8U is for kids aged 7 and 8 years old.
The 8U program follows the guidelines as set forth by the Canadian Lacrosse Association Long Term Athlete Development Plan.
The format for 8U will be:
Please consult ALA Regulation 15.16 for full 8U rules.
The purpose of the 6U and 8U leagues is to introduce, emphasize, and develop the fundamental skills of lacrosse. The focus of practices as well as games is to promote an environment that encourages participation, skill development, and overall enjoyment of the game.
The CDLA has divided the 8U leagues up into 4 areas:
Deep South - Okotoks / High River
South Calgary - Axemen and Sabrecats
North Calgary - Hornets, Knights and Rockyview
Rockyview - Rockyview
The reason for this is to allow for all games to be played close to home and reduce travel to and from games.
Score is kept and entered into the League Management System.
