Hi Gang.

Just a quick update on the 2010 registration process. The Rams will be have available shortly, an Online (with a secure credit- card option payment system) registration system. As you have already noticed our brand new webpage is up and running. Our merchant creditcard application has been submitted and the Rams are just waiting (and waiting and waiting) for the application to be processed. I will be sending out an email to all 2009 players once our account has been setup and our 2010 registration system is ready to go. 

For those brand new players/parents that may be interested in joining our club for the upcoming 2010 season, the Rams will be holding three information/registration nights on Feb 15th, Feb 22, and March 1st. from 7-9 pm Servus Place 400 Campbell Rd. These information sessions are to be held in conjunction with our Winterskills camp. We will have plenty of Rams volunteers available to answer any questions and concerns you may have. Please keep checking our webpage for updates or look for our ads in the St. Albert Gazette and Saint City News.

"But my child wants to try it first to see if he/she will like it"....... No problem as the Rams will be holding three  "Come Try it/Bring a Friend nights" in early March. We'll be running a session for birth years 2002-2006, one for 1998-2001 and one strictly for girls. Dates for these Come Try it nights will be posted shortly.

If you have any questions regarding Registration for 2010 please feel free to contact me at

registrar@ramslacrosse.ca

Cheers

St. Albert Rams Registrar

P.S. Ill be in  Hawaii   Ottawa from Feb 3rd-8th with my daughters for a tournament so please be patient as I may not respond immediately to emails.

First off we wish to apologize to those trying to call the phone numbers listed on the winter skills registration page. These phone numbers no longer are valid and should not have been posted. Please contact Kris Partington at playerdevelopment@ramslacrosse.ca with any questions regarding this camp. 

*Due to great response, the Winter Skills Camp is now full*

The St. Albert Rams Executive are furiously preparing for the upcoming 2010 season. New goalie equipment, jerseys, and shorts; a new website and online registration system are just a few of the projects that your executive are dealing with prior to the season startup.

Edmonton Rush-GELC Club Registration Day - The Greater Edmonton Lacrosse Council (GELC) and the Edmonton Rush are holding their fourth annual multi-club Registration Day on January 30th, from 11 am to 3 pm at Rexall Place. Anyone registering on January 30th will:

• Be entered into a draw for a FREE registration
• Get a FREE ticket to see the Rush play Calgary that evening
• Meet the Crush Dance team
• Get to watch the fourth annual Edmonton Rush-GELC Pee Wee Tournament

The Rams will be moving to an online player registration system with a secure credit card payment option available in 2010. (For those who have children playing hockey it will be the same process that SAMHA uses.) It is our hope to have this registration system up and running the beginning of February. An email will be sent to all 2009 players and posted on our brand new web site when Registration is officially open.

The club, over the last couple years has spent considerable monies, especially on new goalie equipment and jerseys. This year will be no exception as the club will be purchasing brand new goalie equipment and home jerseys for our peewees and novices. Having said all that, the club has been running a deficit for the past few years and the executive has voted on a $20.00 fee increase across all divisions for the upcoming 2010 season. I have contacted other area clubs as to their costs, and the Rams appear to be on par with our fellow associations within the GELC.

If anyone has any questions (especially those whose children have never played before) please feel free to contact me at registrar@ramslacrosse.ca.

Sincerely,

Brian Cormier
Rams Registrar

A family discount of $20 is available for every additional family member registering for lacrosse.

Each family is required to sign up for a volunteer position this season. Sign up sheets will be available at registration OR online for volunteer positions including: 50/50 at Rush games, evaluations, Fort Road Bingos, Baggataway tournament and GELC casino events. A $150 volunteer fee credit card commitment will be required when registering online. Failure to fulfill your volunteer commitment will result in your credit card being billed for the $150 volunteer fee. People who prefer to pay the volunteer fee instead of volunteering will be given that option on the online registration form. If you prefer to give a post dated cheque that will be held by the club until your volunteer commitment has been completed then please contact the volunteer coordinator to make arrangements. If you believe you have a volunteer credit on your account, please contact the volunteer coordinator BEFORE you register. Tracey Austin at volunteers@ramslacrosse.ca
