COVID-19 and EAA Activities Update, 3/29/20
Due to the recent "Stay at Home Order" put in place by Gov. Walz through April 10th, and the closure of District 196 facilities through at least May 5th, EAA has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the following spring sports: Track, Spring Volleyball, 6U, 8U and 10U Box Lacrosse and Girls Lacrosse Spring Clinic. Information regarding refunds will be sent to those registered for these programs separately.
At this time, we do not know the future of other spring sports slated to begin on or around May 1, such as Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Summer Field Lacrosse, Ultimate Frisbee and Rugby. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will follow the guidelines set by Gov. Walz, City of Eagan and ISD 196. In this unprecedented time, our priority is the safety of our athletes, our volunteers and their families. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through this together.
Sincerely,
J.J. Kirby
EAA President

WHO ARE WE?
Eagan Athletic Association (EAA) is a 50+ year old community led non-profit organization dedicated to the development of the community's young people through athletics. Our programs are planned, promoted and directed by unpaid volunteers who work together to strengthen the community.

HOW ARE WE GOVERNED?
The volunteer EAA Board of Directors is a policy-making body responsible for the smooth administration of its sports programs: baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, rugby, soccer, softball, track, volleyball and wrestling. The EAA Board of Directors is guided by volunteer sport boards and/or a sport director.
WE NEED YOU!
EAA relies on participation from hundreds of coaches and parents who volunteer many hours of their time to the youth of Eagan. Click here to find more information about volunteering with the EAA as our success depends on you!
