Good Afternoon CT Wolves Families

I hope all the MOMS had a fantastic Mothers Day!

As we continue to monitor our summer season, most, if not all of our summer tournaments continue to "push back" tourney dates so it's clear we anticipate that our usual summer season of June/July has shifted to July/August.

As of now, we still plan on only attending tournaments within a 2 hour(ish) drive from our respective homes and have back up plans in place to play local club teams in the event tournaments are canceled.

In the event that large gatherings are not allowed, we already have plans and dates confirmed with other local club teams to play games. We are still formulated plans for each Wolves team and have 10-14 other club teams on board with smaller events.

We now anticipate starting practice on July 6th and ending our season on or about August 9th.

Good Afternoon CT Wolves Families-

We hope you are all doing well. We wanted to provide a quick update on summer tournaments and hotels.

We continue to monitor our summer situation on a daily basis, and we're doing our best to plan ahead. Our number one priority is the safety and well being of our players, families and coaching staff.

As of now, none of our tournaments have been cancelled. Some tournaments have not made any changes to their dates, some have changed dates and some are still evaluating the situation. With that said, we have come to the conclusion that it is in our best interest to try to play tournaments that are relatively local without burdening families with traveling too far.

Each tournament on our new schedule is within about a 2 hour drive from all of our respective surrounding towns.

To check the status of all our teams and what actions to need to take place please go to: https://www.ctwolveslax.com/page/show/5740455-summer-2020-tournaments-

Please let us know if you have any questions and we can't wait to get back out on the fields soon!!

April 8, 2020

First off we hope all of you are safe, healthy and staying sane during these most difficult of times. Thanks to all of you that ordered gear so far (remember store closes tomorrow)  to help support all of our local hospitals. We will have a live CT Wolves Store next week with all sorts of other gear to order for this spring and summer.

I wanted to give you all an update as it pertains to our summer 2020 lacrosse season. We are all working on a number of options, back up plans, to make sure our summer 2020 is a great experience all around!

In the recent days there seems to be some real optimism about summer lacrosse but we wont know for sure for a bit and there will be some changes that I wanted to give you all a heads up on. Everything remains to be in tact (at the moment) but there will be (and have already happened) some date changes and likely no overnights for us this summer.

At this point there has been ZERO cancellations..

AGAIN THIS IS ALL FLUID AND CHANGES LITERALLY BY THE DAY SO NOTHING IS SET IN STONE YET..

IF SUMMER TOURNAMENTS ARE A GO

1. June/July Summer lax is looking more like late June, July/Early Aug lacrosse at this point
   1. Most of our June tournaments have already moved to at least late June or July/August.
2. There is a real probability that all of our summer tourneys will be either day only or a drive reasonable enough to drive there and back in same day if a 2 day event. We are trying to pick spots and events that requires a drive no longer than 2 hours or so from your respective homes. 
3. 2023-2021 teams will likely not go to Maryland (Inside Lacrosse) and will likely play at Bryant, Westminster, and Legacy tourneys (Devens, MA) with one added tournament if not Maryland.
4. 2024-2029 teams will likely play either Long Island, Westminster School (Simsbury CT), Westchester (SUNY Purchase), Bryant (Smithfield RI), Loomis Chaffee School CT,  Yale New Haven, or Legacy (Devens MA).
5. New Dates for these tournaments will be communicated in the coming days and weeks but tournaments likely not to start until at least late June or July 2020.

IF SUMMER TOURNAMENTS ARE A NO GO

1. 2024-2029 teams will play in a league or "round robin" type games consisting of the Tri State and NE area's top programs (10-14 programs) with a playoff style format.
2. Our 2023-2021 HS teams will play some of these programs with similar style games and will be TBD based on a number of factors. These include potentially live streamed games for college coaches, round robin and "play days" among the Tri-State and NE area's top programs, and dates that fit locations to play games.
3. We are being safe and realistic about where and when we would be playing these games so rest assured we are all in the best interest in the safety and well being of our players, families and coaches.

Regarding Hotels and what to d (will be updated daily)

1. We will be communicating next week as to which tournaments have been affected so far and which hotels to cancel or change so don't cancel anything yet until next week.
2. I did not mention Lake George tourney as a possible destination so what do we do?
   1. Lake George is not likely but if things drastically improve within the next few weeks Lake George still has a small change of us attending so don't cancel yet-

We encourage all of your sons to keep sticks in their hands, stay or get in shape, and be smart about where they are practicing in preparation for a great summer for CT Wolves!

More details to come soon!
