Updated information as of 5/16/20

The YLM has been fielding a number of calls, emails and texts regarding the 2020 Summer Season, as we stepped back to consider all options we appreciate your interest and support, this is how our game will grow.

Taking into consideration the events of this season and the fact that many opportunities for our youth athletes have been cancelled, YLM is still committed to pursuing all avenues for a summer season.

That said, we realize at some point it may prove to be better to move on - but we are not there yet!!

Tentative plan for 2020 Season:

Basic summary is: A shortened season for all age groups, 7v7 style/rules, and observing social-distancing guidelines. 

No State Tournament will be held due to large amounts of people in a confined area.  This is for the safety of everyone.

Key Dates:

5/29 Team registrations due

6/15 Go / No Go* 

7/1 Season Start

8/14 Season End

5/29 Registrations due – despite the events surrounding this season, registration numbers have been strong and growing. More associations have shown interest in the YLM and developing their athletes. We encourage you to think about how many teams you would like given the 7v7 play, team balancing is encouraged, rosters will be fluid through the season and development should be top of mind. (More info will be sent out requesting registrations)

6/15 - Go/No Go Date. Based on the environment at the time, the YLM will make a determination if the 2020 Season will proceed or be cancelled.

The season start of 7/1 will allow us to get started prior to the 4th of July, break for a few days and get started back up on the 6th.

Teams would be encouraged to practice/get outside, if they choose, between 6/15-7/1 while observing guidelines set forth at that time.

7/1 – 8/14 Season, previously we asked if there would be support to extend past the normal season end date. There was a lot of support for this and it makes sense if we can have a season. We realize other (Fall) sports get started and have decided not to extend through August, but extend through 8/14.

Fees – fees will be adjusted for a shortened season, we are working on what that number will be, at this time please register and do not worry about payment.

In summary, our attempt to hold a season is to give the kids an opportunity to play, get outside and see their friends. We can only do this with your support and understanding that this situation is fluid and may change rapidly based on the Mn State direction and the environment at the time.
