JV

Conditioning

If you haven't yet, it's time to get in gear! From the day tryouts start to our first scrimmage, we have less than 2 weeks. We need to be in shape BEFORE tryouts begin. Many of the girls have been taking advantage of our great resource in Chez, our strength and conditioning coach and we'd like to see even more girls start to get going. As always, it is non-mandatory, but the girls need to be working out somewhere and Chez does a great job of focusing on sport specific exercises.

• Every Monday and Thursday from 3:15-4:30 (meet on the indoor track)

Playing Opportunities

• University of Michigan Skills Clinic (Sunday, February 5)
• Grand Valley Winter Wonder 5 v 5 Tournament (Sunday, February 26)
• Oakland 5 v 5 Tournament at Pontiac Silverdome (Sunday, March 11)

Contact Coach Katie for details.

In an email to staff, players and parents, dated January 2, 2012, varsity head coach Katie Gutteridge wrote the following:

We went through an interview process to help find a new JV coach that would be a great fit in our program, and I'm excited to announce that Tim Bausack has been officially hired by Jason Reck (athletic director) as the new girls lacrosse JV coach. Tim comes on to the Hartland team after coaching the club Varsity program at Carmen Ainsworth for several years and serving as the coach for the Flint Tropics, an area summer/fall travel team. Tim is US Lacrosse Level 1 certified and has a true passion for the game, coaching, and to keep learning more about the sport. Many of the girls had the opportunity to meet Tim over the summer as he helped to coach one of the tournaments that I was unable to be at. I am confident that Tim will be a great fit for the girls and the program and look forward to working with him.

Welcome to our family, Coach Bausack!

Coach Gutteridge also had this to say about former JV coach, Aaron Skomial:

I can't say thank you enough for all the time and energy Aaron has put into the program over the years and continues to put in now. He was an integral piece in building the program to where it is now, developed great relationships with the girls and families, and we're so lucky to have him use his time and expertise to continue helping girls develop in the off season.

You're awesome "Coach" Sko! Enjoy retirement!

On Thursday night Hartland took advantage of an inexperienced Canton team for the second time this season — this time outscoring them 15-1. It was a fitting home victory on Senior Night where seniors Kelsey LaValley and Erin Harris were recognized with their parents before the game.

With Hartland leading 11-1 at the half, Coach Katie switched goalies — allowing senior goalie Kelsey LaValley to play a little field lacrosse and opening the door for Rachel Sharpe to see some time in the net. Rachel stopped all shots on goal!
