Honor The Game Pins

We have made another order of Honor the Game pins for the upcoming season. You will need to have one representative pick these up at the January meeting. PLEASE make sure these are given to your coaches before games begin. In addition, check your inventory!! Ball bags, bins of equipment, etc… If you have any existing from the previous season, they are the same each year and we don’t want them wasted.

For more information on Honor the Game, read up here: Washington State Girls Lacrosse | Honor The Game
