On November 1st, the CONNY board of directors and member teams voted to change to age-based competitive divisions from primarily grade-based divisions. This puts CONNY in line with USLacrosse guidelines. Until this vote, CONNY was the largest USL affiliate that did not conform to the age-based guidelines.
Specifically, beginning with the upcoming 2008 spring season, the new competitive divisions will be:
Senior Teams: now comprised of players under age 15 (U-15) as of the December 31 preceding the season -- for 2008, Senior players have birthdates of January 1, 1993 or later, and in 8th grade or lower.
Junior Teams: now U-13 (as of December 31 preceding the season -- for 2008, Junior players have birthdates of January 1, 1995 or later).
Lightning Teams: (new division) are U-11 (as of December 31 preceding the season -- for 2008, Lightning players have birthdates of January 1, 1997 or later).
Bantam Teams: now U-9 (as of December 31 preceding the season -- for 2008, Bantam players have birthdates of January 1, 1999 or later).
Boys can play up in age, but not down. For more details visit the CONNY website at www.CONNYlacrosse.org
