Oakland Lacrosse: Oakland Lacrosse Club is inviting everyone to join us for our 2023 Spring season. Participation is completely free and all gear is provided. If transportation is an issue OLC can help establish carpools and if we get enough Westlake sign ups we will have a bus come to pick up all lacrosse players and bring them to practice!

Where: Practices at Laney College & home games at Oakland Tech.
Who: ALL middle school grades, genders and skill levels are welcome and encouraged to sign up!
Information sessions will be held at the end of January, but if you have any questions now, please contact Coach Hayden. (Hayden@oaklandlacrosse.org OR 213-507-4715). All that is needed to sign up are these two digital forms.
Drop-Off and Pick-Up: Warrior Eagle Families, please do your best to keep everyone safe during drop-off and pick-up before and after school. We ask that you follow the rules of the road by not double parking on Harrison Street as well as not crossing the double line to make a U-turn. Families are welcome to come into the Westlake parking lot during these times to drop off or pick up your scholar. We also ask that you not turn into the driveway at the traffic light but enter the parking lot at the 27th Street entrance. Your support with this request is greatly appreciated.
