Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The early bird savings opportunities for two great educational opportunities for coaches, officials and league administrators — the US Lacrosse National Convention in Philadelphia and the US Lacrosse West Regional Conference in Las Vegas — expire on Wednesday. Sign up today and save on the walk-up registration prices.

2. US Lacrosse Magazine Editor-in-Chief Matt DaSilva takes a deep dive with Paul Rabil discussing the new Premier Lacrosse League.

3. The Professional Lacrosse Players Association is still recommending to its players not to sign contracts or report to training camps until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached.

On today’s #PLPA conference call, the Player Reps reiterated their position to not sign contracts, attend physicals or camps until a fair CBA is reached and ratified. The leagues proposal of this past Monday was unanimously rejected. #PLPA #FairDealOrNoDeal
