Status of Community Lacrosse Activities:
Under the current Alert Level 1 and Government guidelines, all Lacrosse activity may return.
Where possible, the following should still apply:
● Record keeping to enable contact tracing if required.
● Equipment and surfaces should be regularly cleaned and disinfected where practical.
● Good personal hygiene practices should continue – wash and dry hands before and after activity, cough into elbow and don’t touch your face.
● Stay home if you’re sick and do not take part in Lacrosse activities if you have flu-like symptoms, self-isolate at home and get tested immediately.
Please see the NZ Lacrosse Return to Lacrosse at Alert Level 1 appended to this Guideline for further details.
This supports Sport NZ and NZ Government guidelines and requirements.
