Contact Days Extended into Summer

The Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation has extended coaches’ contact days over the summer to 30 ending July 31, 2020.

Beginning as soon as state and local authorities allow and individual programs deem it prudent, high school coaches may have up to 30 contact days through July 31, 2020.  This can include seniors who were scheduled to have graduated in June 2020.

The health and safety of players, coaches, and officials are and should be the top priority of the WLF and all member programs.  Assuming it is safe to do so, summer play of high school WLF member teams, while not directly sanctioned by the WLF for the purpose of team records, championships, etc is supported and encouraged.

 

WLF high school season update

The Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation has issued an update and additional guidance to the Wisconsin lacrosse community particularly in relation to the postponed high school season.

The WLF continues to closely monitor our ever-changing environment. Following state and local guidance, the WLF is extending the postponement of all organized activities until at least April 24, 2020.  We are considering all options for both youth and high school.

Specifically, for high school, discussions continue around canceling the high school season outright, a shorted but viable season and extending the season.  Any decisions around resuming organized lacrosse activities will be informed by our governing authorities and COVID 19 protocol guidance. 

Until then, we hope all our players, coaches, officials and parents are safe & healthy.      

WLF Postpones the Lacrosse Season

The Wisconsin Lacrosse Federation is greatly concerned about the health and safety of the lacrosse players, coaches and officials in Wisconsin as we all work through the challenges of the COVID-19 situation.  The WLF Board is monitoring the situation closely and is taking our lead from our leagues, schools, and clubs as well as our government officials.

Lacrosse in our state has always been based on safety, fair play and honoring our game.  Continuing that goal, the WLF Board of Directors has issued the following statement:

“In line with the Governor Evers’ executive order to close the schools, beginning Tuesday, March 17th, 2020, all practices, scrimmages, games and coaches’ contacts are postponed until at least April 6, 2020.   All high school lacrosse clubs, whether associated with a school, multiple schools or independent must stop all in-person activities.   Additionally, coaches and club organizers should not encourage independent gatherings  (captain’s practices).  Failure to adhere to the above will result in disqualification from postseason play. 

It is our hope we can continue our season when schools re-open, but we also recognize this is a fluid situation and circumstances may change. “  

The Creator’s Game has been in Wisconsin for hundreds of years and once we get past this it’ll be here for hundreds more.

Lax on.
