Box lacrosse in this league is recreational and non-tiered. There are usually 2 league games and 1 practice per week throughout the season, except for the Tykes group, which will probably be meeting once each week, with both fun drills and scrimmage each session. WMLA emphasizes sportsmanship, skills and teamwork. All girls and boys are given a chance to participate on an equal level, regardless or size or ability. All our coaches are certified under Canadian Lacrosse Association rules, as are our game officials.
Kids come to love the game's fast pace and positive competition.
It is a great sport to improve or maintain fitness level and hand-eye coordination. Its short season does not interfere with summer holidays and compared with many other sports, it is inexpensive to register and equip. Many pro hockey players have played, and continue to play lacrosse. It is known to be a great off-season replacement for hockey. Wayne Gretzky, Joe Nieuwendyk, Jeremy Roenick and Brendan Shanahan all played lacrosse, and are enthusiastic promoters of its benefits.
