Important Information:
-
This waiver applies only to players aged 14 and under who require prescription eyewear.
-
Only specific eyewear models that meet ASTM F3077-17 standards and SEI certification are allowed. Please refer to the waiver for a list of approved models.
-
We recommend options like the Bangerz OTG goggles (designed to fit over glasses) or RecSpecs by Liberty Sports Slam goggles (available with prescription lenses). Another brand to consider is Betty; however, we are less familiar with their products.
-
This waiver process must be completed annually, so please ensure to submit it each year if your daughter continues to need prescription eyewear.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure your daughter has the necessary eyewear to play lacrosse safely and meet league standards.
