Women

Directors

Girls interested in playing box lacrosse can play on the same teams as the boys, or play on an all girls team in our club.  In the past, we have combined with other GELC member clubs to form all girl teams in different divisions, as most girls feel more comfortable playing with other girls.  As registrations come in, we will be able to determine the make up of our girls program and the numbers associated with it.

Please refer to the GELC Site for more information - http://gelc.ab.ca/content/girls-lacrosse
