February 27, 2021 Dear Parents, Lacrosse season is quickly approaching. We know there is some uncertainty with what our season will look like and we want to assure you that we will be following all provincial health protocols once we start practices and games. Currently we are able to start practices in the Phase II protocol. We are waiting for our Arena to remove ice which we expect will be by mid-March. BCLA is indicating that we will be having a season of some sort. I...t may look different from previous seasons, but we will be getting our kids on the floor to play this great game of lacrosse! We know that tournaments and provincials will not be happening. The benefit to us is that our season will have flexibility for start dates and end dates. With no tournaments and provincials to fit into the schedule, we can start games later in the spring. BCLA is committed to having sanctioned practices and games and we support that fully. Registration has started here for Alberni Valley. Some of our divisions have low registration numbers. We understand that some of you may be waiting to register until you hear that games are allowed. While we understand your reasoning, that is detrimental to our planning process. As an association, we have to declare teams to the Vancouver Island Commission and if we don’t have registrations now we will not be able to declare a team. That means no teams in that division for this season and there is no way to reinstate teams, should interest suddenly be peaked later. We need registrations to show each division is viable. To that end, we are extending our Early Bird Registration to March 31/2021. We will not be requiring payment until March 31, 2021 either. We are asking and encouraging you, as parents of former players, to go to our website and register your player asap. Choose pay by cheque in order to delay payment until March 31, 2021. To recap, BCLA is operating under the assumption that games will happen, although perhaps in a delayed season. We need to have teams/coaches in place to be prepared for when that is approved. Under current PHO Phase II/ViaSport restrictions, we will offer practices starting mid-March, to develop lacrosse skills and have some fun! Thank you for your understanding. Together, we will navigate through this season! Sincerely, Kelly Fines President AVMLA See more

The 2021 will be starting soon Please make sure you have your coaching application in as soon as possible as the deadline is approaching. If you are interested in getting involved this year as an assistant or helper you will need to get your coaching certification, no one is allowed on the bench or floor without been certified.... All coaching inquiries are to go to [email protected]

A message from our President: Welcome back to Lacrosse! Registration is open and I want to encourage everyone to register their player as soon as possible. Registration is the only way that we can determine team sizes and allows us to get coaches in place as quickly as possible, so that when we are able to start practices, we are ready to go. ... I wanted to take a moment to address a few rumors I have heard circulating about the season, when/if it’s happening, etc. I am sure people mean well when they give out information, but if it isn’t accurate, it can cause disappointment and concern. Our Executive’s goal is to get all players on the floor. We are all working hard to achieve that goal. We are all volunteers and we do our best to answer questions/emails/calls as quickly as possible. We want to be sure the information that we send out is accurate and so sometimes there is a delay while we check to make sure we are giving the correct information. If you have questions about AVMLA or the upcoming season, please ask an Executive member, who will get you the correct information. The guidelines for this season will be different than any other season, so even if you are speaking with someone who has been involved in lacrosse for years, if they are not on the Executive, they won’t have the most accurate information. All Executive members contact information is available on our website. If you have any questions, I can always be reached at [email protected]. I will get back to you as quickly as I can. Thank you for your support for our organization and please register your player asap to hold his/her spot. The deadline for the Early Bird Discount is Feb 10/2021. You are not required to pay immediately. Payment can be delayed up to March 31/21 if that is more convenient. As mentioned, we do need the registrations done asap so we can plan for teams. Thank you, Kelly Fines President AVMLA
