Hi everyone,
Sorry about this being so late getting out but there have been a number of changes late and we had to do some scheduling changes. We are set to start April 13th!
The website is still subject to change within the next couple of days so please keep checking. The link for schedule is here:
https://mhsaalt.grayjayleagues.com/ Please let me know if someone on your coaching staff does not have access to upload rosters. I will add them ASAP.
Fees have gone up this year as the number of teams have increased and therefore, you have a guarantee of 4 games. The price is $645.00. I have included the invoices to this email.
Tournament rules:
-
All goalies MUST wear neck guards, all players MUST wear mouth guards!
-
Anyone attending the school can play, but you can only dress 18 players and 2 goalies for each game.

make sure players understand that lacrosse is a contact sport, but we will not tolerate players acting out and fighting and causing mayhem on the floor. Officials are instructed to remove any players not trying to play lacrosse and only there to fight and make a spectacle. We reserve the right to remove any player or entire team from the tournament, potentially permanently, at any time, if this is deemed to be true.
