The following information explains age categories and our planned direction for each category in the 2024 season.  At this point we are only providing information on our Box Lacrosse Regular Season and our Box Lacrosse Provincial Teams.

BOX LACROSSE REGULAR SEASON - This season is played on Prince Edward Island from April 1 - June 30.  This is a recreational league that everyone plays in.  Teams will be subdivided following two weeks of practice and player identifcation in early April.  This process is designed to encourage parity and safety in divisions.  Players should plan to attend one practice and one game per week.  Lacrosse PEI arranges it's divisions in three year clumps for the regular season.

U8 - 2017, 2018, 2019  (One day a week and is held in a gymnasium.  Player identification is not needed.)

LOCATIONS - Box Lacrosse is played in arenas and as such, we are at the mercy of when ice is removed from facilities before we can start our games.  In the absence of arenas, we use school gymnasiums to develop skills. Though our list and timings may change, we expect to be in these arenas for both the Regular Season and Provincial Programs.

April to Mid May: Bedeque, Crapaud, St. Peter's.
Mid-May - June 30: Bedeque, APM Centre, Cody Banks
July and August - Cody Banks (For Provincial Teams)
