| Weather and PE Credit |
| Unfortunately, we have had A LOT of weather related cancellations this year. As a result we are going to need to be very focused on getting enough practice and game hours for Westlake High School PE credit.
Please make sure you are coming to each scheduled practice and game so you can get the proper credit. |
| Sponsorships |
| We need family and business sponsorships. Our club receives no Eanes ISD funding and we rely 100% on monies raised to run the organization.
If you have any questions or want to sponsor Westlake Womens Lacrosse, please contact email us. |
