CHECK-IN: 

I will be located at the north intersection of fields 3 & 2. Please check-in with me before heading to the fields. If you have not yet paid, you will need to bring a check and/or pay via Venmo on-site.

COACHES, TEAMS, EVALS: 

Players will not be assigned a team or coach until after the first week of practices in which evaluations occur. We attempt to create parity among our teams and divide up as evenly as possibly by skillset.

UNIFORMS & EQUIPMENT:

Uniforms will not arrive until a few days prior to the first games on 9/11. However, all players must have (and use) all equipment starting from day one - don't forget your mouthguards!

WATER BOTTLES:

Boys may want to consider finding a water bottle with a long straw that they can utilize while still wearing their helmets. Taking helmets off and on can take up valuable practice time, especially for the younger guys.

1) UNIFORMS: Uniform orders are bulk shipped and will be delivered directly to your mailing address a few days before the first games on 9/11. Please don't panic if you haven't received your uniform - they're coming! 

2) DICK'S APPRECIATION DAY: Our Dick's Appreciation Day(s) are Aug. 20th-23rd at the Chesterfield Town Center location. A coupon will be sent along later this week. CYL staff will be on-site at Dick's on Sunday, Aug. 22nd from 10-4p.

3) PRACTICE: The first week of practice is 8/23. Please see the website for specific details and times. Please be sure to check-in with me at the registration table upon arrival at your first practice. If you have not yet paid the registration fee, please be prepared to do so at that time. We accept check and Venmo.

4) EVALUATIONS: Evaluations will happen during the first week of practice, the week of 8/23, and teams will be assigned after that week. Teams are divided up by skill level in order to create as much parity as possible among our teams.

5) GAMES: The first games are on Saturday, 9/11.

6) COACHES: We are still looking for coaches in all divisions. If you are interested, please sign up at cylax.org. We reimburse the cost of your US Lacrosse membership and your child's following season is also comped.

7) EQUIPMENT

Girls: Stick, goggles, mouthguard, gloves (optional), cleats (optional)

Boys: Stick, helmet, chest/shoulder pads (NOCSAE certified required in Jan. 2022), elbow pads, gloves, mouthguard, protective cup, cleats (optional)
