Covid 19 Update
As per recommendation from the Canadian Lacrosse Association, we are suspending all practices and lacrosse activities until April 5th. We will update as needed and are keeping a close eye on the healthcare guidelines and public health and safety recommendations to ensure our athletes, coaches and families are safe.
We do expect more information in the coming days and months, and will update the membership appropriately.
Calling all Coaches!
OMLA is looking for coaches for all levels! Please Contact us for more information! The Association will organize and pay for your attendance at a coaching clinic before the 2020 box season starts to get you up to speed - we will post the clinics available just as soon as they are released.
As a volunteer run organization it takes a lot of people to make things run smoothly throughout the year. We are looking for people to step up and help us out as Refs and Coaches.
If you are interested in being a Head Coach or an Assistant Coach please fill out the Coaches application at:

These sessions are designed for different skill levels and divisions, and will be indicated when published. Drop in and special clinics continue in March, but only for registered players, until the regular season practices begin.

The practice times start at the earliest 5:30 pm and run until 8:30 pm at the latest, with earlier times for younger divisions. Practices generally start in late March or early April and the regular season runs to mid-or late June, with Provincials taking place in July.
