WDPCC UPDATES

The WDPCC has been fast at work, making every effort to emerge as a powerful force on the lacrosse landscape to better serve you! Allow us to offer some highlights:


Join the WDPCC At Large Team!
The WDPCC recently partnered with Tribal West Lacrosse in Utah to offer At Large Players a chance to play in the Lake Tahoe Lacrosse Tournament! If interested in future opportunities, join the At Large Player Database. Although our primary function is to support clubs, we also recognize the need to support post collegiate players not associated with a club yet. As a result, we hope to further develop our at-large player database. We hope to use this database as a resource for current clubs to locate new players. Moreover, we hope to offer these players opportunities to play at tournaments as a "one time" team.
