In Memory of ISAAC HARDING

Boulder Valley Lacrosse has lost a good friend and teammate in Isaac Harding, who passed away on February 5.
Isaac's Memorial Service was held on Saturday, Feb 11 at Broomfield United Methodist Church. It was a celebration of Isaac's life.
Isaac's parents are inviting everyone to write on the Isaac Harding Memorial facebook page and say "If I had one more day with Isaac..." and then fill in with what they would do. If Facebook does not work for them, then they can email it to
. We will create a book of the postings and emails for Isaac's family. At the service, we are inviting each person to get up and read what they would do if they had one more day with Isaac. If they feel they cannot read it themselves, then someone else will read it for them.
The theme for Isaac's service was One More Day with Isaac and the official color was BVL GREEN. Isaac's obituary is posted here: http://www.dailycamera.com/obits/ci_19914146
Dr Jan Hittelman has graciously volunteered his services to the BVL community. Parents may contact him for direction at www.boulderpsychologicalservices.com

| | | | | CYLA Adopts US Lacrosse Age Eligibility Rules for 2012 | | | | by
posted 12/31/2011 NEW FOR 2012:
The CYLA (Colorado Youth Lacrosse Association) has voted to adopt new US Lacrosse rules regarding age-based classification for the 2012 spring season. Teams will now be grouped in divisions on the basis of age, not grade.
This rule change has been adopted to improve player safety and to insure consistency in team classifications. Many soccer & hockey programs have been using these age-based guidelines for years.
Most BVL players will not be impacted by this change. A few BVL players will move "up" or "down" based upon their birthdates, to play for the appropriate age-based team. BVL strongly supports this rule change and believes it will have a positive impact on the quality of game play.
IF YOUR SON IS IMPACTED BY THE NEW AGE GUIDELINES:
We promise to do everything in our power to insure a positive experience for players compelled to change teams. Once the registration process is underway, we will communicate with parents of affected players to determine the best team fit. Feel free to email
if you have a question or a concern about this process.
Click here to view official US Lacrosse Age & Eligibility Guidelines.
Teams will be set up as U15 (under 15), U14, U13, U12, U11, U10, U9, and U8 for the 2012 spring CYLA season. All 8th grade players will be kept together on U15 teams (no U14 teams in BVL).
BVL Select teams will play at the U12, U13, and U15 levels.
A player's eligibility for the 2012 season is determined by his age on August 31, 2011.
-
For example, any player born on or after September 1, 1999 is eligible to play U12.
-
A player born on August 31, 1999 or before is not eligible to play U12 and must play U13.
NO PLAYER WILL BE PERMITTED TO "PLAY DOWN" IN AGE CLASSIFICATION.
