Who Can Play?

The Olds Minor Lacrosse Association welcomes ALL players between the ages of 4 and 17.
No experience necessary, all abilities are WELCOME!
 

What About the Travel?

Our league is not tiered, so all teams play each other, which means you get to see a bit of Central Alberta throughout the season. For U11 and up the season consists of six home games, and six away games. Our league includes teams in Carstairs, Innisfail, Sylvan Lake, Red Deer, Stettler, Ponoka/Lacombe, and Blackfalds, so you may end up in a few of those arenas! U7 and U9 are structured with fewer games, but often out of town, with two games being played in a single day sometimes.
On top of league games, most teams commit to attending at least one tournament.
 

Opportunities for Everyone!
