Westlock Lacrosse Association
Tyke & Mini-Tyke

To minimize the level of commitment and travel required, our Tyke teams will not participate in league games.  We offer this level as a fun developmental program with tournament and exhibition games.  It is a great way for new players to get great exercise and develop their stick skills.   

The Mini-Tyke program is a fun way to introduce younger players to the basic lacrosse skills.  Practices will be twice per week, approx. 45 minutes long.  At season end we may hold a fun exhibition game for a wind-up.

Parents and Coaches:  please note that there are new rules in place for the 2010 season for the Tyke and Mini-Tyke programs.  Please click on this link for more info:  2010 Tyke/Mini-Tyke rules

For Tyke players, full equipment is required (see Home page for a list).

For Mini-Tyke players: the equipment requirements are modified - the following are required for Mini-Tykes:  helmet with cage, good running shoes, athletic protector, kneepads, elbow pads, gloves, practice jersey, and stick. 

Coaches will be contacting all players shortly to let you know when the first practice will be.
