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.
