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.

BVL Coaches' Honor Incentive Program
by posted 12/31/2011
 

2012 Coaches’ Honor Incentive Program (CHIP)
 
In 2012, the BVL Board of Directors is challenging our coaches to “step up our game !”  We have created the CHIP program to reward coaches who pursue additional educational opportunities and seek to expand their coaching abilities.  BVL will reimburse coaches for 100% of expenses related to these educational opportunities. 
 
Every coach who completes an online course or outside clinic will receive points towards BVL gear or a scholarship for his son, or credit toward BVL gear and Breakaway Sports gift cards for our non-parent coaches.  We’ll track the overall points winner among coaches, and he will receive 2 Outlaws season tickets! 
 
ALL coaches in BVL will be required to complete the online concussion course at www.cdc.gov/concussion, as mandated by the new Colorado state law, and must also pass a background check before taking the field with a team.
