local league

  • Local League is a great place for players interested in lacrosse to learn, hone and develop their skills locally. Local League teams are carefully constructed and rebalanced if required to ensure the most even competition possible.

  • This age chart is for Local League registration, and only for the 2025 season:

    U5 - 2022/2021

    U7 -2020/2019

    U9 - 2018/2017

    U11 - 2016/2015

    U13 - 2014/2013

  • No. There is no residency requirement for Local League. Players participating in Local League lacrosse exclusively are able to register with any centre of their choice, regardless of where they live. No release required.

    *Players looking to register for a Rep program must register with their home centre.

  • Local League players above U7 are required to have:

    → lacrosse gloves

    → lacrosse stick

    → CSA-approved helmet with face mask

    → mouthguard

    → shoulder pads

    → arm and elbow guards

    → rib/back pads

    → athletic support and cup

  • We will try our best to accommodate ‘friend requests’, however we may be unable to fulfill every request, as we also strive to create balanced and fair teams for play. Players will be limited to only one 'friend request' and that request must be reciprocated in order to be accepted.

    Each age group will be on the floor at the same time, in the same arena to facilitate families assisting one another with transportation.

    Please forward any ‘friend requests’ to brendaburman@northmenlacrosse.ca

3-ON-3 MINI GAME (U7)

The 3-on-3 Mini Game is a non-contact introductory version of the game scaled for young children. The smaller floor size dimensions reduce the playing space to increase the game pace, in an effort to maximize participation and development opportunities for all players. It allows for more touches with the ball and keeps kids moving and engaged while learning to play lacrosse.

    Required Equipment: The program only requires players to wear helmets and gloves as opposed to full equipment, significantly reducing the cost of participation for parents.
