Updates to the Reference Manual
Clarifications/Reminders:
If an assistant coach is ever running practices alone, they must meet all of the head coach requirements.
Last Contest Date- No games scheduled for Fri. May 10.
Updates to the Reference Manual
Additions: Uniforms entered into Sportability- Players must have their
names and jersey numbers entered into Sportability and they should match all season long. If a coach or team delegate changes players’ uniforms without notifying opponents, that coach and/or program may be fined $100 per incident.
OWLUA will provide a card recording form for home teams
A fine of $100 will be imposed upon any team if they mistakenly mark a player as “played” in Sportability in a game where they were suspended for a red card.

League Growth
Moving up to Varsity in 2012 West Albany – Gold team
New JV in 2012
Reminder: Rule of 2
OGLA will continue to follow OSAA Practice Limitation Rule. This applies from August 20, 2012 – February 25, 2013:
“ A team may not make any attempt to gather more than 2 members of the same high school program together per day outside the defined lacrosse season to receive specialized athletic instruction from any coach associated with the high school program (paid or volunteer).”
Any activities cannot be mandatory, must be open to all, and no sticks
Reminder: Undue Influence & Tracking Transfers
Undue Influence Cannot recruit players, if potential player contacts you,
redirect them to OGLA
Tracking Transfers – Request due Feb 1 Transfers are allowed for students whose school doesn’t
have a team She may play for the school within her home district closest to where
she resides, with approval of that school’s officials
If student attends a private school that doesn’t have a team, she must play for the public school she would have attended
If a student is a senior and her family moves to a different school district, or a new team is started at her school and she is a senior she may continue to play for her current club if she desires.
Reminder: Coaches’ Code of Conduct
Key provisions
With regard to players:
I believe that the score of the game comes second to the safety and welfare of all players.
With regard to opposing teams
Neither I nor my players will display hostile behavior towards opposing players.
With regard to Umpires:
I will display a controlled an undemonstrative attitude toward umpires at all times.
Playoffs & LaxPower
Playoffs ONLY league games will be used to determine playoff berths.
Four (4) teams from each league will receive a playoff berth.
Each League will determine how berths are awarded and league rankings. All League Playoff Policies, including selection and tie-breaking procedures, must be on file with OGLA by 2/1/2013
Playoffs & LaxPower
Bracket Placement of 20 qualifying teams Teams will be seeded into the bracket according to their LaxPower
ranking as of 5/10/2013 at Midnight.
Out-of State contests will NOT be recorded/included in LaxPower
Adjustments may be made by OGLA board to avoid first round matchup between teams in the same league
