Equipment Turn-in and Uniform/Spirit Wear Pick-up, Monday, 20 Apr

Equipment Turn-in and Uniform/Equipment Handout will be Monday, 20 March.  We will do a drive through at the Public Safety Building Parking Lot starting at 5 PM.  The Public Safety Building Parking Lot is right by the Styx Lacrosse Fields. 

I want everyone to stay in their car, form a line, and we will do the equipment/uniform exchange through your car window.

To keep the line manageable, here is the order I want the teams to show up:

8U Boys: 5 PM

10U Boys/Girls: 5:30 PM

12U Boys/Girls: 6 PM

14U Boys/Girls: 6:30 PM

You can come and turn-in your gear anytime from 5-7 PM, but please try to make your team time slot if you can.

As a reminder, I want everyone to turn in any Styx equipment, even if you are planning on playing this summer.  I need to account for all the equipment.

Coronavirus Update

The Spring Lacrosse season is officially cancelled.  I have several things I need to pass to everyone to close out the spring season.

Refunds: Everyone will get a full refund from Park and Rec for spring season fees.  I have already let Park and Rec know the season is cancelled and you do not need to do anything else.  Expect a check in the mail over the next week or so.  Refunds do not include US Lacrosse membership fees or uniform costs.

Uniforms and Spirit Wear: If you ordered and paid for uniforms and spirit wear I have them.  I am working on a plan to get uniforms and spirit wear out to everyone.  I will try to work in in conjunction with equipment turn in.

Equipment Turn-in: Right now I am working on a “Drive Through” to turn in equipment and hand out uniforms/spirit wear.  I am looking at Saturday late morning.  More info to follow.

I want everyone to turn in all of the equipment even if you are planning on playing this summer.

Speaking of Summer, yes, we are going to have summer lacrosse!  I would like to start practice after Memorial Day and league play should start with Boys on Tuesday, 16 June and Girls on Thursday, 18 June.  I will get out all the specifics later this week.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Take care and stay healthy!  We are all in this together!
