The New Canaan High School girls lacrosse staff is so excited to be coaching the 15th year of NCLA fall clinics.  Coach Kristin Woods, Coach Emma Sheeran, Coach Nicholas & Coach Vincent will be working closely with all the girls to improve their individual fundamentals and learn basic team concepts.  Each clinic will focus on cradling, dodging, ground balls, catching, throwing, shooting, 1 v 1 defense as well as man up, man down situations.  We are thrilled to be working with the future New Canaan Lady Rams.

General NCLA Covid Protocols:

• Stay home if you do not feel well, are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been exposed to someone with signs or symptoms of COVID-19.  If a player has missed school due to illness or close contact, they may not participate in lacrosse activities.
• If a player shows signs/symptoms of Covid-19, that member MUST take a PCR test before returning to play. A negative rapid test will NOT be accepted because a rapid test is not as accurate as a PCR test.    
• If a player has been quarantined after close contact with someone who is known to be positive for Covid-19, that player MAY NOT participate in lacrosse until their quarantine period has ended.  You can not test out of a quarantine.
• If you are currently following school guidelines and are in quarantine, you MUST stay home from all lacrosse activities
• If an individual does not have Covid-19 symptoms BUT had close contact to someone diagnosed with Covid-19, they should have a test taken no earlier than 5 days after last exposure  
• If a player is quarantined as a close contact and has no symptoms, siblings of that player may participate in lacrosse activities.

**If your player is quarantined, it must be reported to

Patricia Mee -  - AND your Grade Level coordinator.***  

We appreciate your attention to these safety measures in order to ensure a successful lacrosse season.
