Spring 2010 Registration Instructions
I. SPRING 2010 CHANGES AND REMINDERS
1. US Lacrosse Membership
The player must establish or renew their membership directly with US Lacrosse. The registration system automatically opens the US Lacrosse web site to verify the player's membership The membership must be active through 06/30/2010 in order to proceed with registration. ALC is not responsible for the membership fee as of this season. Membership in US Lacrosse is a requirement because ALC insurance is through the organization.
2. All players register in their Birth Year Division
All players need to register for their birth year division. Players must try out for and play for teams based upon their birth year. This is a change from the 2009 season and applies to the girls and the boys. Players will only be allowed to “play up” if ALC determines that it is necessary to move players to fill out rosters so that we can maximize participation at each age group. Register the player in their birth year division even if the player wants to play up one division. There is a question on the form that allows the player to select a desired division.
