Bandit Families,

We've received word that the Spring 2020 lacrosse season is canceled.  Below is the message we received from NVYLL.  We are extremely disappointed to have this happen but believe it's the right decision given the circumstances.

We'll never know now, but we were optimistic that all of our teams were appropriately placed and would have had a competitive season.  Also, this year our girls program made up almost half of our players - a record in our Bandits history!

As the season is canceled, we looking at issuing partial refunds. How that will happen and how much are to be determined. Some costs are already paid and we can not get back – equipment, field space, training, insurance, pinnies, etc. Some costs we’ve paid but believe we will be able to reclaim some or all of the amounts.  We'll let you know when that happens.

In the mean time, stay safe and healthy.

Bandits Board

NVYLL message:

Dear Commissioners and Families:

At the meeting of the NVYLL Executive Committee last night, we decided to cancel the remainder of the 2020 Spring Season.   Governor Northam ordered all schools and other community facilities closed for the remainder of the academic year, which means we will have no fields.   This is heartbreaking after so many of you spent months of volunteer work preparing for the season, and the boys and girls have been looking forward to it.   But we are left with no choice. 

Thanks again to the club commissioners, Executive Committee members, Executive Administrator, and Officials for all of the work that you put into this season.   It is tremendously disappointing to have to cancel the season but the safety of our lacrosse and broader community is more important.

Sincerely,

Jeff Grimson

Chair, NVYLL

If PRCS closes the fields then we will not hold practices. Please download the app at Rainoutline.com 

PRCS Rainoutline.com.

Parents and Coaches can download the app iPhone /Android which will be updated by 3 pm on weekdays and 7 am on weekends. As PRCS manages a total of 425 recreation use areas (fields, diamonds, gyms, etc), you will want to mark favorites.

A video tutorial on the app can be seen here: https://youtu.be/_1PAT-b6CHs

1. Upon downloading the app parents/coaches will want to search for: "Loudoun County" or "PRCS".

2. You can then scroll through all the fields/schools listed and by tapping the star on the right select only your favorites you would like to monitor‚  Remember there are 425 (fields, diamonds, gyms, etc) so you'll want to narrow it down to your favorites.

3. We strongly suggest you favorite the following Fields:

• Hampshire Park Field 1
• Hampshire Park Field 2
• Belmont Ridge Middle School

People can receive email or text alerts, but the App is the best way to go.  The app gives the benefit of quickly checking the status whenever you need to know as opposed to alerts that are sent every time the status is updated (which could be more often than you'd like).
