Weather Alert: Updated 5:00pm
The Seminole Lacrosse League has been carefully monitoring this afternoon’s weather situation. Upon review of real-time radar and other weather information, tonight’s Seminole League Clinic will be held as scheduled.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS!
The Seminole League takes safety very seriously. Due to the continuing chance of thunderstorms, PLEASE do NOT drop your child off at Darden Towe Park and then leave! In case of unexpected severe weather, Seminole will temporarily suspend the clinic, ask participants to seek shelter in their vehicles, and hopefully restart the clinic as soon as conditions warrant.

The deadline for registration for the 2007 edition of the Charlottesville Summer Lacrosse League is today, however, late registrations will be accepted until 6:00pm June 14th (draft night). Late registrations can be dropped off at the St. Anne’s-Belfield School Lower School Athletic Office, or faxed to 434.984.6233.

Coaches, please email your player lists to Doug Tarring or Tom McCrystal as soon as possible.

Team rosters will be published on cville-lax.com by noon on Saturday, June 16th. Play begins on Sunday, June 17th. Opening day games will be played at noon, 1:00pm, and 2:00pm. No player will be issued a jersey or allowed to play without payment of the $75 registration fee. New this year will be upgraded, reversible game jerseys; players will be expected to wear the new jerseys (rather than jerseys from previous years) on the field.

Note that due to traffic on Pantops Mountain, midweek games will have a start time of 6:30pm, which is one half hour later than in previous years.
