The London Minor Lacrosse Association is committed to providing good spirited competition at all levels. Each player will be given the opportunity to develop his or her skills in a safe and positive environment. This will be provided through the committed cooperation of players, parents, coaches and officials.

Philosophy

The London Minor Lacrosse Association feels that lacrosse is not only a fun and exciting sports activity but also a healthy and positive alternative for our young people's fitness and personal development.

In keeping with this philosophy, the general aim of our association is to encourage growth in our association with the primary concern being player development. This development can be achieved by broadening our base (eg. increasing our numbers at the house league level) without jeopardizing the development of the competitive player.

The key to this grassroots movement requires commitment and leadership on the part of the executive and competitive coaches, as well as increased involvement of volunteers within our association
