 (COVID-19) Response Plan
*This plan is fluid and may be updated when Creator’s Game, Palm Beach County and U.S. Lacrosse COVID-19 Plan is updated.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Creator’s Game is proposing the following guidelines to ensure the safety and health of our players, parents, coaches, and spectators. These proposed changes are aligned with the Center for Disease Control (CDC), National Institute of Health (NIH) and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and are subject to change as the pandemic and local restrictions are updated.
As government and local jurisdictional policies are updated, we will be in communication with the players and families to ensure you are up to date on any changes to these guidelines.

It is incumbent on you, the parent, guardian, and your child to understand, agree to and abide by these conditions before engaging in these activities with Creator’s Game Lacrosse Club, coaches and its staff.
