Important Tips!

Team managers/coaches will be required to pick up their packages of swag and player game awards at their first game. Each team will be responsible for keeping these as they cannot be supplied again if lost or damaged.  Each team will be given a set of 3 for their 3 games.

Team managers/coaches please ensure a clean environment for all participants, please leave the dressing rooms clean after each use. Team managers/coaches please let your players know that no lacrosse balls are to be used outside of the playing field. Balls will be confiscated, and your team will be responsible for damages.

Rock The North embraces the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship. Abuse of any kind, by anyone, towards players, referees, timebox volunteers, coaches, fans, etc., WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
