Last week, Section V announced on their website that following the recommendations of the CDC and "in the best interest of our student-athletes, coaches and fans":
The date students are able to return to school will play a significant role in the length of the spring sports season and the potential of league, section and state championships. With school districts closed for an extended period of time, Sections and schools are individually determining the Spring sport start dates and practice parameters that best meet the needs of the students they represent.
Earlier this week, Canandaigua Head Coach Deven York sent the following message to the Canandaigua Lacrosse family. The well stated sentiment will ring true for the lacrosse community at large, so we have received his permission to publish it here. 
Just before the school closures, the Section V Non-Public/Charter School Committee, after study and consideration, approved the placement of McQuaid Jesuit into Class A for 2020.
The Livonia-Avon Lakers have a new Head Coach, just days before the start of 2020 season and he has deep ties to the program. John Sciera started the Livonia Bulldogs team in 2002 and was the Head Coach there through the 2007 season before the job went to Brett Wood in 2008. His record after six seasons was 61-53. 
The Livonia-Avon Lakers are in immediate need of a Varsity Head Coach for the season which starts in less than two weeks.
The Greece Storm is looking for a Modified Lacrosse Coach.

Update on Spring Sports |
| March 25, 2020 |
All Section V winter and springs sports programs are on currently on hold. This shutdown is in collaboration with the mandated school closures throughout all of Section V. This in the best interest of our student-athletes, coaches and fans. On March 23rd, Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director, sent a letter to each of the Sections, stating, in part: "When schools are able to return, students will need a sense of normalcy and providing them with any semblance of a regular season will be beneficial to them and their school community; senior nights, practice, team dinners and wearing a school uniform should be the focus of interscholastic athletic programs following the COVID-19 crisis.
The Officers and I have established Monday, April 27 as a determination date to officially examine the feasibility of hosting the NYSPHSAA Spring State Championships." When new information becomes available we will post it here. Full Story |
