New Westminster has a long standing reputation in the game of lacrosse and the New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association (NWMLA) is proud to offer the youth of New Westminster a positive and safe recreational choice for players of all skill levels.
The NWMLA is a member association of the Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse League (PCFLL). The season takes place during the Fall/Winter months. The PCFLL consist of Youth (co-ed) and Women’s (female only) divisions in the following age groups: U7, U9, U11, U13, U15, and U18.
Girls are welcome to register and play in the Youth (co-ed) or Women-only division. Women’s field lacrosse is non-contact, and is a game based on stick skills, speed, and strategic play. In the younger divisions, girls play a 7-vs-7 style of game on a half field – the focus is on development of their stick skills, passing and positioning. In the older divisions, girls play 11-vs-11 on a full field.
