MENS LACROSSE
Dear Men’s Lacrosse Club Family and Friends,
As the Vanderbilt Men’s Lacrosse Club prepares for the 2009-20010 season, we are pleased to find ourselves in
a unique position. We possess a level of talent and coaching that has been unparalleled since the club’s
instatement in the South Eastern Lacrosse Conference (SELC) six years ago. Tyler Hirsch, in his 2nd season at
Vandy has volunteered to steer the team in the proper direction, and we are excited to have his expertise. This
upcoming season should be the most promising ever. With the level of talent we possess, a tough schedule
including opponents from Indiana University, Virginia Tech, Clemson University, and Tennessee, and we have a
legitimate chance of clenching the conference title game.
However, it is an unfortunate reality of club lacrosse that our abilities and success are still limited by funding. In
order to replace to stay SELC Compliant we constantly need to order uniforms and Equipment for the game field.
We must also pay league dues of $8,570 to participate in the SELC. This year’s schedule is also particularly
travel intensive, with road trips to Alabama, Clemson, Knoxville, and Ole Miss. Vanderbilt provides all club teams
with a moderate annual allocation ($2500); however generous this typically does not even completely cover our
league dues, let alone our travel and equipment costs, which must be paid for out-of-pocket by individual players.
We have several fundraisers planned including a t-shirt sale and a player camp for local middle and high school
players, but even with these fundraisers, our season will require significantly expensive dues from each player.
We need your assistance to successfully orchestrate a complete season. If your son enjoys playing lacrosse, it
would be greatly appreciated if you could donate however much you feel adequate. No sum is too little (nor to
great…) and anything helps lower the dues of every other player. If you do not wish to contribute, but know of
someone who does please pass this letter on. We have set up two ways to contribute: by giving online or by
personal check and the information pertaining to both can be found on the following page.
We are all excited about the upcoming season. With your help, it will be a memorable one for all of us. I thank you
for your time. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any member of the team or email me directly
