

As I'm sure many of you have heard, there will only be one centralized IGLA Chicago location moving forward. Since this effectively means the end of the Sauganash Lacrosse Club, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved in it over the past several years - coaches, parents, officials and especially the players! It has been so great working with all of you to build our location from only 6 team members in our first season, to nearly 50 last year! Thank you to everyone for your efforts, and for the many great memories! I feel that together we built something special. I know that I will see many of you for years to come as our daughters move up the ranks in different programs, but I just wanted to send one last message as the Director of the Sauganash Lacrosse Club to let you know that being a part of it has been one of the greatest joys of my life. All the best, Kevin

From the IGLA Office:

The Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association would like to thank our players, families, coaches, officiants, directors, affiliate clubs and all our park district partners for their patience and ongoing support in this unprecedented time. We have received many calls, emails and texts from families looking forward to our start in three weeks, most heartbreaking are the girls anxious to get back to their teammates and the sport we all love.

However, the time has come to officially cancel our IGLA Spring 2020 Pink and Purple League, and Spring 2020 Little Laxers program for the safety of our community.

We will especially miss coming together with all our teams at what would have been our 14th annual Youth Fest. The IGLA will carry on our traditions, including honoring our 9th Grade Players, our Coach of the Year and Director of the Year at the IGLA Fall Fest on October 18, 2020.

This decision to cancel also includes our IGLA Summer 2020 Purple League and IGLA Community Based Summer 2020 Camps. Lakeshore Lacrosse will offer Summer 2020 Chicago Stars Training Programs for K through rising 10th graders at a couple spacious venues with their exceptional coaches, in addition to their club teams and private training. We will send information on those options for your daughter, and the registration link is below.

All of us at the IGLA look forward to seeing each of you on the fields when we start IGLA Fall Pink League on Sunday, September 13, 2020. Little Laxers will be held in Chicago, Oak Brook and Wheaton. For our Purple Players, I am excited to announce that this Fall we are transitioning IGLA Purple into Lakeshore Lacrosse’s Fall Rec League under the guidance of their skilled Lakeshore coaches, providing opportunities to play more club and affiliate/feeder teams.

As per the Spring cancellation and refund policies of our park district partners, we are offering household credit, less a $25 processing fee ($5 for Little Laxers). If you registered and paid at the Glen Ellyn, Glenview, or Vernon Hills Park District, we have notified them of the season cancellation, please contact the park district directly for refunds and/or household credit (at the discretion of your park district). If you registered and paid directly with IGLA we have issued you the credit that you can use towards any of the following programs: the IGLA Fall 2020 Pink League, the Lakeshore Lacrosse Fall 2020 Rec League, Lakeshore Lacrosse’s Fall 2020 Little Laxers, Lakeshore Lacrosse Summer 2020 Chicago Stars Camps, or Lakeshore Lacrosse Stars Beginner and Intermediate Fall and Winter training classes. This credit lives in your League Apps account (the one used to register for the league). There is no further action required on your part. You will see your credit the next time you log in. We will get all credits into accounts by the end of the month.

You can register now for Lakeshore Lacrosse Summer programs here:

Our Fall programs, IGLA Fall Pink League, Lakeshore Lacrosse’s Fall 2020 Little Laxers, Stars Fall and Winter training and Lakeshore Lacrosse Rec League, will start registration on August 1, look for our email with registration links then.

I look forward to seeing your daughter at our IGLA Preseason Clinic on August 30, coincidentally my 11th anniversary with this great program. Until then, we wish each of you our best,

Jacqui
Director of Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association
on behalf of the IGLA Team

This weekend's "Dick's Days" sporting goods sales events and IGLA pre-season clinics have been cancelled, as well as all April IGLA practices and games. At this point, there are still plans to start the Spring season in May. I will keep you informed. Please everyone stay healthy and safe!

We are just a month away from the start of the season! Make sure to complete your registrations before the end of March to avoid the late fee. Also, I have attached a 20% off coupon for Dick's Sporting Goods that can be used for anything in the store the week of 3/21. Looking forward to another great season!

Hi everyone! It's hard to believe with the snow falling, but we are only 2 months away from the start of the Illinois Girls Lacrosse Association (IGLA) Spring 2020 season! Here is the link to register:

https://igla.leagueapps.com/clubteams/1493053-igla-spring-registration--pink--chicago-sauganash-or-surrounding-neighborhoods

The first practice will be held on Sunday, April 5th from 1 to 2:30pm at Cricket Hill (Montrose and the Lake).

All other practices will be at Peterson Park on Tuesdays @ 6pm.

Games will be on Sundays. The league is focusing on securing turf fields for game days, to avoid all of the rainouts that we have been experiencing.

The biggest change for this season is that we need to have FULL TEAMS for each level (8U, 10U, 12U, 14U). If we do not have enough players in an age group to field a full team, those players will be MOVED to Montrose for practices. For this reason, it is VERY important that we get the registrations completed EARLY and that we SPREAD THE WORD so that we have a Sauganash team at each level!

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

I will keep you informed as we get closer to the season.

See you on the fields!
