Toronto Beaches competes in the Ontario Womens Field Lacrosse (OWFL), which generally runs mid-May and July. The U19 Blue team also competes in  Canadian and U.S. tournaments throughout the year. 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 Womens teams in the following age groups: Juniors, U19 and Seniors.  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.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Players born in the U19 age group are entitled to try out for U19 Blue team. The birth years and applicable age category for the current season can be found under “Registration”. Team tryouts are held during Fall Ball and Sprinter Ball so that we can plan and prepare for the following Rep season.

OWFL posts details of the upcoming season on the OWFL website and we keep players informed via Team Snap. Our teams generally practice on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
