At the Special General Meeting held on Monday Jan 29, 2007, it was agreed that 15 year old players could play in senior lacrosse subject to the terms of the dispensation from the Men's Playing Committee of the ELA.

In order to ensure that SEMLA Clubs adhere fully to the terms of the dispensation and thereby reduce the risk of injury to the players and insurance claims against any match officials, the attached form has been created.

It is vital that if your Club has any 15 year old players who fall into this category that you take urgent action to return the completed forms to the SEMLA Hon Sec. by post or fax, not email as we want actual old fashioned signatures.

The Hon Sec, will then return the form with an endorsement that it has been registered as required by the dispensation. The form should then be made available to any referee who wishes confirmation that the player in question has been properly registered for dispensation.

I apologise to those clubs who have previously registered players by email for repeating the work, however, in light of the circumstances, I am sure that you understand the need to have a fully compliant and standardised system across SEMLA.
