2020 League Status

UPDATED 6/15/2020


Dear PBLA Family,


We’ve made a lot of progress on putting together a 2020 PBLA season. There are still a few hurdles for us but we can honestly say the odds are in our favor.


Recently the league administration and team captains had a Zoom meeting to discuss potential situations. We will need a plan-of-action to assure hosts, facility operators, and local & state government agencies that we’re being proactive with COVID-19 mitigation. In our meetings we’ve talked about rule tweaks, pre and post game social distancing, and sanitation.


A subject that came up was insurance. We’ve learned that many facilities will be requiring, at a minimum, full and total liability waivers. Another thing they will want is clubs or leagues to provide insurance policies. Previously, we were under the umbrella of the Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation as a city activity. However, we were told at the end of last last season that the city will be requiring all adult leagues to obtain private insurance. To that end we’ve decided that joining US Lacrosse is the best choice moving forward. We have considered this in the past and decided we at that time we didn’t want to do it based on the various rules differences. However after extensive discussion with US Lacrosse last week we’ve determined that the rules difference will have little to no impact on our play.


Unfortunately this means each player will incur an added cost to participate if you are not already a member. Membership in US Lacrosse will be a requirement for 2020 and you must enter your USL Membership number when signing up. The current adult membership fee is $55 and $35 for students. You’ll get the benefit of being insured while playing in the PBLA as well as many other tournaments and leagues. There are also many benefits like discounts on products you can take advantage of with your membership.


Due to that, a shortened season, and several other factors, the PBLA will not doing a uniform order this season to help keep the cost to our players as low as possible. Please contact your captain on what your team’s solution will be. Some may be using old jerseys. Others may decide to order new ones on their own.


Our recommendation is that you register now for US Lacrosse. While we can not guarantee that there’ll be a 2020 season yet, but if and when things progress, the window of time to register will be quite small. Sign up here: https://www.uslacrosse.org/membership When you get to the State/Club drop down menu look for the Philadelphia Box Lacrosse Association. If it is not there yet select the “I don’t see my club” box and type it in. Please place your US Lacrosse Membership Number in a spot you can access it readily when you register (put it in your contacts in your phone).


Thanks for your time, dedication and patience. We hope you are all well and staying safe.


Best,


Bob and Steve
Bob Stewart, PBLA Commissioner

Steve Innamarato, PBLA President
