Thank you for being trailblazers and registering with us for
the first OLA Sixes season.
Adjusting to the surprise of this season has been a challenge
for us, but we’re doing our best to try and get our teams together and ready. Thank
you for being patient! The last-minute change to the season from the OLA has
thrown all plans we had for the Fall out the window and we had to completely change
our schedule, roster make-up, and in some cases come up with coaching staffs!
Yesterday was the date all teams across the province had to
declare teams and we declared teams in the following divisions:
- ·
U9 – 1x Boys, 1x Girls
- ·
U11 – 2x Boys, 1x Girls
- ·
U13 – 1x Boys, 1x Girls
- ·
U15 – 1x Girls
- ·
U17 – 1x Girls
Based on registrations to date and the OLA limit of 12
players for a team here are updates for each group.
U9/U11 Boys – We have 36 registrations between these
two age groups. To allow all registrants to play, we are going to split this
group into three teams of 12. The plan is to have a team of U11 major-aged
players, a U11 team mixed with U11 minor-aged players and major-aged U9 players.
The remaining U9 players will form a team. Registration for these two age
groups is closing and we have no further space.
U13 Boys – We have 12 registrations and so
registration for this team is closing since we have no further space.
U9 Girls – We have enough players for a team, with a
few extra spots available. There were only two other teams declared in this age
group in the province, so we’re unsure at this time what the OLA’s plan is for
the U9 Girls.
U11/U13 Girls – We have space on both teams for more
registrations. There is a chance, in the absence of more registrations at U11,
that these two age groups merge for us, or that the U11 and U9’s combine to
allow the U9’s to play. Please be patient while we figure it out and encourage
friends to come out and play if they haven’t signed up yet.
U15 / U17 Girls – There were only two other teams
declared in the U15 age group in the province. Because of this the OLA has
already notified us they intend on merging the U15 and U17 age group. Based on
the registrations, we have no concerns on the capability of our team to be able
to compete in that mixed age group.
Regarding schedule, we have been severely limited in our
capability to schedule games while we wait for the team declarations to be
done. Expect to get more plans for games shortly. Don’t worry, we won’t plan
games for days / times where we can’t field a team. Expect the schedule to be
communicated asap from us, but please bookmark and use this website for the
schedule and results: https://www.ontariosixes.com/
. It is unlikely we can update our website with schedules. I would also
recommend familiarizing yourself with the game rules so you understand what you
are watching!
Thank you again for playing lacrosse with us this Fall. We
are very excited to get going!!
