U13

U13 (2012-2013)

For the 2024 season players born in 2012, 2013 (ages 11, 12) will participate in the U13 program. Please watch our website and Facebook for more information about the upcoming Winter Camp and Box Lacrosse Season.

Our registration is closed.

Please contact the registrar registrar@okotokslacrosse.com if you are registering your child in the U13 division.

For the 2023 season, players born in 2011-2012 (ages 11, 12) participate in the U13 program. The U13 program typically has 2-3 floor times a week.

They will spend more time developing their skills, and playing more games.

All players are assessed and evaluated, as U13 is a non-parity division - meaning players are placed on teams with equal or similar skill levels to create a fair and competitive season. (What non-parity means: like-skilled/tiered groupings,The U13 division is tiered into A and B Divisions, there will be no C division for the 2023 season.)

Players who are looking for the highest skill level and most competitive environment may attend evaluations for the HOKs A team which combines players from the ORLA, High River, northeast Calgary Knights and possibly the Strathmore area to create a team to compete at the highest skill level against the larger clubs in Calgary. The HOKs team may have practices outside of the Okotoks area to accommodate teams from these other locations and may also play a regular season game as far north as Red Deer as the Red Deer A team plays with the CDLA at this age level.

U13 season runs until end of June and ends with city-wide provincials at the end of the season (end of June, beginning of July).

• Players can also expect to participate in weekend tournaments. These tournaments are determined by each team.

Evaluations will be scheduled for mid March to the beginning of April - they will be emailed to the email on the account on the registration and posted online.
