Toronto Beaches competes in the Ontario Women’s Field Lacrosse (OWFL), the Junior Elite Women’s Lacrosse League (JEWL — Varsity Team only), and Ontario Lacrosse Association Sixes, which generally run from mid-May to Canadian Thanksgiving. The Varsity Team also competes in Canadian and U.S. tournaments throughout the year, including the Lake Placid Summit Classic in late July and the MidAtlantic Showcase in mid-November. This is a highly competitive program for Beaches and requires a strong commitment from players and parents to achieve the goals we set out each year. Beaches fields Rep Women’s teams in the following age groups: Varsity & U19 Gold. The age groupings are determined by birth year.
PROGRAM MISSION
• To have a great, enjoyable experience and continue to build upon friendships, competitive spirit, and a love of the game.
• To lead, develop, and promote a positive lacrosse experience for all players and their families.
• To create a learning environment built on a foundation of respect, integrity, and honour.
• To maximize the individual skills development of every player that will enable these players to compete at a high level of lacrosse for years to come.
• To emphasize that lacrosse is a team game, and that team achievements far outweigh individual accomplishments.
• To teach the importance of goal setting that allows for maximum personal, social, athletic and team development.
