Yesterday I received an email from a gentleman in Dubuque, IA. Alan Temperly recently moved to Dubuque from Waterford, MI. There he was the president of the Waterford Youth Lacrosse Association.
Now he is looking to start a youth association in Dubuque by next spring. If you or anyone you know lives in the Dubuque area and is interested in lacrosse, please contact Alan directly. His contact information will also be posted on the CILA website once I get the opportunity to do so.
It is great to see that opportunities like this are increasing around the state.
Individuals from Albia, Knoxville, Pella, the Cedar Rapids area, and the Waterloo area have been in touch with me. There is also a high school team in Council Bluffs. If you live in any of these areas and want to get involved, please contact me and I will forward their information. I am in the process of getting permission to add their email addresses to the CILA website. If you live in another area of the state and are interested in getting something going, please contact me and I will help you out.
Welcome to the blog dedicated to lacrosse and its growth in the Des Moines metro area and throughout the state of Iowa. Other topics related to sports in Iowa will appear from time to time.

Attention Adult Players
As you may be aware, there is a competitive summer travel league in our regions - the Great Plains Lacrosse League. While I continually hope to field a team in this league, as of decision time this year we did not have enough guys. The Demons will once again pass on playing in the GPLL.
However, those looking to play do have some options. I would like to suggest joining the Salt Creek Tiger Beetles out of Lincoln, NE. Check out the message from Greg McManus:
I'm starting to put a spreadsheet together of those who want to play for the Beetles this summer. The cost looks like it'll be $90 per person. Yes, this is more expensive than last season. But, we pay for our home field space and we're trying to buy balls and pinnies for new players. If we can get 20 people to commit to playing this summer, then I can look at the dues coming down. Right now, I have it figured at 15 people on the team.
Anyway, if you're playing, please let me know. I don't need your money yet, but I do need people to commit to playing.

Also, some of you (I won't name any names here....) borrowed equipment from me last summer. This equipment does not belong to the men's club but to the Lincoln high school team. Please contact me so we can make amends ASAP.
Both the league website and the Tiger Beetles' website have eligibility information posted. Basically you need to be out of high school this summer to play. If you are interested in joining the Tiger Beetles, please contact Greg.
Hopefully we will be in a better position next year. To make it happen, we will need the core group of players to make some sort of commitment by January. Because of things I am anticipating in the next year, I do foresee myself being able to play...
