A player may participate in more than one (1) Regional Championship as long as he/she meets the age requirements.  

Age Requirement
U11 Regional Championship
All current US Lacrosse members who meet the age requirements are eligible to compete in the U11 Regional Championship. Players may not be 11 years of age on or before August 31, 2011 to be eligible for the 2012 US Lacrosse U11 Regional Championship. Accordingly, players that turn 11 after August 31, 2011 are eligible.

Birthdate	Status
Born on or after 9/1/2000	Eligible for U11

U13 Regional Championship
All current US Lacrosse members who meet the age requirements are eligible to compete in the U13 Regional Championship. Players may not be 13 years of age on or before August 31, 2011 to be eligible for the 2012 US Lacrosse U13 Regional Championship. Accordingly, players that turn 13 after August 31, 2011 are eligible.

Birthdate	Status

U15 Regional Championship
All current US Lacrosse members who meet the age requirements are eligible to compete in the U15 Regional Championship. Players may not be 15 years of age on or before August 31, 2011 to be eligible for the 2012 US Lacrosse U15 Regional Championship. Accordingly, players that turn 15 after August 31, 2011 are eligible. Regardless of age, players that have competed at the high school level are allowed to participate; however, if a player’s high school season is still in play at the time of the event, that player is not allowed to participate in the U15 Regional Championship.

In an attempt to reduce burnout and overuse injuries, the 2012 US Lacrosse Youth Rules will state that, while high school players may be eligible for U15 competition, they should not do so concurrently with or in the same season as playing on a high school team. Players who compete on a high school team during the spring season, but meet the age requirements for U15 play, can compete on a U15 summer team. US Lacrosse does not have the ability to monitor and/or enforce this rule, but will rely on local organizers to ensure that excessive demands are not being placed on their athletes.

Birthdate	Status
Born on or after 9/1/1996	Eligible for U15

Proof of Age
All 2012 Regional Championship participants, in U11, U13, and U15 divisions, are required to submit to US Lacrosse a copy of a proof of age document in order to be eligible to participate in this event.

Acceptable proof of age documents:
   • Birth Certificate
   • Passport
   • School ID (if date of birth is present on ID)

Proof of age documents should be faxed (410-889-0744) or e-mailed to Shannon Minter AFTER the parent/legal guardian completes a player medical waiver.
