Our protocols are determined by US Lacrosse, the Commonwealth of Virginia and local
public health officials and are subject to change based on the recommendations of the
aforementioned organizations. Should public health officials deem it necessary to scale
back and institute stricter protocols, we as an organization will not hesitate to do so. We
are committed to ensuring that our athletes, families and coaches remain safe and
healthy. It is incumbent upon each of us; parent, athlete and coach to adhere to these
guidelines in order to facilitate a spring season.

**The CDC advises mask wearing for practice and game play for all youth sports.
Coastal Crush strongly recommends that athletes train and play in face masks. Coastal
Crush is, AT THIS TIME, not mandating the use of face masks during game play but
reserves the right to implement one should local and state health officials require it.**
