A Note from Seminole’s Al Sadtler
Dear Parents and Friends of Seminole Lacrosse,
Our partners in youth lacrosse, the Albemarle County Parks and Rec, have asked us to be aware of the parking restrictions at Darden Towe Park.
There is NO Parking near the men’s lacrosse fields nearest Route 20!
The very dry weather and heat have threatened the grass along that field and parking there may cause permanent damage to that area. There are no parking signs along the road nearest the tennis courts that we must obey.
Please park in the parking lots and walk to the fields.
Albemarle County Parks and Rec are our partners and hosts at Darden Towe. We are forever grateful for their hospitality in the summer and the use of this beautiful park. We cannot risk damaging the park or our standing with the county.
THANK YOU for your help with this situation and your positive support.
Al Sadtler
Director, Seminole Lacrosse

It appears the line of showers heading impacting Charlottesville will be well out of the area by 6:30. Seminole Boy’s practices will be held as scheduled.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS!
The Seminole League takes safety very seriously. As in most days in June, there is a chance of thunderstorms through the evening, so 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.

With projected temperatures near 100 degrees, Sunday’s Charlottesville Summer Lacrosse League’s game is cancelled. Play will resume Tuesday.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS!
The Seminole League takes safety very seriously. Saturday morning is projected to host temperatures ranging from the mid-80s into the 90s. Seminole will play all levels, however, in order to safely accommodate the projected heat, will run shorter periods of play, require all participants to drink water during breaks, and coaches will be on the lookout for symptoms of heat exhaustion.
Please anticipate that sessions will likely finish in less than the usual hour and a half allocated for play. PLEASE do NOT drop your child off at Darden Towe Park and then leave!
It is also important for parents to prepare players for the anticipated conditions. The Seminole Lacrosse League asks you to:
1) Be sure that your child has adequately hydrated before coming to the field.
2) Be sure that your child comes to the field with enough water to stay hydrated. We remind parents that water, not sports drinks or sodas, are the best defense against heat-related issues. In particular, sports drinks are great for AFTER play, not during play.
3) Be sure that you instruct your child to drink plenty of fluids during breaks, whether or not they are thirsty.
4) Be sure that you instruct your child that if your child develops a headache or dizziness, develops nausea, or stops sweating despite the heat, he or she should IMMEDIATELY inform a coach so that they can intervene.
