SOLL is back for Summer 2021! Register Now!

 SOLL is back as a High School+ league!  Register your players and get your teams together now!  See all the details below:

Dates:  Thursday nights starting at 5 p.m. June 24-August 12 (tentatively).  Dates may change due to conflicts and players will be notified of the changes.  This will be every Thursday night during this period, so check your calendars and plan accordingly.

Game Times:  5, 6 and 7 p.m. - depending on number of teams

Location:  Chester Park Field (Field 9) on the UMD Campus.  Park in Lot R-3 off Woodland Avenue (see attached parking map).
31 W Clover St, Duluth, MN 55812 - https://goo.gl/maps/6EfaZkjJAzWhYkfg9

Ages:  9th grade and up.  This will be a high schoolleague with some alumni and older players participating.

Teams:  Players will form their own teams and we will add additional "free agents" to some teams to try to even out competition.  Teams can be a mix of current high school players and alumni.  We're hoping to have a couple of Duluth teams, an alumni team and teams from Hermantown/Proctor, Grand Rapids and Superior/Cloquet/Carlton/Esko.  Rosters should be at least 10 players and larger rosters would be better as players often miss some games during the summer.

Cost:  $65.  Player fee will cover league expenses (field rental, balls, equipment, insurance, permits, referees, field marking, etc.)

Uniforms:  Players will provide their own reversible pinnies (dark and light).  We all have quite a few reversible pinnies already, so we won't be adding another at this time.  Teams may also create their own uniforms with their team name if they like. Team names will be made up by each team.  Please keep it appropriate.

Format:  7v7 field lacrosse.  This format utilizes 2 attack, 2 midfielders, 2 defenseman and 1 goalie.  Field size is smaller.  See all the rules on our website - https://solllax.blogspot.com/p/rules.html  PLEASE READ RULES PAGE CAREFULLY!

Registration:  Please start registering NOW!  Go to https://forms.gle/khXrpS8JBpbQEY9J8 to register.  Your registration will be complete once your player fee is paid.  If the link to player fee payment isn't working on your registration form, please go here https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3HPM5Q29N2APJ to pay your player fee.  Please register by JUNE 16 so we can have teams and schedules ready to go.  You may register after this time, but we'd really like to get our teams put together as soon as possible.  Also, we NEED goalies, so please encourage any goalies you know to play this summer and we will get them on a team.  Goalies will play for FREE.

I also want to give you a heads up that schedules and final team formation will likely be very last minute.  Our experience is that people fail to register in a timely manner which leaves us scrambling to make sure teams are formed, delaying game schedules.    Please register as soon as possible if you plan to play this summer.  We operate on faith that teams will come together, but this does delay things.  Schedules and teams will be formed, please be patient.  Also, keep this email as it contains all of the information you'll need to register and pay your player fee as well as schedule and location information.  Thanks!
