West Coast Force To Tour Japan In June 2022

One international tour for women's lacrosse players is on tap for West Coast Force. A West Coast Force women's team is going to Japan. Dates are June 21 - July 4, 2022. Invited players will pay their $1,000 deposit to hold a spot on the tour. The early bird price is $3,950 and the regular registration is $4,250. 

Covid safety planning includes and requires all participants be Covid-19 vaccinated, applicable boosters be received per the current medical directive as departure nears, a negative Covid test result be provided the day before departure, negative Covid tests during the tour and, of course, a mask worn at all times when not playing.  Regarding the popular option for home-stays on a few occassions during the trip, these may or may not be possible and we will keep all participants updated as we learn more. 

The team will leave for the Japan Tour departing June 201st from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for Nagoya International Airport (NGO).  The team is for players who are in high school or college. It is the fifth time we've toured Japan and we will visit Nagoya, Mt. Fuji and Tokyo. Games will be played mostly against university teams and regional select teams.
