Dear All

Given the current COVID-19 environment and the restrictions that are still in place, Lacrosse SA has decided to contact Clubs directly this year requesting that they host the finals series, this is to enable the maximum number of attendees at a venue.

All finals will be gated by Lacrosse SA (players, team personnel and officials free). The entry fee schedule is as follows:

  • Women’s State League Semin Finals and Preliminary Final (Glenelg Lacrosse Club) – FREE
  • Men’s Semi Finals (East Torrens Payneham Lacrosse Club) – $5 before 10am, $8 after 10am
  • Women’s Semi Finals (Woodville Lacrosse Club) – Gold coin donation (Cash Only)
  • Preliminary Finals (Woodville Lacrosse Club) – $5 before 10am, $8 after 10am
  • Grand Final (Brighton Lacrosse Club) – $8 before 10am, $10 after 10am

Team Lists must be provided to the Executive Officer 72 hours prior to the major round for checking (please use the attached excel spreadsheet to submit your team lists).

Please refer to the attached for game times and confirmation of major round eligibility.
Please note:

  • No eskies or alcohol will be permitted to be brought into any of the venues throughout all of the finals series.
  • The number of people entering the venue will be monitored to ensure compliance.
  • COVID Marshals will be present at all venues.

BBQs / Sausage Sizzles / Shared Food

  • Certain measures must be taken to reduce the risk of infection, including:
    • People being served must practice physical distancing when lining up to order and practice good hygiene.
    • No self-service of condiments etc. (person serving the food must apply condiments).
    • Cooked food must be protected from contamination and stored away from the area where orders are placed.
    • Shared food (i.e. oranges, lollies and recovery food) is still considered communal food and is not permitted.
