IMPORTANT UPDATE! 970 Girls and Boys Lacrosse Season Postponed

We received notice from the AYL and CYLA that due to COVID-19 our lacrosse season is postponed until May. The plan is to restart the season in May. As of now there will be no practice either, as we want to ensure that everyone stays safe and healthy. Most other clubs are postponing practices as well. We will deliver updates as we get them.

Thank you for understanding. Check for messages from your son's coach, as they may be sending stick work and other skills players can work on at home.

We take a lot of pride in our area, and want to do what we can to help families in need.

The items donated in Fort Collins will go to the Food Bank of Larimer County. Please note that we are following all social distancing guidelines. Anyone who is sick or exhibiting any symptoms of a cold should not handle or deliver food items. If families do not feel comfortable delivering items, please know there are other ways you can help!

Once at the parking lot, people dropping off can either a) pop their trunks and volunteers can grab donations, or b) park and put donations on the cement for volunteers to pick up and pile.

UNIFORM ORDERS - Thursday 1/30/20

Dear 970 Lax Boys and Girls Families,

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out for the uniform fitting last night!

Due the large amount of players who needed to make changes to their original sizing we wanted to offer a second uniform fitting opportunity this Thursday (1/30) from 5:15pm-7:15pm at The Edge (4450 Denrose Ct). We would highly recommend any players who were unable to make it out last night to try and come to the fitting on Thursday! Most players needed to go up in sizes so we don’t want any players with uniforms that are too small!

We also were unable to offer youth size kilts for girls to try on last night but after connecting with the manufacturer they recommended youth size girls try on the boys youth size shorts to coordinate appropriate sizing.

Hoping this second opportunity will give as many people as the possible that chance to order the correct sized uniform!

Below are the tryout dates: To be registered for tryouts you need to be registered and paid. Even if that is a partial payment, you will be included in the tryouts so please make sure to get registered by January 30th and take advantage of the Early Bird Pricing!

UNIFORM ORDERS - Tuesday 1/28/20

We are using a new uniform manufacturer we thought it might be best to offer a "uniform fitting" day to allow players to come try on uniforms to confirm sizes. This will take place this coming Tuesday (1/28) at The Edge (4450 Denrose Ct, Fort Collins, CO 80524) from 5:15pm to 7:15pm. This will be for ALL 970 Lax players (boys/girls)! Players will have the opportunity to try on uniforms and confirm their sizes for both their tops and bottoms. We will be collecting sizes that night and can make changes for anyone who has already placed a uniform order. For any players who have not ordered a uniform you now have until MIDNIGHT on WEDNESDAY (1/29) to place your order. No uniform orders will be accepted after this date! On Thursday (1/30) an email will go out that includes a final uniform link that will allow anyone who was unable to attend the fitting session to make any necessary changes. These final changes need to be sent via the link provided by 5pm on Friday (1/31) so the final order can be sent over to the manufacturer. Changes not submitted before this deadline cannot be guaranteed!
