Spring Season Rental Gear Return at Day of Lacrosse
Please be prepared to turn your gear back into the League this Saturday after your final game. This year the Gear Return Area will be located towards the NE part of the park, along with all of the other vendor and league booths. (see attached Field Map)
All of your team Coaches and Managers have been notified of the return process as follows-
Immediately after your game, proceed to the return area, with your Coach or Team Leader, turn your gear in, get your deposit check back and then go enjoy the rest of Day of Lacrosse.
The Deadline for gear return is Day of Lacrosse with the following 2 exceptions-
IF-
You cannot be at Day of Lacrosse, your Coach will collect it from you at your last session with the team this week, be it game or practice. (A 13 gallon plastic trash bag with your son’s name and Coach’s name in sharpie on the outside works awesome)
IF-
You are participating in any Summer League play or Camps and would like to hold onto the gear, we have a Summer Rental Extension as an option. Please complete the Supplemental Summer Rental Agreement (click the link) and bring it along with a $50 Check made out to TVYLL and we will attach it to your Spring Agreement and deposit check. The return date for the extension is August 18th, 1 week after the last BSU camp.
The TVYLL Equipment Department (me) has to manage the collection, organization, cleaning and redistribution of 300+ sets of gear for the Summer and Fall sessions as efficiently as possible. In order to do this, we need your understanding and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Day of Lacrosse Information
The Treasure Valley Youth Lacrosse League (TVYLL) will hold a day-long event to celebrate the end of our spring season on May 19, 2012 at Ann Morrison Park (click for DOL map) from 9 am to 6 pm.

posted 04/24/2012 Dear TVYLL players and coaches,
We hope all of your seasons are going well. This is just a quick note to thank all of you for attending the Rhino Lacrosse clinic last week. It is amazing to see the steady growth and emerging talent in the Boise area. The coaches were extremely helpful in running the clinic and we thank you for that. Like we said at the clinic, it was awesome to pull up to the fields on Tuesday night and to see all the U13/U15 games being played and the other U9/U11 boys dressed and ready for practice. Looking out at the fields from afar reminded us some of the lacrosse hot beds of the country that we visit. The attitude and enthusiasm in the TVYLL from the players, coaches, and parents are second to none and we look forward to continuing to watch the entire TVYLL blossom.
We hope to see you at the Rhino Academy on July 9th-12th, where we hope to continue to help players reach all of their lacrosse goals. Please see the attached flyer that explains all the academy details. More details can be found HERE. Lastly, if you are new to the Boise Academy, laxallstars.com featured our 2011Academy and you can see what it is like to participate HERE. Have a great end to your spring seasons!
Regards,
Ryan Powell, Scott DeMonte & The Rhino Lacrosse Team

Honor the Game
Dear Parents/Players/Fans-
Last year and this year the league affliated with the Positive Coaching Alliance and have required our coaches to be certified by taking a two hour course which includes the following powerful easily remembered component: ROOTS
As we look forward to the Spring season, please help us Honor the Game by following the ROOTS example:
R is for Rules
Rules allow us to keep the game fair. If we win by ignoring or violating the rules, what is the value of our victory? TVYLL believes that honoring the letter AND the spirit of the rule is important.
O is for Opponents
Without an opponent, there would be no competition. Rather than demeaning a strong or weak opponent, we need to honor both strong and weak opponents because they challenge us to do our best as players and as leaders. Athletes can be both fierce and friendly during the same competition (in one moment giving everything to get to a loose ball, and in the next moment helping an opponent up). Coaches showing respect for opposing coaches and players sets the tone for the rest of the team. On same note, parents on the spectator side should applaud great play by other teams even if the results are not what they had have hoped for. Comments about players abilities should be kept to oneselves. Please remember that we have both experienced and new players every year so we need to encourage and applaud them all.
O is for Officials (VERY IMPORTANT)
Respecting officials, even when we disagree with their calls, may be the toughest part of Honoring the Game. We must remember that officials are not perfect (just like coaches, athletes and parents!). Take time to think about how to best approach an official when you want to discuss a call. What strategies do you have to keep yourself in control when you start to get upset with officials" calls? We must remember that the loss of officials (and finding enough in the first place) is a major problem in most youth sports organizations, and we can confront this problem by consistently respecting officials. Never confront an official in front of players. Always finish the game by shaking their hands and saying Thank You!
T is for Teammates
It"s easy for young athletes to think solely about their own performance, but we want athletes to realize that being part of a team requires thinking about and respecting one"s teammates. This respect needs to carry beyond the field/gym/track/pool into the classroom and social settings. Athletes need to be reminded that their conduct away from practices and games will reflect back on their teammates and the league, club, or school.
S is for Self
Athletes should be encouraged to live up to their own highest personal standard of Honoring the Game, even when their opponents are not. Athletes" respect for themselves and their own standards must come first.
