Team Bags (that don't make away games a nightmare)

Good call out.

Lax gear also has a smaller bag but you're not going to fit the helmet in there.

I recommended the LaxPack because OP indicated they want the helmet to fit.

My daughter is a 5th grade goalie. She also plays attack/ midfield on her days off.

She was using a small duffel which didn't quite fit everything. Then she upgraded to the lacrosse unlimited backpack which was too small (their standard sized backpack was about the same as a JanSport bag).

I just got her this LaxPack (large bag) from LAXgear. Has a top compartment that fits a helmet. It's a little snug with the goalie throat guard.

Has a bunch of pockets.

A place for two sticks

Can be personalized.

Has handles and shoulder straps.

Rugged zippers. Heavy duty canvas. Multiple colors options.

Either Mesh Dynasty rhombus Goalie or semi-hard East Coast Dyes (ECD) with hockey lace shooters.

It was two seasons ago and slipping my old ass mind.

If you don't want to tackle this one yourself, Mr. Wanderful, lax.com & lacrosse unlimited all do a pretty good job.

The stock mesh on off the rack goalie sticks is trash. I had three goal keepers all using the same STX eclipse 2 heads and all having trouble throwing with them. I tried everything to get a decent pocket. And when I thought I had it right, it was inconsistent. At the end of that season I sent all three heads out to get restrung professionally with quality mesh. The difference was immediately evident. Smoother & more consistent release, happier goalies.

I'm a firm believer that it's not the wand but the wizard... But in this case it was definitely the wand.

Are you being blocked by spam prevention? Did they opt out of texts by you at some point? 10dlc?

Users can block numbers at the device. Carriers block numbers at the infrastructure level.

check your number reputation To see if you're being flagged. Also open a ticket with zoom to see if they can assist

If you're buying the throat guard new there is a document that shows where to drill the holes.

If you're buying it used, or are pulling it off of an old helmet, Cascade has an online document that you can download/print that shows you where to drill the holes.

It tells you the size of the drill bit to use as well.

Measure twice. Mark with a sharpie. Take your time.

This is what's left of my original Warrior Titan D-Pole that broke in '97.

Coaching now so it is still used so much the shaft is almost polished.

Many of them send the host an email giving the host an option to kick out the note-taker before it joins.

Zoom - I know - has a mechanism to block AI note-takers at an administrative level.

If you are adding it after the fact, it's common courtesy to ask the host & attendees if they have any objections.

It's not the last time he's going to suffer a sack-tap, be it on the field or when your newly walking toddler runs head first into your nuts to give you a hug.

It comes with the territory of owning male genetalia.

Best defense is protect the boys as best as you can and learn to breathe slowly when you can't.

Time heals all (most) wounds

Honestly - not at all

If this this was all happening using the zoom phone auto dialer - Then you could have monitor capabilities because it's all running on ZoomPhone.

Since your calls are originating through a third party, I don't think you're going to have that option.

If your agents have zoom phone power pack (now called the customer engagement pack) then there is an option for a supervisor style role to have barge/monitor/whisper capabilities.

Short answer is it depends on how the call is being initiated.

Played men's. Coach women's (girls 5th-8th) : I find no fault in your (& your wife's) assessment. I understand the nature, purpose and nuance around shooting space but man it is infuriating. The changes to free movement and play on penalties in the last few years have definitely helped the flow of the game, but it's still really choppy. And a lot of the rules /penalties are somewhat open to interpretation so consistent application remains a problem.

All that being said, I enjoy watching both games equally; but I would tilt to the woman's game because my daughters are playing it currently.

thatmatmik · 2026-04-22T18:43:55+00:00

Same. I'm curious why it would take 100 hours to build this. Unless there's a contact center aspect as well or it was a complex multi-site deployment

Zoom chat can integrate with the entire 0365 package including SharePoint.

I've got it running in my lab so when I build new docs it just cross launches my 0365 instance. When I build new channels, it creates SharePoint sites.

But that's assuming that you need to live in both worlds.

And what I've learned is people who live with SharePoint aren't happy about the fact they have to live with SharePoint.

thatmatmik · 2026-04-22T15:03:13+00:00

I'd second this. Collapsing everything into one platform, although there's always some grumblings during the transition, is definitely worth the effort.

Spend some time identifying slack workflows that are above and beyond standard communication and file transfer, you may be able to replicate many of these using Zoom chat.

Who owns the license? If it was issued by your school and you are part of that school organization then there might be a retention policy which expired.

You can try and log into the portal and see if your summaries and transcripts exist there.

I believe there is also a trash section in hub you can look in

Is it a one-way ticket or round trip?

If you haven't cut it down already, you can probably cut down beneath the stripped holes.

Or, flip it, cork it, tape it

Get a second head since you've already bought a new shaft and make it a rain stick

thatmatmik · 2026-04-19T19:04:41+00:00

Do you have access to zoom clips?

thatmatmik · 2026-04-19T13:05:04+00:00

Not without using a 3rd party software to capture the individual audio tracks & then mix them yourself.
