Hi ALC Families,
We are very excited for the upcoming Spring lacrosse season. Please see below for some important season information. We ask that you review each of the following items.
Registration
If you have not done so already, please register your son by navigating to the "Register Online" link in the menu on the left-hand side of our website (http://abingtonlacrosseclub.com). Late fees will apply for registrations received on or after Feb. 8th for 3rd-8th grades.
Evaluations for 3rd-8th Grades (No Evals for K-2nd Grade)
Evaluations will be held at Bryn Athyn College (3002 Cairnwood Dr, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009) on Sun. Feb. 13th and Sun. Feb. 27th at the following times:
7th-8th Grade (A Division): 12:00pm-1:30pm
5th-6th Grade (B Division): 1:30pm-3:00pm
3rd-4th Grade (C Division): 3:00pm-4:00pm
Please arrive 20 minutes before your timeslot to register and to have your son(s) dressed and ready to begin at the start of their timeslot. The purpose of the evaluations are to place your son(s) on the appropriate team based on their skill level. Our plan is to place every player on a team assuming that we have enough coaches.
New Equipment Requirement
This year, the league is requiring that all players be equipped with the following equipment (in addition to a helmet, gloves, arm pads, and lacrosse stick):
-
The new ND200 NOCSSAE shoulder pads, which are designed specifically to prevent commotio cordis. Therefore, even if you have the older shoulder pads, you must purchase the new shoulder pads to play this year.
-
An athletic cup
-
Mouth Guard
These items are a league requirement, so unfortunately ALC does not have the ability to waive this requirement.
Volunteers Needed
It's our goal to ensure that your sons' have a great experience with ALC. In order to do that, we could use some assistance.
- Coaches: We are in need of head and assistant coaches for the B and C levels in order to give an opportunity for everyone to play, and especially for the B2/B3 and C2 teams. Please email me if you would be willing to help coach one of these teams. If you do not have lacrosse experience, we will assist with drills and look to provide a high school or college player to assist. Registration fees will be waived for parents who volunteer to coach.
- Team Parents: We would like to assign a parent to each team to assist with communications. Please email me if you are interested in being a team parent.
Uniforms and Team Store
Every player must visit the team store and select a uniform size. Uniforms are included with the registration fee. You may also purchase customized ALC gear for an additional fee. Please visit the "2022 Online Store" link in the menu on the left-hand side of our website.
Best,
Craig Brown
