Age Divisions
Minor Box Lacrosse players range in age from 5 years old to 16 years old. The divisions are similar to those found in minor hockey and the ages are based on the year of birth. For example, if a player turns 5 anytime within the calendar year, that player is eligible to play minor lacrosse as a mini tyke for that Lacrosse season.
