Play winter lacrosse with a LA team!
   This website is a 100% volunteer effort

The website was developed after the 2007 spring season and  went live in March, 2008 in an attempt to provide a focal point for the growing needs of the IHSLA. The original concept design and direction were provided by Drew Stevenson, head coach of the St. Ignatius lacrosse team.

Our Volunteers

Jamie Considine is the original website author and is the current website administrator and software developer. He writes website code, coordinates hosting, responds to inquiries and manages the backoffice database. Jamie is Vice President of Operations for Switchcraft, a Chicago-based electronics manufacturer. He has a son and daughter who play lacrosse at St. Ignatius.

Linda Bertelson updates the scheduling information and serves as the principal focalpoint for gameday activities. She also synchronizes the IHSLA games with the Assign-By-Web referee scheduling. Her responsibilities continue to increase exponentially as the sport of lacrosse grows in Illinois. Her efforts earned her "Woman of the Year" honors from the IHSLA coaches in 2008. Linda is an employee of Lacrosse America.

Features

Many of the features incorporated in this website are improvements suggested by the community of coaches, parents and volunteers from the IHSLA member schools. We value the feedback and are interested in continuing to improve this website to meet the needs of the IHSLA family.

Below are the changes made to the site and a running log of requests that are under construction. Please do not hesitate to make feature requests or ask us questions about the status of some of the pending changes. Contact Us
