Next Level & Stampede Lax LAX COVID-19

SAFETY POLICIES & PROCEDURES

 

Stampede Lax and Next Level Lax, will be returning to the playing field with a strong set of health and safety procedures as it pertains to the COVID-19 virus to help ensure the safety and well-being of our players and their families along with our staff and coaches.

 

Covid-19 is a highly infectious respiratory virus which can be spread primarily through contaminated droplets in the air. Although, the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions are the most susceptible, this virus does not discriminate as it can infect people of all ages. To help prevent the spread of the virus, we feel it is imperative to implement safety procedures and guidelines at all our Stampede Lax and NLL practices, clinics, camps, tournament play and other activities.

 

By adhering to strict safety and wellness protocol and guidelines as outlined by USLacrosse, New York State, Erie County, the CDC, and other governing bodies, it will help build the trust and confidence that our players can safely return to playing lacrosse.

 

Until it is deemed that the COVID-19 is no longer a threat to our public health, we at Stampede Lax and Next Level Lax are implementing the following safety protocol and requirements which will be subject to change based on regulatory compliance and other issues:
