| 2010 SCHEDULE: The 2010 combined varsity and JV schedule is up. It includes game times, unlike the LaxPower schedule. Some JV games may be added later when/if they are scheduled. |
Practice for 2010 season begins on Feb. 15
Coach Estacio has some info for players before practice begins |
Posted Feb. 5, 2010, 9 a.m.
With the beginning of practice a little over a week away, Coach Estacio has a few reminders for players.
1. Get your physicals and residence forms in? You can't participate without them!
2. The conditioning test is next Saturday, Feb. 13. More details on that this weekend.
3. The first day of practice is Monday, Feb. 15, not Feb. 16 as previously announced. Players should be sure to have the following things on that day:
• helmet (take off ALL Riverside stickers....stripes, awards, R...EVERYTHING. Those have to be earned.). The only thing you should have on your helmet is your last name written on a piece of masking tape.
• all pads (shoulder, arm, gloves, mouthpiece).
• shoes for the field AND the parking lot/gym.
• appropriate clothing for the weather (shorts, sweats, etc).
4. This year, practice will start at a different time: 3:30! For the first week of tryouts, this will apply to all players. The following week, once varsity and JV have been separated, JV will start practice at 3, and varsity will start at 3:30. Players are urged to attend study hall or lift weights between the end of school and the beginning of practice. They should make sure to be on the field and dressed when practice starts. If not, it means you are late and will incur severe consequences.
E-mail Coach Estacio (link at bottom of this page) if you have any questions.

Coach gives 2010 info at kickoff dinner
Schedule for players, Mulch Madness details given at get-together |
Posted Jan. 25, 2010, 1 p.m.
Coach Glenn Estacio discusses the 2010 season at the annual kickoff dinner at Gray Stone Baptist Church on Jan. 19 |
There was a great turnout for the kickoff dinner on Tuesday, Jan. 19. Here is a synopsis of the topics discussed after the feast:
1. The coaching staff was introduced: Coach Glenn Estacio will be taking over the defensive responsibilities this season. RHS alum Evan Leekley returns for his second coaching stint with the team and will direct the offense. Coach Mark Abbott will once again lead the JV team. Coach Estascio said there may be one more addition to the staff later.
2. Coach Estacio went over some of the areas where he and the other coaches will need help. Here is a list of areas where fans and parents can volunteer their time:
• filming home and away games (either from field level...for the end-of-year highlight reel, or from the press box...for team scouting, teaching, and recruiting)
• younger siblings to serve as ballboys during games
• statisticians for home and away games (should contact Sally Austin)
• supplying oranges for JV and varsity home and away games (see link to orange sign-up sheet at top of this page)
• working in the concession stand for JV and Varsity home games (see link to concession sign-up sheet at top of this page)
3. Estacio reminded everyone that all prospective players MUST fill out a residency form and have an up-to-date physical to be eligible. Also, students have to have passed at least 3 classes in the fall semester. (See links to these forms at the top of this page.)
4.Coach Estacio also went over the schedule for players:
• conditioning test is Saturday, Feb. 13th
• first day of practice is Tuesday, Feb. 16
• complete schedule is now on rhslacrosse.com (see link at top of page and on the forum page)
• Spring Break is in Wilmington. The team will leave on Thursday, April 8 in the morning and return Saturday, April 10, in the afternoon/evening. Varsity players are required to go...JV players are welcome.
5. The rhslacosse.com Webmaster is asking for volunteers to help take stats for the games he can't make it to, and to take game photos when possible. Stat continuity is important. For cumulative stats to mean anything, all games must be included. In the next few days the Webmaster will post some details on what is needed.
6. Mr. Ratcliffe spoke about the game program for the year. If you have an idea of someone who may want to advertise in the program, let me or Mr. Ratcliffe know.
7. Mr. Bortner and Mr. Tedder spoke about the Mulch Madness fundraiser. This is Riverside Lacrosse's primary fundraiser, and is the way the team pays for equipment and trips:
• players received packets with info/sales slips for the mulch. If you did not receive a packet, contact Coach Estacio ASAP to get one
• selling can continue until March 1 (that's the cutoff date for the incentive contest). Players are encouraged to get out and sell while the weather is warm and people are thinking about their yards
• March 20 is the delivery day. All players will be at the school that Saturday from 8-3 delivering 4,000-5,000 bags of mulch. Parent volunteers are needed to help with breakfast and lunch and to help drive the delivery vehicles (especially if they have a truck/trailer).
