Return to Play guidance update - 17 May
England Lacrosse are pleased to announce the latest Return to Lacrosse Roadmap as restrictions continue to ease across the country.
As part of the Return to Play Roadmap, as of Monday 17 May, outdoor and indoor lacrosse are permitted under new England Lacrosse Phase 5 Return to Play guidelines. There are also some restrictions within the guidelines which we can now remove.
-
Spectators are permitted - Please follow the social gathering guidelines - Sport England FAQs
-
Changing rooms can open - Please follow social distancing guidelines
-
The Draw and Face–off can be re-introduced
-
Car sharing and the use of minibuses is permitted
With the reintroduction of the draw and face-off procedure, new officiating guidance has been issued in relation to handling the ball. This can be found in the Officiating Infographic and under Game Ball Protocol in the Phase 5 Guidance document.
Phase 5 Return to Play does not mean a return to lacrosse ‘as normal’, and as highlighted in the summary infographic below, there are still a number of protocols in place to ensure a safe return to lacrosse. The guidelines will be reviewed at regular intervals in line with the national Government roadmap.
The full Phase 5 Return to Play guidance document is attached below and all organisations intending to Return to Play should make sure they have read the document and are fully prepared before undertaking any organised lacrosse activity.
England Lacrosse will also be holding a whole game Return to Play webinar on Wednesday 19 May at 6pm. Please complete the webinar sign up form below.
If you have any questions regarding Return to Play that you would like to be addressed on the webinar, please include with your submission, or alternatively, email [email protected]
