Battlefords Alpha Lacrosse League opens registration
The Saskatchewan Rush debuted in the National Lacrosse League just one year ago and so too did a local Battlefords league for youth.
The Battlefords Alpha Lacrosse League is now entering its second season and has an adult division this year, plus a new division for kids aged 5-7.
Registration has just opened and the league begins Mar. 7. There are four total divisions: a youth one for ages 8-12, another one for ages 13-18, an adult division (19-plus), and the aforementioned new division for ages 5-7.
“I think with the popularity of lacrosse lately, it’s nice to have them start younger,” CUplex program manager Candace Dustan said of the new youth division. “And there was a bit of a gap in there. There are not many activities for that age range to do with sports at the Fieldhouse, so it was just a nice fit.”
