Gear and Equipment News
 

• Eyewear:
  US Lacrosse adopted new standards for eyewear in 2020, but the Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League (NVYLL) did not enforce this new standard for the Spring 2020 season. (NVYLL is our governing organization for youth lacrosse in the area.) 
  
  The new standard will apply for Spring 2021 so make sure all players have approved eyewear that is certified to meet the ASTM 3077 performance standard. Check your eyewear to see if has the markings ‘ASTM 3077’ on them. All eyewear sold in local retail stores like Dicks Sporting Goods or Lacrosse Unlimited in Vienna have the new certification. 
  
  There is ONE exception to this rule and that is if your child requires Rx lenses. At this time there are no options for prescription lenses or goggles that meet the new standard. So your player can wear existing Rx lens goggles until  there is a manufacturer who produces prescription lenses/goggles which meets the ASTM 3077 standard as required by US Lacrosse and NVYLL.
