Oro Valley Boys HS Players jump into some nationally competitive events

4 of our elite boys HS players made a commitment to some of the events going on this summer.  6 games in 2 days is alot of lacrosse to be played in Baltimore, but these boys rocked the event.

Amazon made it easy to automatically donate to OVLC

using your mobile device app!

It's been an extra step before to donate to OVLC every time you purchase something through Amazon.  Mobile device purchases were originally not available to donate either (and I do the most of the purchasing through the app).

Good news - Amazon made it easy to automatically donate part of your purchase back to your favorite club.

See the information below from Amazon on how to do it....took me 3 minutes, help us out

Oro Valley Lacrosse Club

"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
2. We will keep the camps focused on small-group skill development (per the CDC document)
3. We will spread-out small groups – with designated (coned-off) areas for each group
4. If the number of camp registrants warrants, stagger start times to minimize potential for groups to congregate
5. Have a pre-camp training session with coaches
6. Have hand sanitizer available for players and coaches
7. Require all water bottles to be participant provided (no shared water bottles or similar items)
8. Operate without shared equipment (we do provide lacrosse sticks to kids who do not have them but can disinfect them after each session)
