OVLC Girls 14U and HS rocked it in SLC as well, just a little earlier than the boys.  9 girls participated in America's Finest Rivalry with the AZ Xtreme.

The girls went 3-2 for the weekend and really showed their stuff in one of our FIRST tournaments for the girls.  Future looks bright in OVLC

Our OVLC Boys HS is back at it again....this time in Utah with our awesome Hot Sauce Lacrosse Traveling Team

These boys went to the Salt Lake City Tournament and finished with two AWESOME WINS and went 2-2

"Return to Play"

Health Guidelines

Our club is committed to provide a safe environment as we "return to play" the great sport of lacrosse.  We have been monitoring and implementing guidelines set by multiple organizations and want you to know just some of these that we have followed.

We are following three key governmental organizations guidelines:

• The state of Arizona Governors Office guidelines for youth sports return to play.  (Source: https://azgovernor.gov/sites/default/files/guidance_for_organized_youth_events.pdf)

• The Center of Disease Control (CDC) guidelines for youth sports.  (Source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/youth-sports.html)
• US Lacrosse Return to Play recommendations.  (Source: https://www.uslacrosse.org/return-to-play)

Specifically, we want to let you know what items we are doing and what we expect of players, coaches, and parents when they attend events sponsored by our club.

1. We have signed an agreement with the Town of Oro Valley that we will ensure their guidelines, which are below.  We signed to waive any and all claims against the town.
   • There is a risk of contracting COVID-19 while participating
   • We will separate participants by 6 feet to the max extent possible
   • We will not share equipment
