Guys,
Last summer we met up @ the GT turf a few times and had some pick up games. We often had 30-40 guys show up. Mostly current and post-college guys from GT, UGA, KSU and GaState. Very few high schoolers show up but the ones that do can hold their own. It was always a really good time and we'd get a few hours of playing in.
We're looking at a Mid-May start date (more information will be posted later) and we'd start at around 8:00pm on Wednesday nights. We actually had a few former/current NCAA guys randomly show up last summer. It was a really good time and we wanna keep it going.
Of course, it's free.
Any questions, PM me or post em here. But I'll repost/bump this when we decide on an exact start date.

Wednesday May 16 @ 8:00pm will be our start date. It's at the GT fields. Should be a good bit of guys, NO HIGH SCHOOLERS. If you have any ?'s and wanna show up....PM me.
Directions to the GT Turf from 85/75 going south (Connector):
1) Get off on the 10th/14th street exit, go straight through first light past the Wolf Camera, make a right onto 10th (you should be facing a large parking lot, that's the BBall arena)
2) Make a left onto Northside (after Rocky Mtn Pizza)
3) The road splits, stay in far left lane.
4) There'll be parking spaces on the left, you'll see the field/sand vball courts. Park anywhere.

Just a heads up..
There's also a facebook group (for those of you with facebook) for the "event". Search "Pick-Up Lacrosse @ GT" and it'll show up. You should be able to attend w/o being invited on there. Im posting information on there for people who don't use the msg boards here.

Yeah Doublestixx is Thursday nights at Panthersville again this summer.
You not reffing it? With such a convenient location and no traffic...I can't imagine why only 7 guys show up per team halfway through the season...

Only when I play in the first 2 games of the night in the playoffs...then when it's time for my team's game...having to forfeit because we had less than 10 guys. Poooooo....poo I tell ya.
That's why I play both days.

Why are there games down there?
It would seem more of the LAX players are on the North side of town.
