Individual assessment sessions may be cancelled or rescheduled at the coaches’ discretion.  Further, weather is always an issue at this time of year.  Any changes to the published schedule will be announced on the home page of VYI Lacrosse.

VYI Parents:

Concussion awareness is a growing topic in youth sports. In support of our athletes, VYI Lacrosse is providing an overview of concussions to both raise concussion awareness and also instill knowledge about the symptoms and risks of concussions across our coaching staff and parent community.

Please take a few minutes to review the information, which includes signs and symptoms of concussion and return to play risks and guidelines.

Parents are also encouraged to visit the "Heads-up" page on the CDC website to review concussion information and symptoms:
