Final Notice: 2011 Summer Lacrosse League

Even though registration was technically closed on Friday, we still have a couple of slots open in the 2011 Summer Lacrosse League (high school & adult).  The reversible order has already been sent to ensure that they arrive on time, so the league will be capped as a necessity.  Rosters will be complied this weekend, so registration will be cut off some time on Friday.  I know that some teams want to get together and practice before the league starts and they cannot do so until the rosters are set.

About the 2011 Summer Lacrosse League

We will not have sponsors this year.  Instead, teams will have names and specific color schemes to eliminate "guest players" and other shenanigans.  Players will be assigned to teams in an effort of creating some balance (though the 2010 champions Lightning Wear/Gargoyles will largely carry over from last year).

We will have a new format this year - adopted from last summer's second half - which should reduce absence issues.  The 2011 SLL will feature a modified field consisting of 1 goalie, 2 defenders, 3 midfielders, and 2 attackmen.  This means that teams will be offside with less than three men in the defensive half or less than two in the offensive half.  Teams may run up to three long poles on the field at any time.

Rosters will max at 14 players to allow everybody plenty of playing time.  We plan to have four teams in the league, with all four teams playing each week.  Teams not playing will be responsible for refereeing games opposite their own.  Referees will be assigned beforehand and coordinated through team captains.

This year's league will begin On Wednesday, June 8 and run through August 10.  The exact number of games will be determined once we know the exact number of teams.

Registration is available below.  There is a $35 fee to cover cost of the pinnies, balls, etc.
