About Us

Westlock Lacrosse was established in 2005 with three teams at the PeeWee, Bantam and Midget levels.  We have grown through the years, and currently offer teams at all levels from Mini tyke to Junior.  This year we are excited to have started Girls teams at Novice and Bantam level.

Our teams play in the GELC (Greater Edmonton Lacrosse Council), the Edmonton league which also includes teams from the following lacrosse clubs: St. Albert Rams, Ft. Saskatchewan Rebels, Leduc Crush/Beaumont, Sherwood Park Titans, North Edmonton Wizards, South Edmonton Warriors, West Edmonton Blues, and the Parkland Posse. 

Our Mini-Tyke and Tyke programs focus on skill development. Practice format includes a mix of drills and games.  These teams will participate in GELC games and the year-end tournament, and teams may also choose to attend other tournaments.

In 2009, 2010, and 2011 our Junior team played Tier III and Tier II in the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League (RMLL), which administers Junior lacrosse throughout the province. We took a break form Junior in 2012 but are glad to be back offering Junior Tier II every year since then.

We welcome players from Westlock and area. In previous years our teams have included players from Barrhead, Athabasca, Thorhild, Westlock County, and neighbouring counties.

Lacrosse is a fast game which provides excellent conditioning. It involves physical contact, and is a mix of basketball and hockey. It is played on an arena floor ("box") without the ice, with 5 runners and 1 goalie. For more information on lacrosse, check out our "Links" to the Alberta Lacrosse Association (ALA), GELC, Canadian Lacrosse Association (CLA), and various other sources. 

Our Association is volunteer-driven, and we welcome participation from parents to make our program a success.
