Mav Family,
Just an update that the player pack for our boys is going to be submitted on the 15th and to make sure it is received, please be registered and the first payment made by then. The board has decided to keep registration for the spring season open until Feb. 1st with try outs tentatively scheduled for February 16th and 17th at 4pm at Gordon Harris Park. Please be aware that our try outs are to solely determine which team, Varsity or JV, is made and that no one gets cut from the program. Please make sure that all required docs are uploaded to https://mavslax.zenpig.net before try outs.
With Covid-19 restrictions still in effect, the board has been brainstorming a way to still hold a parent meeting with reduced capacity and think we will be able to pull it off in a hybrid fashion. The details are still being worked out, but we do plan on holding a meeting on Wednesday, January 27th utilizing classrooms at Victory Middle School. We will be separating parents by the grade level of their player and are still determining if we will do it all at the same time within different classrooms, with a board member assigned to each group, or do back-to-back meetings throughout the evening. Please keep that evening open and we will convey more info as we finalize.
We would like to thank all the players who are participating in indoor practices. The coaches are more than pleased with the turnout and recognize that such a willingness to put that effort in early typically translates to a successful season. Everything still looks to be a go and there is an IHSLL meeting upcoming on the 20th where we should have a good idea of our schedule afterwards.
As a reminder, Lax ID is still taking orders for the Warrior Burn helmets described at http://www.mvhslacrosse.com/#541936 until Jan. 15th. One other change that is taking part in lacrosse is the NOCSAE ND200 standard being set for chest protectors. https://www.uslacrosse.org/safety/equipment/chest-protector-faq has a great breakdown of those requirements which for this season is mandatory for goalies. All goalies please make sure your chest protectors meet this requirement for refs will be checking and if not equipped with gear that meets this requirement, you will be unable to play. All other field players will be required to have chest protectors that meet this requirement for the 2022 season, so please keep this in mind if purchasing any new gear.
Thank you,
MVHS Lacrosse
