Welcome to the Winter 2006 - Off Season - Edition!
After much adieu, some technical difficulties and a winter that lingered
longer than it should have, we bring to you the winter edition of our
newsletter.
This newsletter, now quarterly, is full of information and resources that will strengthen your pursuits as a team and individually, and further connect our community!
We profile some of our most established clubs, highlight emerging clubs, feature international lacrosse news, coaches on the move, WDPCC developments and more.
Please spread the word and encourage players, coaches, and anyone interested in women's post collegiate play to sign up to receive our newsletter. To submit something for publication, please contact our editor, Dana Czapnik at danaczapnik@yahoo.com.

WDPCC IN 2006!
2005 was a powerful year for the WDPCC. We launched our newsletter, players at large initiative, hosted our very first summit, continued to develop our website, increased exposure in USL Magazine and Convention, and more. We hope to build on our success, making 2006 bigger and better. |

We are making our website even better in 2006! We plan to launch team and tournament profiles - a brief snapshot of each team and tournament with pics!. We need your help - please respond to our questionnaire, keep our online information accurate and notify us of any information we might be missing. Contact our website committee with any of the above: Melissa Montefusco , Jessica Bates , and Courtney O'Sullivan.

making this possible. So come the end of May compete in the National
Tournament - the oldest and most historic women's tournament! For details

Newsletter Updates - Quarterly / Seek Co-Editor
We are now a quarterly newsletter with four editions a year - Winter (Off-Season), Spring (Pre-Season), Summer (In-Season), and Fall (Winding Down). Dana Czapnik, our editor, is holding down the fort. Our former co-editor, Judy Fong is now in Med School in Grenada (congrats Judes)! So we need someone to give Dana a hand. If being a co-editor is too much responsibility, then consider submitting a piece or even just ideas to Dana. We are always looking for a good story!
