All an incoming new cub needs to know about being a Tiger.

First, congratulations on your consideration of the University of Memphis and Tiger Lacrosse. Choosing the college or university you’d like to attend is one of the most important decisions in your life. Ultimately, the school that provides the best combination of academics and student life for you, should be your final choice. As most any student or alumnus will tell you, Memphis consistently ranks among the best for a combination of academics and student life. I encourage you to involve your family and friends while making this decision, and if UM is right for you then let me be the first to say welcome! If you choose Memphis, as a product of collegiate club lacrosse, I guarantee playing lacrosse while you are here will be the most memorable experience of your college life. Being part of the team fosters lifetime memories and friendships. You will spend most of your time outside of academic commitments with your teammates in a family atmosphere. One way for you to ensure the best possible college experience is to be part of something where you have guaranteed support from your peers regardless of topic or issue.

The Univeristy of Memphis' diverse alumni body affords many opportunities for internships and post collegiate work well beyond the scope of most other schools.  Among the main purposes of pursuing your college degree is learning life lessons that cannot be taught from any book. At Memphis, our standards are high. The coaching staff will push you to be the best, setting exceptional goals and reaching them through character, leadership, and discipline, just to name a few. You have an opportunity to be part of something special, but it doesn’t come without commitment.  Players are typically devoting 10 hours a week, minimum, to lacrosse. I encourage you to join us for a defining moment, as the team strives toward national recognition in 2008 and beyond.
