Mini Game Equipment Offer For Ontario Lacrosse Clubs

News
Written By Ontario Lacrosse

Ontario Lacrosse is continuing to support clubs delivering introductory programming through the Mini Game Equipment Offer, providing a turnkey solution for associations looking to implement or expand 3-on-3 Mini Game programming in their communities.

The Mini Game format is designed as an introductory version of lacrosse, scaled specifically for young participants. By reducing the playing surface and simplifying the game structure, the format increases pace, maximizes engagement, and creates more opportunities for skill development and participation.

Through this offer, clubs can access a complete equipment package tailored for Soft Lacrosse, U7, and U9 divisions (ages 3–8), supporting delivery of age-appropriate, non-contact programming aligned with Long-Term Athlete Development principles.

This initiative reflects a continued commitment to reducing barriers to entry and equipping clubs with the tools needed to grow participation at the community level. By aligning equipment, programming, and promotional resources, associations are better positioned to introduce the game and create positive early experiences for new players.

MINI GAME EQUIPMENT SET DETAILS

Each Mini Game Equipment Set includes:

  • 3’ x 3’ portable nets with mesh (2)

  • Roll-up Mini Game creases (2)

  • Vinyl shooter tutors (2)

  • Soft Lacrosse balls (25) and ball bucket (1)

  • OLA Mini Game promotional posters (25)

The equipment is designed for ease of use and storage, with lightweight, portable nets and roll-up creases that support flexible program delivery in a variety of community settings.

SUPPORTING CLUB DELIVERY

The Mini Game Equipment Offer is complemented by additional resources to support successful program delivery, including promotional materials and customizable templates for local outreach. Clubs can work with Ontario Lacrosse to develop community-specific posters and promotional assets to support recruitment efforts.

This integrated approach ensures clubs have both the physical equipment and the promotional tools needed to successfully launch and sustain introductory programming.

ORDERING INFORMATION

Mini Game Equipment Sets are available to OLA clubs at a preferred rate. Clubs interested in placing an order or learning more are encouraged to contact Ron MacSpadyen, Programs Director at ron@ontariolacrosse.com
