9/14/2020 Print Submission 2020-21 Club Sports Re-Registration Date Submitted:9/4/2020 1:26 PM Submitted by:Nolan Shipley Profile Official Organization Name Men's Lacrosse Club Acronym/Nickname Organization Description Summary The Men's Lacrosse Club was established in 2005 at the University of Arkansas. The club works to provide students with the opportunity to participate in and enjoy a meaningful and competitive program in the sport of lacrosse. Organization Description Our goal is to compete at the highest level of the sport while representing the University of Arkansas. The club provides a very competitive lacrosse experience without the overwhelming pressure and time-commitment of Division I varsity lacrosse. Our student-athletes are expected to dedicate themselves to the team, but they are given the time needed to focus on academics. Practices and Games: Playing lacrosse at Arkansas is a year-round commitment. We recommend that student-athletes schedule classes that end by 5:00 p.m. daily. Ending classes as early as possible on Friday accommodates team to travel that may begin on Friday. Most games are played on the weekend. Our club is a member of the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA). Within this national organization, there are now two divisions, ten conferences, and almost 200 teams. The Lacrosse Club competes in Division I of the Lone Star Alliance (LSA). The club is in the Northern Division of the LSA together with North Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Methodist, Texas Christian, and Texas Tech, and travels and plays universities from other conferences as well. The LSA tournament is in late April. The winner of the tournament, along with the champions of the eight other conferences, get an automatic bid to the MCLA National Championship Tournament in mid-May. Seven other at-large bids go to the highest-ranked teams (that did not receive automatic bids) in the final regular season poll.

Each phase has a set of General Requirements that apply across all team sports with specific requirements applied based on the nature of the contact required by the rules or conditions of the sport. Maintain minimum physical distancing of 6 feet between participants at all times, except when actively participating in the sport’s activity.

Student-athletes For outdoor sports, face coverings must be worn when not actively participating in an outdoor sports activity and there is not ample space to maintain physical distancing of six (6) feet between persons. Face coverings must be worn while actively participating if the face covering is not inhibitory to the activity. For indoor sports, face coverings must be worn at all times, except when a face covering is inhibitory while actively participating. Coaches and Instructors Face coverings must be worn at all times for indoor and outdoor sports, except for a brief time when coach or staff member has physically distanced at least 12 feet from athletes and other staff.
