Where Ontario lacrosse Comes Together

Ontario Lacrosse hosts a series of marquee events throughout the year that showcase the very best of the game and celebrate the athletes, teams, coaches, officials, and leaders who make up the Ontario Lacrosse community.

Throughout the season, Invitational Tournaments sanctioned by Ontario Lacrosse and hosted by member clubs welcome teams from across the province. The “A” Qualifiers & Final Six make up Ontario’s premier youth box lacrosse circuit, determining which U13, U15, and U17 teams will compete for the Ontario “A” Minor Box Lacrosse Championships.

At the heart of the calendar is the Ontario Lacrosse Festival, the largest youth lacrosse event in the world. This 10-day celebration of the sport brings together players, families, and lacrosse fans in the Durham Region to compete and celebrate the game at every level.

Ontario Lacrosse also supports the ongoing development of the game and those who lead it through Ontario Lacrosse University, a series of professional development sessions delivered during the Semi-Annual General Meeting (SAGM). The program provides coaches, officials, and lacrosse leaders with valuable insights, education, and practical resources they can bring back to support their clubs and local lacrosse communities.

The year concludes with the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Award Luncheon, providing members with an opportunity to participate in governance, decision-making, and important discussions that guide the continued growth and development of lacrosse in Ontario.
