COVID-19 Safety Update & Weather Policy

COVID-19 Update for Summer 2023 Camps

In an effort to safely conduct any of our day lacrosse camps this summer, we are closely following “return to play” recommendations and safety protocol outlined by a number of organizations including the CDC, the State of Delaware, Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA), US Lacrosse and any of our host venue organizations.

In all scenarios if/when we do hold camp, we will factor in the following safety precautions, among others, recommended for safe outdoor youth sports camp programs in Delaware:

- masks are optional for players/coaches

- all staff not exposed to anyone with COVID-19

- campers should provide their own water bottles and lacrosse equipment

- close adherence to Public Health Guidance and Suggested Guidelines for Returning to Youth Sports Safely During COVID-19

 We will continue to monitor the safety recommendations outlined above and also follow guidance by our host schools.  

 If your camper is unable to attend any of our camps due to COVID-19 related concerns, we offer two (2) options:

1. Full refund to be processed by September 1, 2023 via credit card charge back

2. Full credit to a future Rippin’ Rope Lacrosse camp or clinic

Continuing to provide a great lacrosse camp experience is always a top priority but the safety of everyone involved with Rippin’ Rope Lacrosse Camps is paramount.  

Bad Weather Policy:

Producing quality lacrosse education programs is our number one priority, however, weather can make the game of lacrosse dangerous.

Rippin' Rope Lacrosse Camps and clinics will aim to meet rain or shine but, in the rare instance of a thunderstorm and/or lightning during, or prior to, any outdoor lacrosse sessions, Rippin' Rope Lacrosse does reserve the right to cancel a camp or clinic session if the conditions are unsuitable and/or dangerous for reasonable lacrosse play.

If the forecast on the day of a given session clearly calls for thunderstorms and/or lightning before the start of a camp or clinic session, Rippin' Rope Lacrosse reserves the right to cancel in advance of a camp or clinic session starting.

Determinations whether to cancel any session(s) will be made no more than two hours BEFORE a session starts.

Cancelation notices will be sent via email and a conspicuous update will be posted on the home page of www.rippinrope.com no more than two hours BEFORE a session is to begin.

It is a good idea to check www.rippinrope.com for all weather related decisions regarding camp or clinic.

There are no refunds or prorates for single camp or clinic days that are cancelled.

If more than two sessions of a camp or clinic program is canceled due to the weather, then a half tuition refund will be issued to all registrants. If two or less sessions of a program are canceled due to weather, then no refund will be issued.

We would much rather be on the field coaching and learning but, unfortunately, the weather is out of our control.

It is customary that Rippin' Rope Lacrosse will issue coupon codes via email for future Rippin' Rope Lacrosse programs, on a case-by-case basis, should camp or clinic cancelations occur.
