The President must be copied when permission is granted.
The player’s first obligation is always to the team for which he is registered.

This policy will give all players the opportunity to gain experience in the skills required to transition to the appropriate level of Junior lacrosse while protecting the rights of the team where they are currently registered. It also protects the rights of the players who are currently registered on the Junior teams.

There can be no exceptions to this policy except by Board approval.

Rep Tryout Philosophy

Any player whose intent to play representative lacrosse in the current season shall try out for the first team for KWMLA in their respective age group. Once released from first team, the intent of the player should be to continue with next level representative team until the player is either signed or released.

Any exemptions to the above philosophy must be at KWMLA board's approval.

Helmet Policy

All members of the KW Minor Lacrosse Association under the age of 18 must have a certified helmet and mask at all times when on the arena floor.
