| Morgantown - Sept. 4, 2007 - At the organizational
meeting of the WVSLA in September, the team representatives
present decided to pursue the formation of a WV Chapter of US
Lacrosse. The paperwork needed was presented and discussed. I was
noted that the application to form a chapter was due by November.
Being unlikely that everything could be completed by then, the
representatives decided that every effort would be made to complete
the process by the following year's deadline. Jeannie Dreisbach, University High's Head Girls Lacrosse Coach, volunteered to be the head of the steering committee.. Anyone who wishes to help her with the process may contact her at Cell: 304-288-6001 or jdreisba@access.k12.wv.us |

The initial requirements to become a chapter are: (Actions done are in red)
1. Applicant must first meet with the existing chapter (if
applicable) and present a list of needs for lacrosse in their area. If the
existing chapter and new steering committee come to an agreement, both
programmatically and geographically then the new steering committee can proceed
to pursue provisional chapter status.
There is no
West Virginia Chapter, only chapters that ring the state that may cover portions
of the state.
2. A formal letter of request for the new chapter must be sent
to national.
3. Another letter describing the needs, as described to the existing chapter must be sent to national.

codes (if applicable)
