GET FIRED UP GATORS!!!

All interested students...

1- Fill out the BLAX GATORS SIGNUP Google Form:

2- GET A PHYSICAL. Get a sports physical packet from the front office and get a physical from your doctor or any urgent care.

3- Go to: https://www.dragonflymax.com/

and complete your Dragonfly account.

4- Academic eligibility: You need a C average across all classes. You also can not fail any classes to be eligible to play for MGMS. Keep your grades up! This is the most important thing! Always remember that you are a STUDENT-athlete.

5- Get started today! Find time to stay active every day. The best thing you can do is RUN! Be safe when and where you run, and ask a trusted adult about how to find time for this. I will send you an invite to our BLAX Google Classroom and you can see drills that you can start if you already have equipment.

Mark your calendars! We will have two lacrosse workouts on Friday, February 27th and Friday, March 6th. You will only need to bring cleats for the workouts. If you have a lacrosse stick, you can bring that too but it is not required.

Try-outs will be on Wednesday, March 11th. Only students who have completed the above steps will be eligible to attend these afterschool events. Have your ride ready to pick you up at 5:30pm.

Gator Team Rules

Everyone respects everyone
Give 100% effort every day
Have a positive attitude
Keep grades up and stay out of trouble

Everyone respects everyone
1. Players, coaches, referees, parents/guardians, and teachers all respect each other.
2. Respect each other’s time by being punctual. Be where you are supposed to be!

Give 100% effort every day
1. Your team depends on you, so do your part on the field and in the classroom!
2. You will only improve if you give your 100%, and anything less will be a waste of everyone’s time.

Have a positive attitude
1. Team-first mentality! Stay positive towards your teammates.
2. Never quit! Stay positive with your physical abilities and do not get discouraged.

Keep Grades up and stay out of trouble
1. You are a STUDENT athlete. Always remember that you are a STUDENT first and an athlete second.
2. Review our student contract to see the consequences of ISS and OSS.

A note from the coach:

Through my experiences as a coach, player, and sergeant, I’ve come to understand the secret to a winning formula – and it’s not really a secret. Many great athletes realize that teamwork is the foundation of victory and soldiers understand that it means survival!

We have a team-first mentality. We practice self-discipline and understand that we can’t always do whatever we want. Our focus is on doing what’s best for the team!

Some of you will quit, but what I say to that is this... NEVER EVER QUIT! You will have never ending challenges in your life, and under my guidance, you will develop the lion mentality and heart of a champion! Those who allow me to steer them back on the right path will know what it means to be a team player, a great athlete, and a fearless leader!

I want to know the answer to two questions:

Why are you here to play lacrosse?

What are you hoping to get out of this season?

This will be a lot of hard work, so get ready and get fired up because it is time for some lacrosse! - Coach Giddo
