Notes on Zoning Changes & New Teams:
- For players who attend a school without an HRLax team: If the HRLax team zoning changes after two years of participation on an HRLax team, seniors may apply to be “grandfathered” onto the team they played for the prior season according to the following guidelines (all must be met):
- The criteria for placement were accurately followed at the time of original placement or the player.
- The player did not move residences from one zone to another or change school situations.
- The team on which they previously participated still allows participation by players who do not attend the team's school.
- The school the player attends did not form a TCIS, or VHSL lacrosse team (see Zoning Policy 1 and 2 above)
- The player does not play for a Virginia Beach school.
