1.Field Lacrosse at VKMLA in 2010: VKMLA is trying to establish field lacrosse teams to play inthe Pacific Coast Field
Lacrosse League (Sept. to March) at the U10 and U12 ages. For all inquires regarding registration, please contact the VKMLA registrar (registrar@vancouverlacrosse.com).
If these teams are formed, then players in all ages groups for which there are no teams at VKMLA (e.g., U14 to U19) and who wish to play in another association will need to have a release form filled out. This form can be obtained from the VKMLA registrar.
