League Sign-up for concessions:   PRYL Lacrosse 2023 — Signup Sheet | SignUp.com

• If you are unable to fulfill these requirements, you can opt to pay $25 to a student aged 13 years or older. Please sign up using your name (in order to get credit) and communicate the student’s name to either the Team Manager (for Field Duty) or Angie Pickels (for Concessions).

Table & crease set-up/Game time keeper (1 per game)

Pick up the crease bag, table, and score-keeper's box from the concession stand.  Take them to the field and set up the creases around each goal.  Set the table up in the middle of the field (think dead center of the 50 yd line, then walk a few yards towars our half of the field to have adequate space between our game and 10u Green's).  The table should be facing our half of the field. 

Stopping and starting the timer each time with the referee blows his whistle unless it is a running clock game in which the referee and or coach instructs.  The clock keeper should discuss details with the referee prior to the game start on how many minutes in a quarter, 8,10 or 12 minutes and when the referee wants to be notified on time remaining, etc. Electronic game clock/horn will be used. 

Score/penalty keeper/Table & crease return (1 per game)

Bring a chair, pen/pencil, and your cell phone.  There should be working timers and pencils in the score-keeper's box but that doesn't always happen.  You will set and start/stop the clock according to the referee's instructions.  Play begins and ends with the whistle.  If you've never done anything like this before, do not feel intimidated - it is very easy at this level.

We most likely won't have many, if any, penalites.  Penalty timer is to keep the time on the penalty box sidelines using a clock timer/stop watch and advise the player when he can return to the field.  The referee will determine the penalty time and type of penalty, personal or technical.  The player will stay in the penalty box on one knee facing the field ready for his release.  At 15 seconds remaining on the penalty, the timer will announce to the player to “be ready” and at 10 seconds count down out loud through 1 second and then announce “release” for the player to return to the field.  Timer will note the player number, penalty time and type of penalty on the penalty form placed on the game table to keep track. 

If there is not a game after ours, please return the items to where you found them.  If there is a code needed to enter the concession stand, Tina will let you in.

Richland Park: located in the concession stand.

Ram Cage: so far, only a table can be stored in the concession stand.  More information TBD

Pine Park: no storage yet.  More information TBD

10U Green Updates

Hello everyone! For those of you who registered after I sent out my initial introduction, my name is Tina Proctor (mom of Josh #3) and I will be the team manager for the 10U Green team this season.  I work full time as an SLP at Quaker Valley School District and get terrible reception at work, so if I don't get back to a text quickly between 8-4, please know that it's not for lack of effort.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me via the Game Changer app (please download if you haven't already), text 412-480-8586 or email tinaproctor131@gmail.com. 

Our April practice schedule was just released and we will be practicing on Mondays from 6:00-7:30 and Thursdays from 7:00-8:00 at Richland Park, field 5. Those have been added to the Game Changer app, but all games and practices can also be found at the league website prlax.com.  As I said in my app message this morning, there are some inconsistencies with at least one date, so I'm waiting on clarification from our scheduler and will update the games as soon as I can.  In addition to the league's weekly email, you can expect to receive one from me as well with team-specific information.

• For all games, please arrive 30 minutes prior to start time so that the boys can warm up and coaches can review whatever they need to communicate for the day.
• Volunteer sign-ups are in the works and there are some changes this year.  At the time of uniform pick-up (TBD), please bring 1&2 below:

1) $25 check to cover a concession donation (this will be cashed).

2) $200 post dated check for 6/1/2023 made out to PRYL (will not be cashed unless you don't return your pinney AND fulfill your volunteer committments).  

3) You will also need to sign up for 2 volunteer spots in either the concession stand or on the field (1 each or 2 of one kind...as long as you reach a total of 2, you're good).
