If you have not already done so, please make sure all of your paperwork is turned into the HS athletic admin, Mary Sue Silver by Wednesday, February 20. The following 4 forms are required and must be turned into the office before you can start practice on Monday, February 25. All forms are available at the HS office if you are in need of any.

1) Yellow Medical card—you will receive the lower half back to turn into the coaches, after Mary Sue has checked that you have a valid physical on file at the school.

2) Athletic Eligibility form

Please do not wait until the last minute! Mary Sue has 11 Spring sports teams to handle this year so lets make her job as easy as possible.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter.

******************************

Bainbridge Boys’ Lacrosse adheres to a strict dress code on game days. High school lacrosse players are expected to wear dress pants (not game shorts), dress shirts and ties to school on every game day (home and away) for their particular team. This rule applies to all three of our high school lacrosse teams.

Transportation

Whenever possible, Bainbridge Boys Lacrosse provides transportation for high school players to away games. However, due to high volume and limited capacity, the school district is not always able to rent one of their buses to our club. On those occasions, we must rely on the assistance of parents in transporting players to away games. This has been common practice for all teams over the years. While new players and families may not be aware of our policy, please note that at no time should any player be transporting himself or other players to away games regardless of the player's age.

The Bainbridge Boys Lacrosse Club Policy is:

1. No player may self-transport or transport another player to or from an off-Island GAME. Self-transport and the transport of others to and from an on-Island game or practice is permitted.

2. Parents or chaperones who provide transport (for lacrosse players of any age) should have signed a Volunteer Driver Form prior to providing the transportation to away games.

This policy is consistent with the school district's policy, P2151 "Interscholastic Activities Programs," which states that "students, including adult-aged, may not self-transport." The school district also prohibits any volunteer drivers under the age of 21 years for trip activities. We, therefore, must rely on the support of our parents when carpool drivers are needed.

Parents of lacrosse players should have received or will soon be receiving a volunteer driver form from your team parent. We ask that you complete this form and return it to the team parent so that we have the appropriate documentation on file consistent with school district policy for volunteer drivers.

Parents of high school players can also see their team parent about the possibility of getting reduced-cost ferry passes if you are transporting several players to an away game. These passes need to be arranged in advance of games through your team parent.
