The Washington Schoolgirls Lacrosse Association (WSLA) Board of Directors is committed to the growth and integrity of girls' lacrosse within Washington. We welcome innovative and constructive proposals from our member community and potential new partners. This policy outlines the required structure, deadlines, and review process for all submissions.

1. Purpose

This policy ensures that all proposals, particularly those related to league structure, membership (including Independent/Out-of-State), rule changes, or competitive formats, are submitted in a clear, complete, and timely manner for consideration by the WSLA Board of Directors.

2. Annual Submission Deadline

To be considered for the upcoming spring season, all proposals must be submitted electronically to the WSLA Board through the form no later than August 15 of the preceding calendar year (e.g., a proposal for the Spring 2026 season must be submitted by August 15, 2025).

• Late Proposals: Proposals submitted after August 15th will be deferred for consideration until the following academic year. The WSLA Board reserves the right to decline review of any proposal received past the deadline.
