I would like to thank all the parents, community, coaches and the LASE Board for making the 2014 season a success. I am excited to announce that the 2015 coaching staff will be taking additional training courses to help provide a fun and safe environment for the children of our program. Through USA football, each coaching staff will be trained on topics that cover proper equipment fitting, concussion recognition and awareness, heat and hydration as well as proper tackling techniques and fundamentals. These additional steps are indicative of our coaching staff's commitment to our program and ensuring they are staying up to date on the safest way to provide a great experience for the young athletes in our program. The success of the LASE organization is directly attributed to the dedication, professionalism, and pride displayed by our volunteer coaches, volunteer parents, the children, and the individuals on the Executive Board of Directors.
