Due to the expected rain and the need to handle the required paperwork at the first practice, the first practice for the U15s has been postponed until Tuesday, 1/24.

Because Phoenix Park is closed to us until 2/6 we will be practicing at 6550 Filbert Ave, Orangevale (campus of the Pacific Charter School) from 1/18 through 2/2.

Players will need to check in at a sign in table the first day of practice, and will be required to turn in their signed Code of Conduct and Permission To Treat Form.  These forms can be downloaded here:
Players must have all required equipment (helmet, mouth guard, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, cup and cleats) and all registrations must be complete (including payment) prior to the first practice.

Also note, for the first few weeks we will be working with limited daylight hours so practice will end prior to the normally scheduled end time.  The sunset times for the first practices until our move to Phoenix are:

1/18/2012	5:12 PM
1/19/2012	5:13 PM
1/24/2012	5:18 PM
1/25/2012	5:19 PM

With rain in the forecast for later this week we wanted to make sure to explain our club wide rain out policy.  Your coaches will have additional information specific to your team. 
 
In general, lacrosse is an all-weather sport, so you should expect to practice and play games in the rain.    The exceptions are if the field is closed, or if there is a chance of lightning.
 
For us this season this means:
 
While we practice at Pacific Charter practices may be cancelled due to weather at your coaches' discretion. 
 
Once we have moved to Phoenix Field, our practice field may occasionally be closed by Fair Oaks Park and Rec.  We will monitor the status of the fields, and if they are closed will send out a notice to the entire club via email and text message that practice at Phoenix is cancelled.  Some coaches may have alternative arrangements (indoor, chalk talk, basketball courts, etc.) so please be sure to check with them to verify what your team's plans are in the event of field closure.
