WLF 2021 Spring Schedule Update
The Boys’ and Girls’ High School Lacrosse season will begin March 8th, 2021 or week 36 of the WIAA calendar as normal. Tournament play and the State Invitational and Championships will conclude on June 12th, 2021. After much discussion amongst the board, athletic directors, coaches, and the official’s contingency, the board concluded that leaving the season as normally scheduled is in the best interest of both the Girls’ and Boys’ High School programs.
Under consideration were:
- Health and Safety to our student-athletes under current and potential COVID protocol
- Impact on both girls’ and boys’ lacrosse programs
- Facility and resources of a delayed and condensed season
- Official and Umpire coverage of a delayed and condensed season
- Crossover athletes between sports
With those being the foundational considerations, delaying the season provided no significant benefit at this time. If warranted, the board may revisit this decision as we know we are still in a very fluid situation regarding the health and safety of our student-athletes. Until then, plan accordingly and play ball.
Thank you,
WLF Board of Directors
Erin M. Ennis
President
